My first visit with Dr. Bell was over two years ago. He was very thorough about what was going to happen with my right knee replacement. All went smoothly, absolutely no problems with the surgery and rehabilitation. Now over two years later I just completed my second knee replacement with Dr.Bell on my left knee. Just like the surgery before all went well, rehabilitation also went well. Now I am no longer bow legged, knees are straight and there is no pain. I highly recommend Dr. Bell. -

Just completed one year since a full left knee replacement. Dr. Bell was terrific throughout the pre-surgery and post-surgery experience. Had a difficult time beginning home physical therapy due to an unexpected complication (partial clot in lower left leg). Sent photos of my very swollen knee and Dr. Bell immediately ordered me into the hospital for scans and testing. Hospital team located the partial clot and treated me accordingly. Very thankful that Dr. Bell knew exactly what to do! Began full-regimen physical therapy with Courtney at STARS Rehab in St. Augustine Beach (she’s wonderful!) and have now had a full recovery and the knee works beautifully - smooth operation and pain-free after many years of discomfort pre-surgery. I’m speed-walking on a treadmill 4 days per week and feel great! Many thanks to Dr. Bell, his Admin Catherine and the entire team at JOI and the Baptist Medical Center! -

If knee replacement is in your future, you won't find a better surgeon than Dr. Phillip Bell. From my initial office visit he was open and calming with explaining everything that would entail making my daily life better by having first my knee replacement. It was such a great experience as surgery goes with minimal pain and quick recovery. I "enjoyed" that experience last year so much that I had my left knee replacement a little more than a year later in August. Another good surgery experience as before. Both of these surgeries and my recovery were the best thanks to Dr. Bell's expertise and bedside manner.
Don't wait or worry about your knees, let Dr. Bell perform his magic and make life good again! -

Left knee replacement. 3 months later, full range of motion, no more pain, scar is barely noticeable. Great doctor and staff. Highly recommend!
Update after 12 month, xray shows all good. I'm back to hiking in mts, etc. Excellent results, thank you Dr. Bell! -

Right Hip Replacement
I have the utmost respect for Dr Bell as an orthopedic surgeon. From my first consultation through post op total right hip replacement Dr Bell has always taken the time to explain, share all info and asks if any questions or concerns during every visit. Dr Bell is compassionate and understanding in the patient’s medical situation and well being. I highly recommended Dr Bell. -

Dr Bell is a wonderful caring doctor that truly listens to your concerns. I went to him for a consultation on my right hip from pain I had been in for 2 years. He determined that I was a good candidate for hip replacement surgery. I was nervous about having surgery, but I am so glad I made the decision to to go ahead with it. I had home health rehab for several weeks and its now been 6 weeks post op and I feel great. Still going to Physical Therapy which I feel has really helped my healing go smoothly.
I had another hip replacement and 2 knee replacements at another facility, but I am so happy I found Dr Bell. He was so reassuring, considerate and professional. I was able to book my surgery within 2 weeks because I had already received my medical clearance.
He met me right before the surgery and said to me “Don’t worry, I will take good care of you!!” And he did!! I was totally confident in his ability!’
After one hour of surgery, was up walking the halls with my walker. The next morning, I was walking the whole floor with my walker. I went home that day and started physical therapy the next day.
I wouldn’t recommend this, but within 4 days I was Christmas shopping at Kohls and Walmart with my walker. It felt really good but I know I over did it!
Within 3 weeks, I was driving and had no pain in my hip and was walking without a limp.
I went back to see him after 2 weeks and then again at 6 weeks!! I was pain free!! I could walk without a walker after 2 weeks and without a limp after 4 weeks!!
Dr. Bell is truly a gifted surgeon and I would highly recommend him. He is a 5 Star Surgeon!!🌟
