Christopher Bell PA was great! I was very nervous about my appt and he was empathetic to that. A very good bedside manner, he listened to my concerns and addressed them all. He was very knowledgeable, explained the next steps to me and treated me very respectful. I was called that day with a follow up appt date. It was a smooth transition from booking an appt, being seen and a follow up scheduled. I would highly recommend this office and Christoper Bell PA
