After having multiple spinal surgeries by some of the best surgeons in Virginia, I was still having acute problems with my back. UT refused to treat me because of my age (80 at the time), and offered only injections. Dr. Wells, who told me that he believed I was a 'tough 80' accepted me as his patient. I have been forever grateful as he fixed everything that needed fixing and I had the easiest recovery time ever and he also found the reason I had so much trouble - congenital short pedicles, which also was the reason I had several cervical surgeries. I am an experienced patient, and I know a excellent surgeon when I see one, and there is no better than Dr. Wells - he is a super star! Office is friendly and while there may be a short wait, remember all these doctors are excellent surgeons! read more
