My daughter had been complaining about ear pain. Dr wells carefully checked her, found a build up of ear wax, and assigned one of her team members to flush it out. She came back to reexamine her showing the upmost care.

We went over medications and previous diagnosis. She helped me find a pituitary adenoma that was presenting with symptoms that didn’t make sense. Her diligence and hard work helped me find my diagnosis and lead me to finding a better way to manage my symptoms and maybe even fix the issue
