AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Dr Wells is professional, caring, and friendly in his interactions, providing clear explanations for everything. He offers detailed insights into medical situations and various treatment options. Patients consistently value the quick booking of tests, rapid investigations, and efficient follow-up for procedures such as stent insertions and cardiac catheterisation. His expertise is particularly evident in managing echocardiogram findings, atrial fibrillation, and coronary artery disease, alongside addressing concerns such as chest pain and arrhythmia.
Dr Wells took the time to listen to the issues I was having, looked carefully at the symptoms and offered great support and understanding. He explained the likely condition, the potential treatments and the possible outcomes. I found it a hugely useful visit that gave me a much clearer picture of what was going on.
Dr Wells went to great lengths to explain the background to my problem, and why he was aiming to follow the treatment that he had proposed. I felt very comfortable as the result.
Ia didn’t actually meet Dr Wells only had a telephone consultation.
Dr Wells provided very clear explanations for symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, which was very reassuring.
After being asked about my symptoms Tim clearly explained and put my mind at rest possible reasons for my symptoms. After my consultation he arranged for further tests to be carried out. Very pleased as these were quick to be booked, further taking away the stress of waiting for appointments and results.
Dr Wells was considerate, empathic and answered all my questions in detail. This was a follow-up visit; the previous investigations and treatment were timely for me, and he fitted me in to an already busy schedule.
Dr Wells attention to detail, his compassionate demeanour and his expertise carrying out my virtually pain free operation is so welcome. I will add that his secretary, Sally, has also been of exceptional help throughout.
I found the whole experience to have been very easy, straightforward, and very well communicated to me. It was also dealt with extremely quickly, and was able to give us a sense of peace and calm in a very short space of time.
I received exceptional care and attention from Dr Wells throughout my appointment. He assured me that comments made by other professionals about my heart condition were not as drastic as I thought they were! And he put my mind at ease. He was very helpful and gave me the confidence to continue living life as fully as possible.
