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.

Dr. John Wells Recommendation
We have had Dr. Wells as our gastroenterologist now for over 30 years. We have always found him to be excellent! He is very competent, knowledgeable, easy to discuss an issue with, organized, and efficient. His staff at his office and at his North Valley Endoscopy Center are all wonderful! They are knowledgeable, organized, efficient and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Wells and his staff without any reservations.

I have seen Dr, Wells over a period of many years. He has always been unfailingly kind, able to answer questions, ask for relevant information, discuss options, and allows time for consideration. I have had routine procedures; they have always gone very well. The office calls the day after to learn if there were any issues.

Caring Doctor
I went to Dr Wells with an undiagnosed issue and I was very nervous. Dr. Wells took time to go through all possibilities and I left feeling more confident that all will turn out well. He was very comforting and professional. I definitely recommend him highly.
