Dr Wells assessed my symptoms quickly and effectively. She is my primary care provider so I was assured that she would check my previous symptoms, medications and past illnesses. She chose a course of treatment that was least intrusive and she honored my wishes for minimal prescription Treatments. She is kind, compassionate and extremely competent
