“If not for Dr. Bell, my career would have ended after my injury.  He guided me through surgery, made my recovery as short as possible and helped me reach even bigger heights. I won silver at the 2004 Olympic Games and my European record time still stands unbeaten.”

- Francis Obikwelu, Olympic Silver Medalist, 100 Metres
