Derek Bell, M.D.

This provider is very difficult to get information from. If you are not going in as a educated, patient knowing the right questions to ask you receive no information from this physician.

Dr Bell is a highly accredited surgeon and the only one willing to do the surgery. But he is no nonsense with his bed side manor. He is not rude but he is not gregarious

Dr Bell also had a resident doctor whose name I can't recall and he was EXCELLENT too!

Excellent

Wish the provider had asked me "what questions do you have" at the end of the visit, and paused long enough for me to collect my thoughts before the visit was over.

Jul 13, 2023

Considering my medical condition, the visit was a very good experience.

He gave a complete description of my issue, the procedure to fix it and what I could expect after treatment.

Dr Bell was phenomenal! During my initial appointment to consider surgery for a lipoma he seemed very professional and "matter of fact". On the day of surgery when he had to abort the surgery due to suspicious nature of the mass he came in to room and sat bedside to explain the situation saying it was sent out to be biopsied. At my follow up appointment he was extremely kind and caring. While he was unable to totally interpret the results of the testing he had already been in touch with someone who could. I was in Dr Bell's office on Friday [...] and was called later that day with an appointment for Monday [...] with an oncologist. I so greatly appreciate Dr Bell's "bedside manner" and his expeditious referral [...]. Please let Dr Bell know how much I appreciate the care that he provideplus he is excellent at what he does! There is very little scarring left by the incision that he did do. Thank you!

The dr. knew a lot about my health condition and the solution to make me better.

I was so concerned about surgery but everything went better than expected!

Dec 05, 2022

Dr Bell was very involved and interested in my problems. He spoke of things going on the I was not informed of by my own pcp. I appreciate his input.

The doctor was quite arrogant while talking to me when I was explaining the painI was experiencing regarding the surgery from 1 1/2 year ago. [...]

Great experience

Dr. Bell was very straight to the point and direct. He knew exactly how to deal with the problem, very confident about recovery, concerned about the questions I had about caring for wound.

Sep 12, 2022

Dr. Bell is indeed very busy. I was there for a second appointment (preop). He clearly did not have my medical records, for the first thing he asked me was "have we met before?" (yes we did). He briefly and vaguely described the surgery and then was gone. The entire encounter was about 5 seconds long. I got a better explanation from Dr. Vella and it was my trust in Dr. Vella that caused me to continue to allow Dr. Bell to do the surgery.

Dr. Bell is brilliant and skilled in his craft. I trust him completely to do what's in my best interest. He takes the time to listen to my concerns and explain all treatment options and outcomes.

Dr. Bell is excellent at what he does. He has a poor Bedside Manner. Is extremely condescending [...]

I was seen by NP,Resident and Dr. BELL. All were complete in their assessment, interested in teaching process and intervention to meet my needs.
