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.

Never going back
Waited a year to finally see her. Voiced my concerns about my irregular menstrual cycles. She told me to incorporate more greens into my diet. I asked if I could get bloodwork for my hormone levels since I have PCOS and was immediately brushed off. She stated “that is not necessary right now”. This was a complete waste of my time.

This was my first appointment at the clinic. Dr. Wellons took time to listen and was very responsive to my input. The appointment was unhurried and thorough. Dr. Wellons was eager to do more research based on some literature I had read regarding my condition. Communication of test results was prompt.

Seen her for a second opinion and she took take to explain everything and actually sat down and asked if I had any questions and waited on me to think about it. Very rare I've had in my experience to see a provider actually wait for your response without waiting at the door or doing something else while talking to you.

She lied in order to gain consent for testing. I told her my insurance wouldn’t pay for certain testing to be done and she then assured me she checked and everything was good to go. Long story short, she ran the tests I said no to and cost me hundreds of dollars. Despite having a witness present, she now denies everything and has refused to talk to me. Go somewhere else unless you want lies.
