Dr Wells is not my regular Physician in this practice. My physician didn't have an opening in his schedule for 10 days after I needed to have someone look at an injury I received on my leg while traveling. The Injury looked very angry, and I thought it might be infected. The person I spoke with suggested I could see Dr Wells the next day. Dr. Wells was through and explained what he thought was going on with my leg. He asked If I had a tetanus shot, checked my records then told me It was good for two more years. He prescribed a topical antibiotic cream. I was very satisfied with Dr. Wells care.

Providence Patient
You picked a good time for this survey - everything went flawlessly. I needed to talk to the doc about foot pain: minimal wait on the phone to schedule, saw the doc in a week, minimal wait in the lobby and exam room, questions answered, referral made to foot doc and for x-ray, did a same-day walk-in for the x-ray and waited about 20 mins (very acceptable), pictures took about 10 mins - tech was very pleasant, went home. Got the results of the x-rays from the radiologist in MyChart in a few hours (incredible!). And, the next day I got a text from the foot doc office requesting I call for an appt. Good work!

Dr. Wells has been my primary for probably over 30 years and I couldn't ask for better care. He's the kind of doctor everyone should have.
