Dr.John Bello has been my ophthalmologist for 10 years. As a physician myself, I am acutely aware of other doctor's agendas, motivations, and priorities. Let me say this: without a doubt, Dr. Bello is the most compassionate, empathetic, caring physician I have ever had the privilege of knowing. You never,ever get the feeling you are being rushed or hurried through the office. This is a rarity in the way medicine is practiced during these changing times. Dr Bello talks to you, not at you. As a patient, I get the feeling he speaks to me as a family member. He genuinely cares about the whole person, and always takes that into consideration when making very sensitive, important decisions regarding the care of your eyes. I have sent several members of my family to see Dr Bello. He has performed multiple surgical procedures on them and all have been totally satisfied with their results. Dr Bello is the "real deal" and I would 100 recommend him to anyone who is looking for outstanding ophthalmologic care
