Dr Bell is a wonderful surgeon ,he has installed a fixator on my left ankle and then about 3 weeks later he removed the fixator and installed a couple of plates and screws. I have been seeing Dr Bell for 4 months and to this day I am currently still seeing him as he is keeping up on my progress. Dr Bell has an excellent bedside Manor and his staff is very pleasant. I highly recommend him and would give him more stars if I could.

Horrible experience! He made me wait for the surgery for 3 weeks after trauma! Few months after surgery on the knee my leg developed valgus deformity and became VERY painful to walk on. I was told by another doctor that the surgery was unreasonably delayed and finally not performed correctly! The only solution now is knee replacement. This doctor has arrogant attitude, NOT experienced, and would never admit his mistakes!

Dr. Bell did my broken hip repair inserting 20 screws. I am healing well. I see him tomorrow for X-ray and see how I’m doing- I am thankful to him And can say without his expertise I would be pretty bad off. No one at mayo could do this type hip procedure thus I went shands trauma- he is one of the best ever - he’s a 5 rating

Dr. Bell saved my knee. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Bell. I was so scared that I would lose the ability to walk. He performed two surgeries on my leg. He was very patient & explained everything in a nice way, that I understood. He has a great bedside manner.

Felt like I was just a number not an actual patient. I loved the staff, but won't be seeing Dr. Bell again.
