From the reviews

Dr. Bell, this is long over due! On March 26th, 2014 I attempted suicide by fire, torching my house. I had third degree burns on both legs and right foot. I was blessed having you as my surgeon. No one believes by looking at my legs that I endured skin grafts. Your skills are top notch! Your compassion is the same.

★★★★★ — Richard, Sep 2022

Very kind, caring, and patient doctor. His staff are great as well. I went to the ER for a very bad second degree burn and was there for a few days. Healthcare is scary! Dr. Bell and his team helped clear ambiguity and fear. They were great with after care as well. Grateful for his work and expertise.

★★★★★ — Janice, Nov 2024

Dr.Bell is confident, knowledgeable and personable. I am extremely grateful as his skill level left no indication I had surgery. His staff was very pleasant and helpful. I would highly recommend this physician.

Researching a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.

Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
