Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Absolutely the best.
Excellent bedside manner. This man definitely cares about what he's doing. Very engaging, knowledgeable, experienced, competent, professional and courteous. I choose him for my total hip surgery feb 19 2025...all visits, pre-op, surgery date and all post-op visits were handled with upmost attention to detail totally putting client at ease. His entire staff team works together, always with you as top priority. Special shout-out to Breana Bost, one of his assistants for all of the letters and correspondence sent to my place of employment. Also to Doctor Jay Wormer, Certified Physician Assistant who works hand in hand with Doctor Bell. They make a great team. I am above and beyond satisfied with my hip surgery and recovery to a pain free life. If there is a heaven...these people have my vote to move to the front of the line. Thank you Doctor Joshua A. Bell. I'll never forget this incredible journey back to health.

Total Knee Replacement Post Op Visit
Dr Bell performed a TKR on me in January of this year. After initially meeting with him last September to review my situation he felt I was a good candidate. Dr Bell explained everything that would take place during the surgery and what to expect after. He took the time to answer questions and didn’t rush me. Surgery went very well. Dr Bell has a great texting system with his patients who are recovering at home. So helpful and encouraging! During my post op visit today, which was 7 weeks out from surgery Dr Bell checked my knee. All looks great. I would definitely recommend Dr Bell! So pleased with everything.

Outstanding surgeon for hip replacement
Dr Bell is a very personable doctor and easy to talk with. He listens and provides all options. He told me three years ago that i was a candidate for HR, but I would know when it was the right time. He uses latest technology to stay in touch with patients before and after surgery on a daily basis. His office staff is very responsive and caring. My recovery was very easy because I followed his instructions. Excellent experience.

Outstanding Surgeon for knee replacement
Dr Bell and the staff were amazing for my recent knee replacement. They provided comprehensive information about the surgery, necessary preparation, and suggestions to make it easier. Everything was presented in person and on paper to refer back to. Dr Bell included me in decisions about the surgery. I cannot think of anything that could have been done better, from the initial discussion of surgery, through the procedure, the follow-up therapy, and the post-op appointment. OUTSTANDING surgeon. HIGHLY recommend.

Dr. Bell Knee Replacement. The Best
Over the period of leading up to surgery, the knee replacement surgery itself, and then post surgery, Dr. Bell has been fantastic (same with his staff). I couldn’t be more pleased. Dr. Bell is kind, attentive and thorough. Above all he’s a fantastic surgeon! My knee is doing great. A credit to him and his staff. If you’re considering any orthopedic related treatment, I recommend you contact Dr. Bell. You won’t find anyone better.

Wonderful, caring and thorough!!
Dr. Bell had a wonderful way of making me feel calm before my surgery and after. He truly listens to concerns and answers questions thoroughly. He is highly competent and has a refreshing way of caring for his patients. Will recommend over and over again! Thank you! I especially appreciated the automatic texts that were sent for weeks explaining what I should expect throughout my recovery. Very helpful!!

Dr. Bell is the definition of an excellent doctor
Dr. Bell performed left and right anterior hip replacement for me. Each time surgery and recovery went without incident. I regained my ability to walk normally with absolutely no discomfort. My husband and I both agree he is the most skilled and professional doctor ever experienced by both of us.

Dr Bell hip replacement
after suffering from severe hip pain for a while. I made an appointment with Dr.Bell He was very thorough and explaining to me my condition and showing me the pictures of the x-rays and explaining what they meant. He quickly put me at ease with my situation. Through the surgery and afterwards he was always there if you needed him. His Surgery Texts were a great help. When I questioned something I could look at them and I would feel better. I would highly recommend Dr. bell for the hip surgery. his professionalism and concern got me through this hard time and would highly recommend him. Thank you, Dr. bell for making my life much easier.

His staff is wonderful. All the prescriptions I needed post-op were available for pick-up the week before sugery. My trust level with Dr. Bell and his PA Jay Wormer was so high I never asked for a second opinion. My recovery was aligned with what I was originally told. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Bell and his amazing staff.

My new left knee is great!
After many years of pain and discomfort I went to see Dr Bell on a friend’s referral. Best choice I could have made. After discussing my knees with him I decided to go ahead with a left knee replacement. It is 7 weeks since surgery and I am doing great. I never had any intense pain, more achy and sore. He has a texting service that texts you every day and tells you what to expect along the way and some encouraging words. You can text back a key word and learn more about recovery. It was actually mind calming to get text about just what I was experiencing. I did just what I was told to do and finished up with PT in record time. I couldn’t be more satisfied with Dr. Bell and his staff. I know I will have my right knee replaced in the future and I have no fear!! Thank you, Dr Bell for your expertise and caring!!

Complete hip replacement
Dr Bell took his time explaining my condition and my surgery option along with all my questions. I felt like my case was important to him. He visited me several times in the recovery room. He uses a text system daily to communicate about my recovery. It answers all your questions. He obviously loves what he does and is very good at it. I highly recommend Dr Bell.

Knee replacement
Dr. Bell is a rarity. Your time with him is YOUR time. He's not in a hurry to leave, he listens to you, gives you a clear diagnosis and your options. After surgery he stayed in contact with me daily through texts, including video helps, with encouragement, stretches, and information as to my progress, for my entire recovery period. At any time if I had a question I could add it to his text and I received an immediate response. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Hip Surgery
Dr. Bell is great at what he does! I was referred to him for a hip replacent surgery after I failed all other treatments. Dr Bell and his team are great. He was prompt and took the time to explain everything to me so I knew what what to expect. Surgery was a great success and I was back to my life in less than two weeks. I can recommend without hesitation for total knee and total hip surgeries.
