Your First Appointment

Dr. Wells' philosophy on plastic surgery includes a comprehensive approach to patient management. At your first consultation you may expect a thorough evaluation of your surgical needs as well as your specific skin care objectives. Dr. Wells' approach is to achieve the most natural result possible with the best possible outcome. He is able to accomplish this by optimizing the "fabric" of your skin. At the time of your initial consultation, be prepared to discuss both surgical objectives as well as any skin care concerns that you may have. You may anticipate a comprehensive consultation that will include all surgical options as well as the need for any ancillary procedures that would be necessary to achieve the most optimal outcome.

Testimonials

"I have been a patient of Dr. Wells for more than ten years..Not only is Dr. Wells one of the most highly respected plastic surgeon's in the country, he's also a compassionate and caring man, both professionally and personally. Dr. Wells has performed several surgeries for me, including a mini-lift and a brow lift, all to stellar results. However, it's not just the results that I so appreciate-it is his warmth, the inviting atmosphere of his office and lovely staff, all help to make the experiences pleasant ones. I recommended Dr. Wells not only for my friends, but to my family and daughter as well. Thank you Dr. Wells!" A.P.S.

 

"...Just to say "thank you" for being so considerate and generous is an understatement. In this day and age one seldom finds a person who is willing to give of themselves and their time to help others. You are a very sensitive caring doctor and I am truly grateful." D. M.

 

"...You enjoy an outstanding reputation as a creative genius in the world of plastic surgery and your work speaks for itself, however, the thing that makes you so unique is how thoughtful, generous and kind you are." J.S.

 

"I just wanted to take the time out to thank you for being such an excellent doctor. The process for my breast augmentation moved quite quickly. I have wanted to do this procedure for so long and J. R.'s extremely high recommendations made it quite easy for me. The day I met you I felt your genuine warmth and interest in what you do. Your knowledge, kindness and caring towards the human body came across very strongly and you listened to my personal concerns and answered them confidently and completely. You calmed me down with my last minute jitters with facts and truth about implants and mammograms. The day of surgery went as smooth as I could ever have imagined. And now, just a week later, I feel amazing and I love the way I look. I have never had so much fun shopping for myself either. My family is so happy for me. It's all so good. You and Carol and your wonderful office staff made the whole procedure so comfortable for me." M. W.

 

"I just wanted to take the time to say thank you so very much for what you have done for me regarding my surgery last week..words cannot express the appreciation I feel towards you and your staff..Getting this surgery was a dream come true that I thought I would never in my life have the ability to have. Dr. Wells, I cannot thank you enough for being such a great doctor, a great guy and it is so apparent you put your all into everything you do. You have been an angel in my life and I am sure you have heard all of this before but it was very important for me to say "thank you" in this way." L. G.
