A while back I had an argument with a friend when I stated doctors only worked for money and not because they genuinely cared about people. After meeting Dr. Bethel I can sit here and admit I was wrong. During a visit to his office with my 2 month old son I realized there are docs out there who genuinely care about their patients. He treated us with respect, courtesy and most of all he gave us the level of trust needed to authorize a surgery on a newborn.

Dr. Bethel made me and my daughter feel so comfortable when she had to have surgery before she was even a year old. He has a great manner about him - I highly recommend him.
