I tore my ACL during a flag football game & chose to go to the Watauga Orthopedics walk-in clinic. I was seen in a timely manner by both a PA and MD. After a thorough exam, a MRI was performed and confirmed my ACL tear.

My surgeon, Dr. Wells. was consulted after the MRI results came back. He gave me non-surgical and surgical evidence-based treatment options & helped guide my decision making. Due to school, family, and recreation factors we decided surgical repair was best for me. He answered all of my questions and explained all aspects of the surgery/recovery. Dr. Wells even added on my surgery to his already full operating schedule the following Monday. I really appreciate his dedication to my care.

Before and after surgery Dr. Wells & the OR team made me feel at ease with their top notch bedside manner. My ACL reconstructive surgery went smoothly, & my PT/recovery are coming along quite well.

Overall, Dr. Wells & the Watauga Orthopedic clinic staff provided the highest quality of orthopedic care one can ask for. They were a blessing that helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life!
