Some issues Dr. Richard B. Bell, MD, DDS, FACP can help you with:

Biopsy

A biopsy is a procedure performed to remove a small sample of cells for testing. The cells are examined in a laboratory to check for disease, or sometimes to see how badly a known disease is affecting them. Biopsy can be performed on any part of the body.

Although biopsy is most often associated with cancer, it can also be used to check for other diseases, such as infections. A biopsy sample can be scraped, cut, collected with a needle, taken with a machine that punches out a tiny piece, or removed with the tiny tools in an endoscope.

In most cases, a biopsy is a simple outpatient procedure. Depending on the procedure, patients may need to stop taking certain medications beforehand, such as blood thinners. It is important for patients to tell doctors if they are pregnant, as certain biopsies require the use of x-rays to guide the needle to the right location. There is usually very little pain associated with a biopsy. Patients will have to wait a few days to hear the results.

Robotic Surgery

Robotic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery, using a tiny opening to get inside the body instead of making a large cut. It uses small tools attached to a thin robotic arm, which is controlled by the surgeon. Robotic surgery may be referred to by the specific kind of robot that is used. The most advanced robot currently in use is called the da Vinci, and surgery using it is sometimes called da Vinci surgery.

There are many benefits to robotic surgery, both for the patient and the surgeon. Robotic surgery allows for more precise movements and increased control during very delicate surgical procedures. This makes performing surgery accurately much easier for surgeons and reduces fatigue. The smaller 'hand' of the robot can enter the body via a much smaller opening, which reduces the risk of infection and scarring and leads to a faster recovery. The robotic hands also contain tiny moveable cameras among their tools, giving surgeons a much closer view of the procedure than would be possible with traditional surgery.

Dr. Bell was my surgeon for very serious tongue cancer, and I can't say enough good things about him! He literally saved my life, and continues to be involved at a very high level in my treatment and care. I'm in his research study.

Dr. Bell is an amazing provider--I'm grateful for him every day--having cancer is no fun and can be a very scary and stressful to deal with--he did an amazing job with my surgery! He is very caring and compassionate.

Dr Bell and all the people who I interacted during this process were fantastic and would give them the highest recommendation. This also includes the people during the surgical portion of the treatment.

I was surprised that Dr. Bell wanted to see me almost 3 years after my surgery. But I have to say every Doctor and Nurse have been amazing! You have a great team at Providence.
