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.

If I could give less starts I would. I went to get my annual women's wellness appointment with Dr. Wells. She first took me into her office and discussed my medical history. While I was telling her my medical history I explained how I was having issues with my tummy. She sent me a referral. 4 Months later I get a text from her office saying I have a bill for $100. That was for the Gastro consultation. Women's wellness is typically covered under insurance so being charged $100 dollars because she told me to go to another doctor is insane.

Please do not go to this doctor for anything other than a pap smear or annual exam. She performed surgery on me and ruined my life. I sustained a rectal and bladder prolapse from a partial hysterectomy. My small bowel was also fused to my pelvic wall and I have suffered from pelvic floor dysfunction and large ovarian cysts ever since. I also began having significant menopausal symptoms. When I brought this to her attention she prescribed birth control and said to see a GI doctor. Also, she never warned me about pelvic floor dysfunction nor volunteered this information post surgery despite my many complaints regarding bowel issues. I have also sustained nerve damage that impact my bowel movements every day. Be warned, I went to her with fibroids and there were other options to treat them besides a hysterectomy.

I don’t ever feel rushed with Dr Wells. She listens and responds to her emails in a timely manner. I highly recommend her.

I've been seeing Dr. Wells for several years and she is the best of the best. Very thorough and truly cares about her patients. My 1 star review is for the rude receptionist with a terrible attitude. What a sad, pathetic human being. She needs to be fired ASAP.
