I have been seeing Dr. Bell for many years now and felt compelled to leave feedback. I must say that Dr. Bell has taken very good care of me in spite of myself. She unapologetically encourages me to adopt a healthier lifestyle. We set goals and celebrate when we hit good numbers. She carefully reviews my progress with me at every visit and is very responsive to my concerns. We have spirited discussions which I greatly appreciate and have learned from the perspective of a knowledgeable and confident physician which is what you will get with Dr. Bell. We don’t always agree but we always work together on a solution and maintaining health.
