Dr. Wells was amazing!! He was so kind, compassionate & caring. I felt like he went above & beyond in our appointment & not rushed at all. His bedside manner is outstanding.

Any additional questions I had he answered & took his time so I didn't feel rushed or dismissed. He came across as friendly & competent. I knew I was in good hands.

I had an appointment to see the first available doctor. It happened to be Dr. Wells. While in the office, I became overwhelmed with pain. The entire staff was helpful and caring. Talked to me about the issue and wheeled me down to the ER. I did not actually see Dr. Wells, since my pain came on before we got Into a room, but he seemed attentive and capable.
