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.

Wonderful
Dr Wells is a wonderful doctor. He diagnosed me and has helped me and changed my life. I realize he is not a therapist or counselor. He always shows care and respect. He always continues from our last visit- being prepared and knowledgeable about my diagnosis.

Amazingly caring doctor!
Dr. Wells is incredibly dedicated and caring, and has helped me for many years. I don't think I could have come this far with a different psychiatrist. He and Linda make a great team.

Not so good. Offers no counseling, nor any referral to counseling, not interested in hearing my problems. Only interested in prescribing drugs. Office staff rarely in office, slow to respond to requests for prescription renewal or appointments. I find this collection of all 5 star reviews to be very misleading, and possibly fraudulent.

Dr. Wells is everything a psychiatrist should be. He not only prescribes medicine, he also listens and offers great suggestions. Wish I'd found him years ago!
