Dr.Bell was my hand doctor in El Paso, Tx. after he moved to St.Louis, MO., I was able to continue to see him for treatment, although, I drove through at least 3 states to see him. He did surgery on both of my hands, and the right one twice. He's very knowledgeable and I wouldn't trust my hands to anyone else. He is the BEST! (this may be my 2nd review) :)

Dr. Bell was absolutely wonderful!! I went in anxious and scared, and left with a solution for my hand, knowledge as to what caused the issue, and peace of mind. His staff was wonderful and very caring, and truly wanted to help me. I highly recommend Dr. Bell, one of the best doctors I have ever seen.

Dr. Bell has been my hand surgeon for at least 10 years. He has operated on both of my hands several times. His expertise as a surgeon is the absolute best in the field. I highly recommend him to anyone needing hand surgery.

Dr. Bell is a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon but is not a BOARD CERTIFIED HAND SURGEON. There is a Difference.

Proposed a surgery that would have saved me 3 years agonizing pain. day of the surgery he chose to honor the workers comp requests for a cheaper surgery. and the pain goes on. workers compensation laws are evil.
