Dr. Christopher Bell, MD

Dr Bell performed 2 surgeries on me. Feb 2023 - Removal of Fatty Growth on my side and Gastric Sleeve in May 2023. Both Surgeries were successful. He and his staff have done an excellent job of keeping me informed and taken care of pre-op and post-op. So grateful to have found a surgeon that I can trust and depend on to give me the best possible experiences in some not so best circumstances.

Dr. Bell is an awesome doctor. He’s placed three, soon to be four, ports for me over the past 6 years. Whenever I have an issue with my port his medical assistant is very helpful and Dr. Bell requests testing promptly. He also responds to testing results promptly, schedules consults, and schedules surgery promptly. His bedside manner is very calming and kind. He is very compassionate and sensitive to patients (like me) who have childhood medical trauma and thus struggle with going under anesthesia.

Dr. Bell is an outstanding Dr. He listens and doesn't rush. He helped my son by performing a laparoscopic procedure. I have gone to 4 other doctors to help my son and they all said something different. Dr. Bell calls to check on my son's progress. I highly recommend Dr Bell , he is the only Doctor that has listened to what we were going through and did a fantastic job on my son's surgery. Thank you Dr. Bell for all of your help . JT

Dr. Bell repaired ventral hernia. He is the best; gave me quality of life back.

Dr. Bell performed a total thyroidectomy on me this May 2019. Although he acknowledged my concerns about possible damage to my vocal cords and parathyroid glands before surgery, he assured me that the surgery would be very meticulous and that any post-op occurrence of hoarseness or low calcium levels would be temporary. After my surgery, Dr. Bell did not come speak to me directly nor follow up with me about how the surgery had gone. I was never informed that my parathyroid glands had been auto-transplanted, but I overheard this in the recovery room. I am now 6 months post-op, and I am still suffering from low calcium and parathyroid levels, as well as a weak voice, due to vocal cord paralysis caused by the surgery. After six months, vocal cord damage is considered permanent. Despite 2 months of speech therapy, my voice has not improved and I will likely have to undergo another procedure to try to improve my voice. This has negatively affected my quality of life.

I highly recommend Dr. Bell and his staff. He is genuinely concerned about your health, talks you through your concerns and supports you post-op. His office staff is easy to communicate with and willing to help you navigate the system. His surgical team is highly qualified and everyone works well together.
