For some reason, this site won't let me choose 5 stars but that is my choice for Dr. Wells. I had my root canal on April 25 and have had not one bit of trouble with it! This is a wonderful dentist/endodontist. He is gentle, compassionate, and patient. I am very sensitive to the anesthesia and he used the smallest amount of epinephrine (adrenaline) possible to make sure I had no pain. (They use that in the local to keep the numbing effect going longer.) I have a panic disorder and have to take a mild sedative before going to any dental appointment because of the medicine they use. He did offer to use the local that does not have the epinephrine, but was clear that I may feel some pain. He then took the time to convince me that the epinephrine effects, while not comfortable (rapid heart beat while having to sit still) would not hurt me in the small amount he would use. So ... I believed him and I survived! He whistles while he works, he describes anything and everything you want to hear. He takes the time needed to make you feel comfortable. AND ... he has the BEST VIBRATING CHAIRS!!! They vibrate in just the right spot between the sholder blades to lessen the horrible feeling of tension created by the epinephrine. Most people don't feel anything, but unfortunately, I do; and this dentist really cares. You feel it from the moment he walks into the room. THEN ... he took the time to call me himself to see if I was feeling okay a few hours later. How awesome is that?! Most doctors today hardly take the time to say hi and bye to you ... just shuttle people in and out like cattle. But not this one. I highly recommend him and if this crazy site would work right, I would have given him 5 stars.
