Patient Reviews
Sep 18, 2024
I've been seeing Dr. Wells about the arthritis in my knee for about 7 years. He carefully monitored the progression and did some minor interim procedures to relieve pain, but ultimately I required a full knee replacement. Dr. Wells did an excellent job on the surgery and all follow-ups, and was dedicated to my full recovery. On his advice I completed four months of physical therapy, which made all the difference. Now, 12 months after surgery, I have regained 95% of my strength, flexibility, and mobility. No artificial knee can fully replicate a human knee, but I am delighted with my experience. Beyond his surgical skills, Dr. Wells is a great communicator: clear, precise, transparent, and totally focused on you. And his staff are wonderful, too! I recommend Dr. Matt Wells and his Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine practice without reservation.
