I've heard from other patients that Dr. Bell sees almost 60 patients a day in Janesville. That's crazy!! Maybe you need to hire more of his caliber in his specialty. It's amazing that he treats you so well and you don't sense the pressure he's under time wise to fit in so many patients.

Everything about him is excellent. He is very caring, compassionate and explains everything so that I am able to understand it.

Sep 22, 2026
DR. BELL was apologetic for the long wait- but only him- not the first staff member that checked me into the exam room. His assistant/transcriber was very helpful as well.

Sep 22, 2026
As always, the entirety of the appointment took way too long. 1 hour and 20 minutes to see staff for less than 15 minutes

He gives me a good feeling about my eye care. I would probably be blind if not for him and Dr Schramek.

Aug 13, 2026
Only one criticism. The process of moving between services needs work. I sat for over an hour waiting for next appt and needed to inquire about my appt. as others who arrived after me were seen. When I asked, staff was very nice and got me seen. Was told Dr Bell had an emergency.

Aug 13, 2026
I wouldn't hesitate to request Dr. Bell for my needs again.

Aug 13, 2026
Second to none!
