Douglas Bell DO | Kaiser Permanente

I really do not know if Dr. Bell is good or not. When I transfered from Swedish Medical in Seattle due to a move, I wanted to have my annual blood screenings done. A wellness visit doesn't cover the blood work, and the physical would be charged because the clinic had no history on me. Without knowing anything about me, my current physical state and medical history, Dr. Bell does send mailing to suggest tests so that together "We can enjoy my best health" Seems he wants to run up lab bills without actually providing medical care. The last year I was ill, and needed to see the doctor, the clinic was closed due to Covid and not seeing patients who were sick. Not sure why else you have a doctor if not to get help when needed. I will be glad to switch to Medicare in January and hopefully

Went in for an annual check up that should have been part of my no charge preventative care, and Dr. Bell asked me if I had any questions. I said I tend to have anxiety problems and is there anything I should know? He said we could do lab work. I thanked him but declined the lab at the moment. I was charged $230 for a wellness visit instead of my preventative care visit. The dr. changed the visit to a wellness visit for spending 5 minutes answering 1 question. Never will I go back to him.

He should have his license revoked! He doesn't care about his patients. I would give him a zero if I could
