Dr. Kim Bell, PT, DPT practices in Encinitas, CA, exclusively helping patients with dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems. She is the Vertigo Detective! Dr. Bell’s book "Navigating the Health Care System as a Dizzy Patient" for patients seeking relief from dizziness or vertigo but unable to work with her is now on Amazon: amzn.to/3CtKkRt In 2023, Dr. Bell achieved Certification in Clinical Vestibular Competency from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Her UCSD Stein Public Lectures have over 3 million views. Dr. Bell has now treated or consulted on thousands of cases of patients with dizziness and vertigo, many of whom travel to San Diego from around the world. Her unique model of care uses ongoing root cause analysis and evidence-based treatments powered by her empathy, understanding, and compassion. Dr. Bell earned her Masters and Doctorate degrees in Physical Therapy from the University of Maryland, Baltimore; a licensed physical therapist since 2002. After suffering with vertigo herself for many years and going from doctor to doctor with no answers or relief, Dr. Bell has realized how limited the resources are for people with these problems. Patients with dizziness and vertigo are often misunderstood, and therefore mismanaged. She has dedicated her career to developing a unique and detailed methodology, called The Bell Method®, for assessing and treating dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance in patients of all ages, as well as older adult fall prevention, incontinence, and foot neuropathy. The Bell Method® integrates root cause analysis and treatment of symptoms across all body systems, advanced knowledge of vestibular (inner ear) rehabilitation, evidence-based geriatric fall prevention strategies, and compassionate communication. Dr. Bell's method is comprehensive and focused on outcomes to help you get your life back!
