Dr Wells asks in a condescending manner,. " would you like to take care of that today?" but if you ask questions abou the procedure he is dismissive and says,, " Leave that to me You would not understand" Notwithstanding my PhD in biochemistry Dr Wells knows best!

I , have been a patient of Dr. Wells for in excess of 25 years. He is a no-nonsense individual who focuses on your current dermatological problem, presents his diagnosis, and treats and prescribes as required. He satisfactorily answers any questions I have regarding my skin. His office staff is always very friendly and efficient. I would give this doctor an enthusiastic recommendation to anyone who might ask me about him. Richard DeVenuto

Dr. Wells is an extremely dedicated and knowledgeable dermatologist. This family has been a patient of his for many years and find him to be most caring, thoughtful and friendly. He allows adequate time with us during a visit and answers all questions with regard to our symptoms. We recommend Dr. Wells very highly.

I've been seeing this doctor for years and think he's great. He's gotten some negative reviews, I don't know why. He has a very busy practice and many, many return patients. I highly recommend this very nice, competent dermatologist.

Didn't bother examining my skin which is genetically hypersensitive. Doesn't listen to patient at all. Prescribed tretinoin without proper instruction (speaking too fast, didn't advise me to wear sunscreen while on tretinoin, prescription unsuitable for hypersensitive skin which resulted in second degree burn and told me to keep using it which is negligent).

Dr. Wells drops the F bomb and touches too much. I was very uncomfortable.
