Patient Reviews
Oct 15, 2024
I am now an adult, but saw Dr. Wells for a second opinion around 2010 for an ankle injury that was unexplainable by a prior orthopedist. During the visit, he noted that I had hypermobility after performing the Beighton scale, and mentioned that we should keep an eye on it going forward. This small bit of information became very important as I aged and was eventually diagnosed with hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and have undergone several joint repair surgeries. Dr. Wells suspicions were correct, and I’m still impressed by his knowledge of connective tissue disorders in a time before EDS was well-known and publicized. I would highly recommend him!
