Dr. Bello is a fantastic doctor I wish they all could be like him. He took time to explain everything and then followed up with me. Highly recommend
Oops - just realized I'm on the wrong page - This review is for his brother, John! So read on if you want to know about JOHN BELLO. First of all, I think Dr. Bello is a great surgeon. The problem with him is communication and aftercare. He did my colon surgery 3 years ago and did a very good job. However, I became infected after the fact - I could tell, because I was feverish and in pain, and he seemed to be angry at me for taking my temperature. Also, the post-op instructions were given to me by him, orally, while I was still in the hospital on I assume large doses of pain medication. As for diet, I was told to look it up on the web. What I'm saying is, WRITE THAT STUFF DOWN for your patients. Or hire someone to write it down for you. I just had my port removed by him yesterday, and was reminded of his poor bedside manner again - he does not like to be given questions or unsolicited information from his patients, or if he does, he doesn't react to them well. I appreciate that surgeons probably need to separate from their patients, emotionally, and that is fine, but get a good support staff to make up for your deficits in that department. It is important.
I went to Dr. John Bello on the recommendation of my GP. He was very friendly, did a thorough exam and we had a great discussion. He determined that I did not need surgery. I would recommend this doctor without hesitation. His brother Joe Bello did an emergency Apendectomy on me about 8 years ago and he was great as well.
