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.

Apathy Personified
Dr Wells disregarded any patient input and patients knowledge of reocurring situation although the end diagnosis was evident to both parties preprocedure. His obstinacy resulted in an extended recovery period , which included sutures separating after 2 days instead of the required 10-14 days and massive bruising lastly 4-6 weeks. Upon return to his office for suture repair his indiffernce to his procedure misques were passed off to the PA to address where as the solution for the patient was relying upon their own experience of wound closure, thus leaving their office without further attempts of receving any accountability by Dr Wells.

Very professional office. Efficient & comfortable. My wife had quite a large excision of skin cancer on her face and Dr. Wells did a beautiful job closing the wound with a nice cosmetic outcome.

MOHs surgery for Basal Cell went great, with great preparation for the plastic surgeon to do repair (very involved damage which required the plastic surgeon). Dr Wells was awesome explaining everything as we went and did his DAMN BEST to alleviate any pain and discomfort. Great DR!

Dr. Wells is charismatic and a diligent dermatologist/surgeon. His nurse practitioner, Jeanine Ishak, does my body scans and Dr. Wells performs surgical procedures as necessary. He immediately puts me at ease and explains procedures clearly. His follow-ups to surgery are exemplary. It is a pleasure to recommend Dr. Wells to others. Great bedside manner and professional always.

For the past couple of years I've been seeing Dr. Wells to treat my skin conditions (Basal Cell Carcinoma) as a result of too much fun in the sun without enough sun screen on. He has done Mohs surgery on me in about 8 (eight) different areas and all have gone well. Dr. Wells and his staff are fabulous!
