Dr Bellum is such a kind caring individual, it is so obvious how much he cares about his patients. My wife also is his patient who is going through some serious health challenges and during my visit Dr Bellum asked her how she was doing. It was so evident that he genuinely was concerned about her even tho she was not his patient that day. It is dedicated doctors like him that we have remained with Endeavor for all these years
