I began referring patients to Dr. Kimberley Bell in 2006, and she immediately made me look good. My patients let me know about the fantastic physical therapist who was visiting them. Over the years, I saw why she is so successful: she has a very high degree of dedication and contagious enthusiasm. I have met very few who are as driven to learn and improve as Dr. Bell.

Kim Bell, is a physical therapist who has established herself as a senior vestibular therapist in Southern California and is presently consulting with patients internationally. We have been referring patients back and forth for several years now, since 2006. I have had a lot of great success referring patients to Kim.

It was about 5 months into vertigo when I met Kim.

Their advice included removing a waxy build-up in my right ear, which also happened to be the… Read more “Suzen L.”

Before Dr. Bell treated me for vertigo, I had every possible examination (including a CT scan) to detect the exact type of vertigo I was suffering from and to rule out other issues.  My vision, hearing and vertigo exams revealed two types of vertigo: Benign Positional Vertigo and a vestibular weakness. My doctors had some… Read more “Deb S.”

After suffering from Vertigo and Migraines for over 12 years seeing Neurologists, Ear nose and throat specialists and taking advice from anyone to get relief, I was finally introduced to Kim. I was nervous as I had no idea what to expect, so we spent the first hour chatting about my history. I had notes and records from every doctor I’d seen over the years. She is the most caring, compassionate person I have ever met. She suffers from Vertigo and Migraines and is extremely patient and kind. I am so grateful to have her in my life; she is such an incredible person. You will appreciate what a wonderful person Kim is. All the staff at Kenny Sheppard Spine and Sports Clinic where Dan Selstad works tell me that their patients rave about Kim in the same way I have.

Before I met Dr. Kimberley Bell, PT I had been suffering for many years with vertigo. I have no idea why – I would suddenly just start spinning.

[Dr. Bell] has changed my life! NOBODY had ever even CARED about my vertigo before, let alone tell me they could help me. And add to that – she came to my house to help me. Anytime I hear of someone suffering from vertigo, I immediately give them Dr. Bell’s number. Read more “Dawn B.”

All of the sudden, the world went sideways! It was so bad I couldn’t stand up to use the restroom. I had to crawl there – like literally crawl there – and even that was a struggle. I called Kim. The only reason that I probably didn’t go to the ER was because Kim called me right back and I trusted her. I knew she could help. I felt truly supported. It’s pretty amazing that I didn’t miss a single day of work! My sister asked me ‘What would you have done if you didn’t know Kim?’ and I was like “I don’t know.
