About this practice
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.
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.
Best surgeon I had.he made me feel at ease and he will with anyone who comes his way .he got me thru 2 skin graft surgeries.he deserves all 5 stars!
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.
