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.

The doctor was very caring and knowledgeable of my medical situation.

Dr. Wells was one of the nicest doctors I've ever met. When I walked into the appointment, he asked how I was and I said very nervous. He immediately acknowledged my feelings, which was very disarming and welcoming. He listened intently to my goals and provided me with an understanding of my medical condition so I could make an appropriate choice for myself. I highly recommend this doctor to anyone in need of a consult or surgery.

My appt with Dr. Wells went perfectly. Personable and professional care. He noticed something unusual in my belly button area and asked if okay to remove something. Approval was given. Using surgical scissors, Dr. Wells removed a 1-in surgical gauze patch that was deep inside my belly button. He stated he would not charge me extra for doing that. I was completely unaware that this gauze had been in my belly button from a previous hernia surgery from over 10-yrs ago. I truly appreciated Dr. Wells taking that extra time and effort to remove that patch last week.

Dr. Wells was great. Knowledge, professional and humorous! My only suggestion would be to have the front office person go through some customer service training. He didn't acknowledge me when I walked in, seemed disturbed to have to check me in and was generally unpleasant. This was my first appointment with this provider and it didn't start out very pleasant. Thank goodness Dr. Wells was really great!!! The surgery scheduler was awesome as well.
