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.

So thankful!
Due to multiple issues, I was referred to Dr. Bell with an appointment in 2 weeks. Very anxious as I am same age as my grandmother when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer and died 5 months later. I was scheduled for total laparoscopic hysterectomy with BSO. Surgery went well with overnight stay. All medical staff was great. Thankfully all benign. Very impressed with her staff and her knowledge. Highly recommend.

Dr. Maria Bell performed surgery on me when I was 26 years old. The year was 2011. At the age of 15, I had undergone a partial hysterectomy and was advised that my chances of getting pregnant were almost nonexistent by other doctors. Dr. Bell had done my second surgery and successfully removed several pelvic masses and due to her excellent skills I was able to have a perfect and healthy baby girl. She just turned 2 yesterday. This baby was the only thing I ever wanted in life. Thank you Dr. Bell
