How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I Cannot Recommend This Doctor for Consultations.
This review is for a consultation with Dr. Bell;
Pros:
There was plenty of time allocated to the visit, 1.5 hours. The office staff was courteous, the doctor seemed to want to help me with my case. He understood the frustration of trying to find the right help in the medical world. He spent a good amount of time reviewing my scans with me. He sends an overwhelming amount of information prior to the visit, some of which I found helpful. I walked away with reassurance that I was going down the right path.
Cons:
Dr. Bell spent little time building rapport, and the consultation started abruptly, followed by what I felt was a disorganized appointment.
He was unprofessional at times throughout the consultation and was interrogative concerning personal relationships, my job, and condescending towards previous doctors I have established relationships with, some of which he had little to no information on their background or experience in their respective fields. I was also interrupted while trying to answer questions the doctor had.
One of the documents I received was “8 Questions to ask your surgeon about orthognathic surgery”, which I added some to my personal list of questions I wanted to ask during my consultation. While some of these were answered during our time, the meeting ended abruptly, and I had no opportunity to ask any questions I had on my list.
Dr. Bell spent approximately 10-15 minutes screensharing a thread on Reddit, where he had an exchange with another poster, and read line for line his back and forth with the individual. The content had no relevance to my case but used this time to make the point that there was a lot of misinformation on Reddit, something that we both agreed on.
Lastly, while Dr. Bell was screensharing, approximately 3 times he scrolled through a folder showing the names of patients, which concerned me about the privacy of my visit and information.
I gave 2 stars because of the pro’s listed, but I cannot recommend this doctor for consultations.
