I wish there is a rating of zero, too. He messed up his surgery and lied about it afterwards. Brought a lot of pain to my child and our whole family!

We have had three children in need of the spinal surgery. Dr. Bellflower performed two of the three and was the by far more superior than the other doctor. We are very pleased with the results.

Our overall experience with Dr. Bellflower has been excellent. his team is fantastic. In a stressful situation, he made us feel calm and reassured with his caring, kind manner. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon.

Dr Bellflower did a bilateral osteotomy of the femurs on my eight year old daughter. The surgery went smoothly without complications. Dr Bellflower and his PA Tara both have excellent bedside manner and were helpful and knowledgable in the area of ortheopedics. I would recommend Dr Bellflower to any parent seeking quality care for thier child.

This Dr. is great!!! When my daughter was 2 weeks old she was found to have a hip problem. None of the Dr.'s in our town of Lafayette were able to diagnose the problem. When she was 8 weeks old the Dr. in Lafayette referred us to Dr. Bellflower and he found the problem instantly. After 8 more weeks in a brace, the brace was removed and everything looks great. Now we only go back once a year for x-rays and the Dr. checks everything out. He is SUPER!!!
