I like Dr. Bell and my interactions with her.
Dr. Bell is attentive and relatable to my situation, worth the wait! Her holistic approach pillars my integrative health care appointment.
I am a fairly healthy [...] year old woman who is struggling with symptoms typical of other women my age. Dr. Bell is THE ONLY Dr I have seen who provides me with practical, holistic care. I have paid for several months of concierge health care with a different Integrative Med doctor who put me on massive amounts of supplements and a very strict and unsuitable eating program. I really value Dr. Bell and her approach. She is trustworthy, realistic, and provides guidance that is very easy to integrate into my life without radically changing everything about my routine. I am already worried that Dr. Bell will retire and I will be left without a collaborative partner to see me through my days! She is wonderful, a much needed resource, and way too scarce.
Dr. Bell is the reason that I have not change clinics from UW Medicine to Overlake.
Dr. Bell gave me a thorough education on the issues I brought up. I learned a lot and am empowered to take care of my health.
