Dr. James Bell has been my retina specialist for several years now and he always seems to take the time to explain things in a clear and easily understood way. Even though I know he is very busy due to the productivity and efficiency metrics SSM Health and other similar healthcare organizations use to force their physicians and patient care staff to see as many patients as humanly possible. In spite of these pressures put on staff I always find Dr Bell to be a wonderfully caring physician.
