I’ve only been to see Dr. Bell twice, and both times have been pretty painful, even with Tylenol, but guess what, he’s a pro, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to to do the work that he has to do.. He’s always upbeat, easy-going, and extremely competent. Couldn’t ask for a better doctor

I've just completed a year long procedure for dental implants and I can unequivocally say that Dr. Bell and all of his associates and staff at Okanagan Oral Surgery are the consummate professionals. Their expertise, caring attention, skill and cooperative friendliness were unwavering throughout the process and made what I expected would be a harrowing time into a successful and reassuring process. Thank you Dr. Bell and all of the people at Okanagan Oral Surgery!!

I recently had jaw surgery and implants done by Dr. R. Bell. I've never met a surgeon who was this nice to me before. (All surgeons could take lessons from him on how to help their patients feel confident and cared about.) He is simply amazing in his attitude, bedside manner as well as knowledge and skill. I'm so impressed that words can hardly describe my positive experience with this Dr. If there were 10 stars to click on this what my rating would be. Thank you Dr. Bell!

Our son had multiple extractions recently with Dr. Bell. We were so impressed with the office staff, and especially the RN (Louise) assisting us and with Dr. Bell himself. They were thorough, knowledgeable, genuine, and kind. Our son is only 11 and he felt very comfortable and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Dr. Bell and the Okanagan Oral Surgery Centre; we went to the Vernon clinic.

I have just received double jaw surgery on March 7 2016. Dr Bell has been top notch in every leave. As I was preparing for this surgery he was always clear on informing me with what's to come. And even down to the surgery day as I was ready for surgery he had to inform me of extra work that was nessasary for a proper bite even though I was extremely nervous and worried Dr Bell showed a lot of confidence and reasurment that put me in a calm state. My care for after the surgery was pleasant he was always on time with what he said he would do. And even every apt after has been a positive experience. I'm so thankful for his skilled hands that have forever changed my life in such a positive way. A dream come true. I suffered with a class 3 underbite and now that I'm on the other side I can look back a share how thankful I'm to have such a great doctor. Even in my setbacks he reassured me I would make it he informed me it would be hard at times and with his honestly I was prepared to take on that challenge. I would recommend any one that needs corrective jaw surgery to have it done by Dr,Bell. This experience has changedd my life I had no idea how bad I was suffering not being able to chew food properly. I knew But I really couldn't get the whole thing but he made it right. Everyday when I see myself in the mirror I'm forever grateful I still have a long road to healing and to be honest I feel amazing. I highly recommend Dr Bell. This is not an easy surgery to go threw its overwhelming and uncomfortable at times but great care has been a positive roll in my healing. Thankyou Dr Bell. 👍

My son had jaw surgery in March. The surgery has been done many times. Unfortunately for my son he had some complications that are not normal for this procedure and ended up having 2 more surgeries. I found Dr. Bell and the staff to be exceptional throughout this difficult time. They were knowledgeable, and compassionate. What I really appreciate was that there was a direct line of communication with Dr. Bell and myself as he provides you with his cell number. Dr. Bell cares deeply about his patient and this was evident when he called me in regards to my sons care well on vacation in Mexico. I would highly recommend Dr. Bell ad his staff.
