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.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Wellman?
I first saw Dr Wellman when I had to have revision surgery due to another Dr's poor skill. From the first I felt safe and secure in his ability to fix my problem. He explained the possible problems that could arise and how it would be handled. Since that first procedure I have had both knees replaced and the other hip. I am amazed at how much better I feel (I was having problems for years). I am able to get out and walk and enjoy life again. I never hesitate to recommend Dr Wellman.

He was very honest and explained everything about my surgery. He also explained about my postoperative care and precautions that I had to follow after surgery.
