"He was very friendly. He remains very friendly. The office staff are on top things. They are also very organized. I have the impression it is a LARGE practice and they have their rules for a reason. You will have to adjust your schedule to theirs. I like Dr. Bell, he calls back during the week days. Although when I had problem over the weekend the doc that called back didn't know me at all.rnIt's been my experience that Dr. Bell begins planning for his patient's futures the minute he meets them. He constantly makes statements like: 2 months out you'll be working out; 6 months out you'll be working out even harder; and 18 months out you'll be preparing for plastic surgery. Dr. Bell speaks very clearly and concisely. He has a very structured longitudinal program. Dr. Bell spoke very clearly about the risks however, he also offered many precautions and solutions these risks. At the hospital I only saw Dr. Bell once. And the other docs on the unit, well I wouldn't have chosen them. In addition, I didn't really like the way my discharge went. I kind of got the impression I was discharging myself. I didn't feel competent that Dr. Bell was up on everything going on with me at the hospital.rnI highly recommend Dr. Bell. In addition I think he surrounds himself with other professionals and competent people.rnI believe surgical competence is a necessity and priority. However, for me I like a doc with good social skills as well.rn"
