"Office was filthy, dated and disgusting- the minute you walk in you feel the 'free clinic' style setting and vibe. And the attitudes and behavior of the staff was what you'd expect from hormonal teenagers."
- WebMD Care Review"I can say quite emphatically that Dr Wells is the best doctor I have ever had. He is genuinely interested and concerned for the well being of each of his patients."
- WebMD Care Review"The front office lady was AWEFUL. Had no knowledge of the process for acutane and the Ipledge program. The office is over booked..."
