Dr Wells is one of the best psychriatrist I've interacted with. He's non-judgmental and knows the right questions to ask.

Dr. Wells was friendly, attentive, and efficient.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
He definitely made me feel like a number rather than a patient. He asked for money up front and the visit was clearly about him long his pockets instead of helping me.
Also, I got the impression he's used to working with people who may or may not actually have ADHD but are still there for prescriptions. As someone who's been taking ADHD meds nearly all my life, I was offended to be treated a bit like a drug addict. Needless to say, I WON'T be returning.

I met with Dr. Wells several times to manage my medication for anxiety and depression. He was always extremely prompt and communicative, really insightful, and very careful with the process of changing my medication when it became necessary. I also found his manner extremely kind and attentive. I would definitely recommend him for psychiatric medication management.

Dr Wells was unable to give advice of any kind.
He seemed to be on auto-pilot. When asked which - if any - ADHD medications would be safe during pregnancy (or for alternatives if none of them are) he spent 10 minutes literally googling the question while I sat in the room waiting.
In the end, he wrote me a prescription which turned out not to be for the meds we'd discussed, but for the one's I'd specifically said hadn't worked in the past. I would not recommend him.

I adore Dr. Wells, he's thorough and easy to talk to. He is also never pushy with assigning drugs or tries to assign anything without a thorough investigation of your family history and health history. Adore him! I've sent my friends to him too!
February 4, 2016Initials hidden
He's so nice and attentive. Highly recommended.
January 19, 2016Initials hidden
Dr. Wells is not just a pill-pusher. He took the time to find out all about me - my past, present and future plans. He changed one of my medications and offered great advice going forward.
January 20, 2016Initials hidden
You can tell the he really cares about your well being. If I ever have an issue all I have to do is text him and he will make time to see me that day.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
He was great, simply. He listened intently, asked me good/balanced questions and provided me with a plan of action to move forward. I'm far more satisfied than I thought I'd be to be frank. I highly recommend him.

Unlike other psychiatrists I've seen, Dr. Wells wasn't judgey at all. He was kind, patient and just listened. His space was warm and inviting. Highly recommend.

December 25, 2015Initials hidden
My initial consultation with Dr. Wells put me at ease. He took the time to ask detailed questions that showed he had reviewed my patient history and was interested in my prior diagnoses. He had several useful suggestions for altering my treatment to improve my overall health and wellness. I will certainly continue to see Dr. Wells!
January 12, 2016Initials hidden
Allan Wells is very friendly person, but as a doctor he is pretty much only good for giving you drugs...his knowledge of how the mind actually works is extremely cookie-cutter textbook, and everything he told me I could have found out with a quick Google search. Some things he said don't even make human sense, for example that people typically get over grief and trauma within a year...try telling that to any rape victim, soldier, person who has lost a loved one. Not worth your time or money unless you know your solution is medication.

An amazing and knowledgable doctor who is also empathetic. He listens to the patient and is very honest about medications, treatments, and their side effects. He encourages patients to do their own research as well, which is quite unheard of in my experience. He urges for follow up and insist I contact him after 2 days of treatment. He truly cares about patients, and it's evident that he truly maintains professional integrity.
