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.

Wonderful and highly knowledgeable
I am now an adult, but saw Dr. Wells for a second opinion around 2010 for an ankle injury that was unexplainable by a prior orthopedist. During the visit, he noted that I had hypermobility after performing the Beighton scale, and mentioned that we should keep an eye on it going forward. This small bit of information became very important as I aged and was eventually diagnosed with hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and have undergone several joint repair surgeries. Dr. Wells suspicions were correct, and I’m still impressed by his knowledge of connective tissue disorders in a time before EDS was well-known and publicized. I would highly recommend him!

Amazing doctor!
Dr. Wells Was more than just what the doctor ordered! He was amazing with my daughter who is very scared. He engaged with her, made her feel comfortable and laughed with all of us. He also provided excellent evidence-based care. I would recommend him highly to anyone! Truly amazing, there aren’t many like him out there. A true gem.

My eight year son is a patient of Dr Wells he just had surgery with him. We are very happy with Dr Wells and his whole team. They all treated us very well and Dr Wells took the time to explain everything in details with us. He is a very caring doctor and we are very pleased. I would send all my family and friends to him if they ever need his type of services.

Great Doctor in Philadelphia, PA – Nov 08, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Wells?
Dr. Wells made my family and I comfortable enough that we trusted his decisions and advice. Very warm-hearted, caring physician with wonderful bedside manners. My son is an only child, so one can only imagine the anxiety of major surgery. But I was pleasantly surprised with the care my child received. Brilliant doctor!
