Dr. Bell is also a 1987 graduate of the four-year residency training program sponsored by Harlem Hospital Center.

From 1987 to 1994, Dr. Bell served as an attending physician and associate professor at Montefiore Medical Center and North Central Bronx Hospital, which were both affiliated with The Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She then provided gynecologic services at Lincoln Women’s Services from 1995 to 1997 while also providing obstetrical as well as gynecological services at Riker’s Island Correctional Facility through the auspices of Montefiore Medical Center from 1995 to 1997 then St. Barnabas Hospital Center from 1997 to 1999.

The descendent of teachers, Dr. Bell has always believed that it is just as important to educate women as to treat them. To formalize this belief, she created her own FemHealth Gynecology Website in October 1999 and moderated WebMD’s Irregular Bleeding Message Board from November 1999 to May 2001.

In February 2001, Dr. Bell also published GUERILLA GYNECOLOGY, a book for the woman left understandably dazed-and-confused in the wake of a "Hit-and-Run" gynecologist" after a typical 15-minute managed care visit. This book explained the gynecological topics she encountered over and over again during her 16 years of practice and can be ordered by clicking HERE.

Dr. Bell is currently working on a new book that details the differences between menopause in African-American women compared to Caucasian-American women. This should hopefully be published by Simon and Schuster in 2003.

Dr. Bell returned to clinical practice August 2002 by opening FemHealth Gynecology. There, she is putting her expert training and extensive experience in working with women from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds to use once again.
