Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Wellmon is great!

I began going to Dr Wellmon back when I was 18 years old, (40’s now) and when I moved unfortunately I had to switch practices. I highly recommend him and his staff, they are amazing good caring people who always take the time to spend talking with you and make you feel like you’re a valued client and not just a number. I still ask for his opinion on my medical history because I know I can count on him to give me the truth and not steer me in the wrong direction.

Has to be the rudest office staff I have ever encountered. They seem to enjoy making things as difficult as possible for the patient. Check your bills carefully and follow up on any tests. I have had to deal with more than one billing error and lost lab result. Getting them to correct the matter is like pushing an elephant uphill. The care provided by the PA's is professional IF you can handle dealing with the angry troll at the front desk

Ehh the office staff made my wife cry. Not sure why they are so terribly rude. Always left with an "ehh" feeling about the dr and, more specifically, the staff. If your insurance accepts another place, I'd go there. BTW they don't pick up the phone then yell at you for going to urgent care :(

When I called to make an appointment, woman who took the call was pretty rude -- actually started talking to someone else in the office during the call without first excusing herself, for example. She would not give me any information. Instead gave me a non-existent website (DNS has no record of the URL) to consult first. Yes, she did spell the URL for me, and yes, I have used google to find in just in case we miscommunicated, but no luck. I guess this doctor must be losing all new patients.
