Patient Reviews
May 02, 2023
Going to Dr. Wells is different: he runs a one-man operation so he answers the phone, schedules you, greets you at the office, does your vitals and bloodwork, etc. He explained it as "country doctor" approach and I appreciated this personalized care so much. I have had an abnormal result in my bloodwork for years, and no doctor has been able to tell me why. Dr. Wells studied my recent lab reports and had an explanation, which helped me finally understand the abnormality and feel reassured that it is nothing dangerous. In the current landscape of factory-like medicine, going to Dr. Wells was an exceedingly positive experience.
