| 5.0 | May 1, 2025 | Dr. Wells is not only an amazing doctor.. He is a wonderful human. He is simply the best and I am grateful he is my hip doctor. | |
| 5.0 | May 1, 2025 | My experience with Dr. Wells was excellent. I couldn't have asked for any better care or treatment. He greeted me by my name and shook my hand. My daughter was with me and he addressed her also. I was anxious over the appointment because I was concerned that I might need surgery. Without me asking he said I would not need surgery. He was very thorough in the questions he asked and the exam that he performed. I felt so comfortable at ease. Then he had paper copies of my X-rays that were easy to see. He was in the middle of my daughter and I and went over the x-rays with us. He listened and asked questions and gave explanations that were easy to understand but not talking down to us. He seemed genuinely interested in my condition even though I was not going to need surgery. He recommended PT which I think will help and another doctor to see about by spine. He was very professional and knowledgable but also made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I didn't even notice him taking notes because he was so interactive with me. How refreshing to have a doctor talk to me and listen and not just looking at a computer and checking boxes. My daughter and I were extremely impressed and pleased. I would not hesitate a minute to recommend him. I know he is extremely intelligent but thank God he has the bedside manner to go with it. | |
