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

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.

I wouldn't hesitate to request Dr. Bell for my needs again.

He is the kindest doctor I have seen in a long time. Even though there are people waiting, he gives a person a decent time to discuss eye problems. He is very caring. He is a "keeper".

The experience with Dr. Bell and staff was excellent but the check-in via computer was tedious and time consuming. In my case, two of the items were contradictory. The live clerks on duty when I reported for the appointed corrected the mistake in the spelling of my name and accepted the contradictory items.
