I have been going to Dr. Wells since 2003...he was on call when I was hit head-on by a drunk driver. I have always received excellent care and highly recommend him to anyone who need orthopedic care.

I have visited Dr. Duncan many times and he is always extremely professional. The last time I went he told me just by examining my knee that I may have a meniscus tear. After one more month of pain...I had the MRI he suggested and he was right. Not many doctors give you facts about anything anymore because of liability, but he was spot on. I am grateful to have a doctor who is always up-front and experienced. I will send all my friends. Oh... the office staff and his wife Kari are always so gracious and helpful. This place is very clean and appointments are QUICK.

I recently visited Dr Wells for my wrist pain that I have suffered with for many years. Two other doctors were unable to find anything wrong with me and so just gave me pain meds. Dr Wells took the time to actually treat my wrist and found out I had a benign tumor. It was a quick operation and I am now pain free. I found his staff to be friendly and courteous and he was very knowledgeable about all of the treatment options.

Dr. Wells was on call in 2003 when my foot was severly injured in a car wreck. I truly believe his expertise and knowledge is why I still have my foot today. He is by far the best physician/surgeon I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, regardless of the circumstances.I highly recommend him to anyone who has a need for his services!
