BEWARE that this doctor charges for Diabetic Eye exam that is 100% covered by insurance. The doctor will perform unnecessary tests against your will and you find yourself at the paying end. Billing told me this was for Refraction Test that I never authorized and was NOT done in the first place. As I never heard of it, went on looking on the net. And found out that this test uses a specialized equipment that WAS NOT used during my visit, hence I was billed for a test that was never done in the first place. All complaints fall on deaf ears, and phone calls / emails / faxes are never returned. Furthermore, doctor did NOT utter a word about importance of wearing sunglasses / blue light blockers, while delivering a breaking news about cataract. Not saying what type of a cataract or the extent of damage. Apparently he is mostly interested in surgery, I can only guess why. I wish that doctor cut down on singing and talking about non-related issues. Last year he was running pictures of his kids on a large screen in the hallway; he addressed his kids as LITTER. This struck me as odd; very disrespectful. During my last visit, Dr Bello offered an elective surgery but refused to explain or answer questions. I have been seeing Dr Bello for years, but this incident marked my last going there. NEVER AGAIN and do NOT recommend this doctor.

Dr Bello was great, but the secretary Donna was very unprofessional. Told me I could get both glasses and contacts in a calendar year. I have Keratoconus so I needed hard contact lenses, which she knew because she placed the order. Then later said I could only get one (after purchasing glasses) on my insurance and tried to get me to pay out of pocket for the contacts. Very unprofessional!!.

I've been seeing Dr. Bello for several years. I needed cataract surgery after retina surgery. This made it a more difficult procedure. He did a wonderful job. My vision has improved tremendously. He is always very thorough, and answers all of my questions. Dr. Bello is always cheerful. You can really tell that he loves what he does. I love that he is often singing! It's wonderful to see such a happy friendly person. The world would be a much more cheerful place if more people followed his lead!
