Had a fellow meet with me before Dr. Was helpful. Both fellow and Dr were very collaborative and willing and to consider data and test results I and done separately to help inform my care.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/4/2025
Extremely knowledgable, knew right away where to refer and went above and beyond to organize my medical care! In the 100+ doctors I've seen over 5 years, I was shocked at a doctor genuinely wanting to manage their patient's conditions. Doctors I no longer see wouldnt refered me, didnt have this vast network of doctors to work with, and these past doctors wouldnt even listen with their next steps being, 'go to the er' and 'go to the er If It gets worse'. Dr. Wells takes an extremely collaborative aproach and he was just an amazing physician who should be proud of the help he's giving to patients. Again, above and beyond. He single-handedly raised my standards for how medical care works as a complex patient. I feel like I wasnt just thrown a pill or an excuse, I was told 'hang on, keep going, we got you... Here's the plan.' And even if that process takes months to yeild answers, to see progress In referals and possible diagnostics is very uplifting.

I couldn't be more pleased with my visit. Dr. Wells answered all of my questions and more. He listened and truly wanted to hear from me about my heart attack even though he had read my chart. He went above and beyond since my local cardiologist hadn't sent the images and they arrived during my visit that he went to look at them instead of later on. I left feeling relieved that he wants to continue looking into my heart attack and if there is more.
