Not my favorite doctor. I guess she was too busy to be friendly.

She was unsympathetic and unhelpful.She disregarded my concerns to the point of telling me I was wrong about my own body.She also told me I would have a fever after receiving a steroid injection in my foot which I verified with the podiatrist.He stated that it was unfounded.I will not return and will not refer her.

Positives: the front desk staff were courteous and efficient. I was seen in a timely manner. Dr. Bell was also polite and pleasant to talk with at my first appointment. Negatives: The office requires you to come in for a consultation-like visit to speak with the doctor and "establish care" before the doctor will do a physical. I found this policy to be a large waste of time. The nurse/tech made no attempt at conversation and I had to ask her what my vital signs were. On my second visit I found Dr. Bell to be rather condescending/preachy and she seemed rushed. I don't believe her physical assessment was as thorough as it could have been. She also wanted to do a pap smear even though I was menstruating at the time (pap smears collected during menstruation are generally not recommended since it can affect the results) and she seemed a bit annoyed that I wanted to reschedule the pelvic exam.

I only went to see her for my yearly pap exam. She was very courteous to me and we chatted for several minutes before and after the exam. I must say it was the easiest, most pain-free and comfortable pap exam I have ever had.

Used to be caring an supportive, but recently uncaring and acted as if I was wasting her time.

Dr. Bell is hot and cold. She misdiagnosed a sinus infection and yelled at me for a mistake her office made. I switched practices because of her rudeness and lack of apology.
