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. Wells has performed several procedures injections, nerve ablation etc. to reduce pain in my back caused by stenosis. I have been pleased with the results. He and his team, especially P.A. Mark Udy, have been very helpful. I recommend Desert Pain heartily.

I had a kyphoplasty procedure along with several other procedures from Dr. Wells over the past 5 years and have found him along with his staff to be caring and excellent in every aspect of their work. They have been so helpful with my pain and injuries. I would refer their office to any of my friends in need of pain management.

The only help you get here is when you get sent elsewhere. They simply fleece you for your insurance and no real care is given. Docotor Brian Jorgensen on staff is a JOKE: This guy should in NO WAY be involved directly with humans. He was put in charge of me for some reason after a while. I told him that I wanted another doctor since he was a MORON. We continued our visit, he is a moron. Scheduled a visit with a REAL Doctor and let him know once again that he was a MORON. It describes hi
