Friendly personality, but always seems in a rush. Doesn't thoroughly exam or test.

Dr. Bell is a good caring doctor, he has the interest in the patient 's well being. He takes the time to talk, and explain the issues, to me too. Dr. Bell is the best. I would recommend Dr. Bell, to anyone.

I was able to get an appointment very quickly. The staff was very courteous and I was checked in and was seen by Dr Bell within 5 minutes of my arrival. Dr Bell explained the issues to my satisfaction and answered my questions. Very professional and I would recommend him to anyone who needed a cardiologist.

I personally like Dr. Bell, however he does not care about his patients. He never refers(in my case) for additional tests or scans or reviews,in conditions which have duplicate symptoms. I would be dead today if I had not seeked another doctor within three weeks of visiting Dr. Bell. He talks a good game. He is just wanting to get you in and get you out and get a fee. He could care less about his patients. I would trust a nurse practioner before I would Calvin Bell. He did his residency at Vanderbilt so there is no lack of training, just attitude. I will never,never go back to him.
