Dr. Bello

Meet Erlaine F. Bello, MD, MS, FACP

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Testimonials from patients of Erlaine F. Bello, MD, MS, FACP

Five Alive!

from Dori in HI • March 2, 2018
Five Alive!
Last January 2017, Dr. B told me she was training for the Honolulu Marathon to support one of her patients, who was attempting her 2nd run at it. She suggested that I try doing the marathon too. I couldnt even wrap my head around a marathon back then. Bold changes, however, require bold measures I guess. I needed to lose weight and get my lab numbers under control. A life Read more...

Thank you Dr Bello!!

from Veronica in HI • March 2, 2018
Dr Bello came into our lives at a time when we felt abandoned by our previous PCP. She has gone above and beyond our highest expectations of medical care. She has been available to us beyond her regular hours and made sure we got to the emergency room quickly when we were exposed to the flu virus and she was concerned we might have gotten pnuemonia. Thank you Dr Bello!!

Dr. Erlaine Bello has been my primary physician for over twenty years

from Cynthia in HI • March 3, 2018
Dr. Erlaine Bello has been my primary physician for over twenty years, and during this period my outlook on this strict doctor-patient relationship has grown from intimidation to friendship and trust. She is not one who dwells on nonsensical bits and pieces of my well being, which I refer to as pampering; she is a straight arrow. However, when the chips are down her background, intelligence Read more...

from Shelton in HI • February 26, 2018
Dr. Bello and her staff have always responded in a timely, helpful and courteous manner to my requests for medication and appointments. She allows me to email her, text her or call her anytime or any day if I have any concerns through her mobile phone. She even called a specialist to expedite an appointment when I was unable to obtain an earlier date.
