My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

The triple aim for all my patients is longevity balanced with high functionality and contentment. For some, safety may need to be added to the equation. While these goals may sound simple, none of them can be achieved without good health. What you need to do to stay healthy may depend on family history and the lifestyle choices you make. My job is to help you assess your individual risk of chronic diseases and help you to avoid them or identify them for early intervention. I will help you navigate through an increasingly complex healthcare system. I am your coach to help you maintain the physical capacity to work, play and travel for as long as you can. We will work through your unique health and life challenges and celebrate them together. I want you to be the best you for your friends, your family and yourself.

I have a sub-specialty in Infectious Diseases and my primary care patients benefit from integrated infectious disease care. I also provide travel health counseling and immunizations. I will care for you and be your attending physician if you ever require admission to the Queen's Medical Center.

Best Primary Care Physician I could ask for

I became Dr. Bello's patient sometime in the early to mid-1990s, and have never regretted it--except when she lectures me for being remiss about taking care of myself, which is always a sobering, and often embarassing, experience. My routine exams are considerably more thorough than the regular exams I hear my friends and relatives describe when talking about their own physicians. She… See more

Thank you, Dr. Bello
from Julienne in HI March 10, 2020 for Erlaine F. Bello, MD, MS, FACP

This story happened well before Dr. Bello became part of MD-VIP, but it shows her commitment to her patients and is what makes her a good representative of MD-VIP and efforts to improve the doctor-patient relationship and care. I had collapsed and blacked out twice at home. I felt fine the next day. I didn't hit my head and didn't have any bumps on it either, but I was urged by… See more
