Phillip M. Bell, MD, Jacksonville FL

Dr. Bell is amazing! My husband had both of his knees replaced within a year and his recovery was smooth and successful. Dr. Bell is energetic and exudes confidence. Everyone we worked with outside of the practice from the pre/post op nursing staff to the PT said Dr. Bell is a rock star. We would highly recommend Dr. Bell for any kind of orthopedic surgery.

I had full left knee replacement surgery on August 9th 2023. Dr. Bell and his staff were absolutely terrific. The pre & post surgery consultations were thorough and informative, and surgery itself was a complete success. It has now been 12 weeks since the surgery and I’m back fully exercising (walking, cycling, weights, etc.) with no pain or discomfort. Many thanks again to Dr. Bell and his team.

Wow, my expectations were met 100%. When I got my first Knee done, I had my doubts.because he looked so young! I was so wrong. He was so experienced, kind, and all-around the best md I have had the pleasure to meet. He is certainly the best md for getting you knees replaced. I am thoroughly pleased and blessed to have such a wonderful doctor. I want everyone to know that he really is the best if you are looking for orthopedic needs.
Bless Dr. Phillip Bell
Thanks

Dr. Phillip Bell did a total knee replacement surgery on me, August 8,2023. I highly recommend him to do your knee. He is an outstanding Doctor, caring and has you back to see him a few times before he turns you loose. His assistant, Catherine is awesome also. She picks up her phone and talksto you. Everyone at JOI was very pleasant. Dr. Bell is a top notch surgeon. Everyone says the scar (little to known) is beautiful. It's important to do your physical therapy.

At our first meeting with Dr. Bell, both my husband and I were very impressed with his professionalism. At each visit, Dr Bell gave detailed explanations and was never too rushed to answer any and all questions. I had my left total knee 6 weeks ago today and my deepest regret is that I did not get it done sooner! I am walking without pain and have accomplished all the goals set by Dr Bell and the physical therapy department. Baptist South and Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute are wonderful with the most friendly and helpful professionals I have ever met. I would recommend Dr Bell, JOI, and Baptist South to anyone who needs a knee replacement.

I just had my one year check up following knee replacement surgery. I was terrified to have the surgery based on stories heard from friends of the bad outcome and enduring pain following their surgeries; some for years later. Following my surgery I was pain free from my very first step and no pain throughout recovery. Dr. Phillip Bell was reassuring, empathetic, listens to your concerns, professional in all aspects of patient care. Highly recommend Dr. Phillip Bell, he is truly the very best orthopaedic surgeon. Thank you Dr. Bell and your awesome staff.

Dr. Bell was the surgeon for my partial knee replacement and the care and results have been beyond exceptional. I particularly appreciated the way he provided explanations and options and gave me the facts. I highly recommend Dr. Bell to anyone having an orthopedic problem.

Total Knee Replacement. August 29,2023
Dr. Bell is a highly professional, knowledgeable and personable orthopedic doctor. I was nervous after a not so good outcome of my hip replacement by another doctor, but Dr. Bell put me at ease at my first office visit and I felt very confident that he would give me the best possible outcome. Now, 6 weeks past surgery, not only do I have a fully functioning knee and leg, but he was able to relieve me of the pain and imbalance my earlier hip replacement had caused me to have when walking. For the first time in 2 years I can walk without a cane and without pain. He gave me back my mobility at age 84. Dr. Bell is not only a miracle worker but also a fantastic person. I highly recommend him and feel fortunate to know such a great doctor. He is the best!

