I was referred to Dr. Wells by a top dentist in Memphis. I live in Chicago but am in the area working but would travel back here if needed for a root canal or any other tooth issues I may have, now or in the future. I could not have gotten luckier. Dr. Wells, at the Kirby location, was one of the smartest, kindest, most honest, professional and experienced people I have ever met. I won't bore anyone with the details but please believe me when I say you will not regret your decision to have Dr. Wells look at your dental concerns. His staff, Shannon and Kristen, could not have been more helpful, kinder or empathetic. I truly am grateful and would not hesitate for a second recommending him. Thank you so much Dr. Wells.
My wife had an excellent experience at this office. The staff was very professional and Dr. Wells did a great procedure. We are happy to recommend them!
Dr. Wells is an excellent endodontist! He and his staff were so caring and professional when I had my root canal. He explained every step as he did the procedure which made me feel comfortable. I would recommend him and this practice without reservation.
Nothing short of excellence. Patient experience is top notch! Dr.Wells and Raven are both stellar people!
Dr. Wells and Raven were great. They did a fantastic job explaining the options and the procedure. The procedure was painless. Thank you!
