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.

He insisted I just had arthritis in both knees I begged him literally, on second visit, I said something s wrong I want an MRI I found him dismissive and arrogant and in a rush Finally, I got an MRI (he ordered it) complete tear of meniscus, grade 3, both knees He called that afternoon and told me , asked when to set up surgery, I replied “you are arrogant, wouldn’t listen to me, I would not let you cut me with a butter knife” Moved on to an excellent orthopedic surgeon in Madison, Dr Lemon or, Dr Anderson is great too! Both top notch orthopedic surgeons

Dr. Wells is very professional, compassionate and understanding. He has given me cortisone injections and they do not hurt and I have had 3 previous surgeries with excellent results. He is an excellent surgeon!!

I have had 2 total knee replacement surgery’s performed by DR Wells. I have followed all directions and participated in Therapies. My surgery’s have gone extremely well. I have not had blood clots or any infection. DR Wells staff are very good at their job. They are very attentive and follow up with all concerns in a timely manner. I have had excellent care.

I did not know Dr. Wells before my hip replacement surgery due to arthritis. I choose him because of his last name. Later as I was telling others about whom I had chosen, I got nothing but positive reactions. During our pre-op appointments, he always seemed quiet yet confident. My surgery could not have gone any better as has my recovery. I am happy I had my surgery and that all the pain and issues of the previous months are just a memory. My prayer is to be able to resume my active life soon.

I am very happy with my recent right and left knee arthroplasties. Dr. Wells performed them approximately 4 months apart. I felt I was being cared for by a highly competent surgeon. He listened to any/all concerns, answered questions and personally looked into my concerns. I would highly recommend Dr. Timothy Wells to anyone seeking an orthopedic surgeon.