I feel very fortunate to have found, Dr. Philip Bell. It was by chance that my wife was at a doctor’s appointment and talked with a man that had recently been a knee replacement patient of Dr. Bell. Noticing the scar on his knee she asked if he had a knee replacement and how amazing his scar looked. That’s when I learned about Dr Bell. What I thought was if a doctor is detail oriented enough to take the time to leave a minimal scar then he was the doctor for me.
My first visit was incredible. I was immediately impressed with him and how confident he was that he could give me the outcome I was hoping for. We went over everything that would take place leading up to my surgery day. I had my knee replaced on January 5,2021. Being after Covid it took a little while before I could be scheduled. They had to catch up to the back lot of patients. His staff kept me updated with scheduling and any questions I had regarding timetables and prep issues. The morning of my surgery, when Dr. Bell came in to see me pre-surgery he made sure that any questions I had were addressed. His professionalism throughout pre and post surgery was exemplary. Surgery went so smoothly as expected and then he was there ANYTHING I needed he addressed it. Thanks to his expertise my recovery went really well. I have maximum flexibility from the third week post op. I’m sure I’m not typical but that’s what his expertise in my surgery did for me. I just saw him for a 2 year checkup and everything is in great shape.
If there is someone looking for an incredible doctor for a knee replacement, he is at the top of the list. Dr. Phillip Bell is professional, experienced, knowledgeable, and so easy to talk to. Most importantly he cares about his patients. I recommend him to everybody I know. He’s the BEST.

Dr. Bell was amazing! He is kind, communicates everything needed and I highly recommend him. I am 54 and had a left hip replacement. I just left his office after my 6 week visit and am walking without pain in my hip! His assistant Kathryn responds quickly and is also so helpful! Don't wait to see him for hip issues!

Dr. Bell has been a blessing. He took such good care of my grandma and gave her instant relief right after surgery. Phillip bell was dedicated and gave her a quality of life again and she is not in pain anymore, she is comfortable now with her new hip replacement living her best life. I honestly can't recommend him enough. I actually feel bad for people who have unsuccessful hip replacements because all I want to say is, "I wish you could have gone to Dr. Bell. "

Outstanding staff, great surgical care, Highly recommend Dr Bell for orthopedic knee replacement surgery. J.o. I.is top notch.

I had planned to have my surgery in New York at a hospital I worked at with a known MD I worked with but we moved to Florida, gratefully, here I worked in a hospital that Dr Bell did his surgery’s I loved his patients outcomes they did really well, so I decided to have Dr Bell do my total knee replacement well I couldn’t be happier my knee is great pain free and I can resume all my activities I’m am so grateful to him, his skills are outstanding plus he’s the nice man professional and a great surgeon, I highly recommend him for all orthopedic surgeries!

My recovery from knee surgery performed on August 2 has been quick! My home PT stated he loves working with Dr. Bell's patients because we recover quickly. My scar is very minimal.

I’m 50 years old and I recently had to have both of my hips replaced due to a disease called Avascular necrosis.
Both surgeries were performed by Dr. Bell, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the moment I met him, I was impressed by his professionalism and great bedside manner.
He took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, answering all my questions and alleviating any concerns I had.
I must also mention Dr. Bell's incredible assistant, Catherine. She is awesome, always available to assist and support me. Her dedication and efficiency in coordinating my appointments, answering my calls, and addressing my post-surgery concerns were remarkable. Together, Dr. Bell and Catherine make an outstanding team.

Thanks to Dr.bell and his incredible team, I am now enjoying a pain-free and more active life with my family. I highly recommend Dr. Bell and his team to anyone in need of orthopedic care. They are a true testament to excellence in healthcare.

We met Dr Bell when he happened to be the on-call orthopedic surgeon when my husband broke his fibula. At that same time I knew I was going to need a knee replacement soon so we made one of my husband’s follow-up appointments into a “two-fer” and I scheduled my procedure for several months out, when we figured my husband would be walking comfortably again. We both found him to be knowledgeable, skilled, and compassionate. My knee replacement recovery was amazingly uneventful. I was surprised that I had no pain and could walk near-normally the next day, although I did keep my walker close by. (I’m not crazy and I knew I didn’t want to fall!) I did the physical therapy and returned to my water aerobics classes at 6 weeks. I’m now a year out and would highly recommend Dr. Bell.

My left hip had seriously deteriorated and i was sent to Dr. Bell. He made me feel at ease right away with his professional yet very pleasant demeanor. My surgery went well and I healed quickly. Dr. Bell is a great surgeon.
