Wait time was a little longer than I expected. But that’s fine I know he is busy. I am a whole year out on my right shoulder surgery and I am very please with my recovery. I am doing great. Dr. Bell is the best.

I had severe pain to right shoulder. X-ray completed. Dr Bell reviewed x-ray with me. Treatment options explained and I was allowed input. I would recommend this practice highly. Staff was also informative during visit.

Dr Bell is excellent! He performed shoulder surgery on my husband and daughter which both were successful. When I started having issues with my knee, his scheduler, Leanne, fit me in his schedule the next morning! Kudos to his entire staff!!
