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 Wells was professional and explained my condition completely.

The best of the best
Dr. Wells reviewed a CT scan of the AAA stent he put in almost eight years ago. It is holding up very well. He closely monitors how it’s doing once a year and it reassures me that I’m not in any danger!

The doctor was nice and explained every detail of the procedure. It did not feel good, but the reassurance the doctor gave with his explanations put me at ease.

Pleasant Doctor Visit
I like Dr Wells direct and honest approach. I go every 6 months and always easy to speak with. And, my BP doesn’t increase from anxiety as in some of my doctor appointments.

Dr Wells is an excellent doctor.
Everyone at this practice is excellent at their duties and it is the best teamwork I have ever seen in all the practices that I have seen. I am 80 years old and have had a lot of experience with many different medical groups. This group is the best I have ever had any experience with in my life.

Just what the Dr Ordered
My follow up visit was just what I needed. Easy location and the staff were overly friendly. Dr Wells provided me with music to my ears. He also set up a timeline to watch my condition as time goes by.
