Dr. Darren J Bell, MD

Dr bell has been my eye dr for a few years but his billing dep recently over charged me 45$. That may not seem like much but for a 100% disabled vet it eats into my budget I have not been able to reach anyone to clear this up!

I have had my retinas in both eyes tear away from the wall of my eyeball in two separate incidence. He was able to save my vision both times with a laser in his office. The Doctor has great skill and is very good at explaining things in concise terms. Follow-ups have been very thorough he listens patiently to my questions and I never feel rushed. I highly recommend Dr. Bell to anyone, especially if you have eye damage related to diabetes.

My wife and I both saw Dr Bell for our latest eye exam. His exam was very thorough and he explained what he was seeing with my eyes very clearly in words I could understand. We will definitely be back next year!

As senior partner of his group, Dr. Bell was consulted and OK'd a routine lens replacement surgery on my husband even though he was taking a blood thinner at the time. I spent 8 hours waiting on a 30-minute outpatient procedure which destroyed the patient's right (dominant eye and left him in excruciating pain which lasted for well over a month. Dr Bell actually questioned the duration of the pain, and he commented that we lucky to have 2 eyes because that meant he still had one functioning. (Can one eye with a corrected score of 20/700 on the eye chart be considered functional?) My husband's right eye is now shrunken, half-closed, no pupil, all gray--very creepy. Needless to say, the man has a lot of trouble navigating with one eye that was poor to start with. We don't feel "lucky".

We traveled 182 miles to see Dr Bell and it was totally worth it. The exam was very thorough and the staff professional and compassionate. Dr Bell used many good analogies when he explained some of the factors that have to work together to result in good vision. I have very much respect for a doctor who does not take advantage of a desperate patient by performing a surgery that may improve only one of those factors, but not necessarily improve the vision of a 91 year old. The decision was ultimately ours to make and we decided not to have surgery at this point. But if we ever change our minds, we would definitely trust Dr Bell to do it.

I have suffered from a rare eye disease for over 40 years and recently was diagnosed with MD and cataracts as well. I saw Dr. Bell here and he was fabulous! Excellent care, professional, patient, took the time to explain and listen to my concerns and questions. I have been under some of the best in the business around the country over 40 years and have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Bell as one of the best I have had the pleasure of calling Dr. The office and other staff were very friendly, helpful and professional and my overall experience was as high as it gets.

Dr. Bell was the amazing M.D who saved our daughters eye and eyesight when she had a FREAK accident with a steak knife... It's been 7 years since her surgery and she has regained about 65-70% of her vision back thanks to his hard work and dedication. He helped us during Post-Op care for and save her eye and now helps her to maintain vision. Thank You & God Bless you Dr. Bell - You are truly amazing!

My husband went yesterday with Dr Bell, he was very nice, and explained everything in a very clear way, showed us the pictures from the OCT, we are very happy to have found him!!!!

Dr. Bell has been and is a very decdicated and talented doctor. I am privileged to have him as my eye surgeon. He presented a plan for me and I felt safe and assured that I would end up just as he said that I would. I thank Dr. Bell everyday, even though he does not hear me, for fixing the problems that existed with my eye.

He is very attentive and is willing to answer all questions. Very Honest and makes you feel comfortable. Like you can ask him anything. You never feel rushed.
