Do not go to Doctor Stokes if you struggle with mental health. I had told him twice that my chronic…read moredepression was an issue for me and that I didn't think the medication I was taking was helping because I noticed an steady increase in worsening symptoms. Eventually, I asked him if he could recommend a psychiatrist for me because I wanted to see a specialist. Doctor Stokes then proceeded to explain to me what a psychologist is vs a psychiatrist (something I already knew) and then sent me on my way with a recommendation for neither. Shortly after, I had an incident that almost hospitalized me and had to be enrolled in an Intensive Outpatient Program with Summa Mental Health. When they pulled my records, the only notation that Doctor Stokes had written about my depression was at the very bottom and said, "My have mild depression."

I have not felt this good in over a year. she has my profound thanks and I would tell anyone visit her she is among the best!

I have been through several PC doctors and I will say that she is the absolute best. When other…read moredoctors brushed things off and just forgot about things she dug until she found the answer. She also is very understanding when it comes to allergies and sensitivity's to certain things. I have a long and complicated medical history but she juggles it with ease and works with all my specialists well to be sure everything's being handled. I couldn't imagine seeing anyone else for care. I highly recommend her (and do so often) because she really is the best doctor I've had. She also treats my husband and always recognizes us and will not just ask how the sick ones doing but check in a small amount with the one not being seen. Then again we are both chronically ill and she sees us a lot. Anyway, highly recommend. 11/10

He offers support endlessly when needed to discuss any questions or issues you have or have had from the gastric bypass! I have seen him for the last 11 years since I had the surgery and he makes sure to supply knowledge and offer counseling through their office if needed. I have had many health issues over the years and have seen many doctors and he is by far the best. He has practiced for over 40 years. The office staff are friendly and nice to interact with.

I would like to take the time to recognize a wonderful person on the Summa Bariatric Care team-Dr…read more Kenneth Wells. I have known Dr. Wells since his residency days at Summa. He rotated periodically through the physicians office that I worked in. I came to not only like him personally, but to also respect his professionally. The physicians that I worked for regarded him so highly that they wanted him to change his specialty from internal medicine to cardiology and then join their practice. I think that speaks volumes about Dr. Wells and his abilities. Dr. Wells did choose to remain with internal medicine and opened his own private practice with Dr. Uhall. I immediately became a patient of his and had both of my parents switch their care over to him because of my faith in him. He took care of both of my parents until their passing, He was a tremendous source of strength to me in helping me with their care. I was deeply saddened when he chose to leave private practice because it is almost impossible to find a physician of his caliber anymore. When I was trying to make a decision on which local bariatric program to choose for my care, I discovered that Dr. Wells had recently accepted the position as the Medical Director of the Summa program. I knew immediately that my search was over. I knew I would receive no finer care in any other program than I would by Dr. Wells. Dr. Wells never let me down on his care in the bariatric program. I will always highly recommend Dr. Wells to everyone. He is a good and decent man and an excellent physician. My only concern for Dr. Wells is, that I noticed over time, that they were making his schedule increasingly busy and difficult for him to be able to spend the kind of time that he wanted to with each patient. Dr. Wells knows that each patient requires individual care and time and he wants to be able to give that to each patient. This is not his fault, but I have no doubt that he continues to do the best possible job he can given what he has to work with. I will always be one of Dr. Wells' biggest fans!

They are very knowledgeable and take their time to make sure the treatment you get for whatever is ailing you is right. It's super easy to communicate with my doctor through their app, too!

I had an appointment scheduled for this morning. On the 23rd, the office called me to ask standard…read morepre-appointment questions. I wasn't home at the time, but I heard the voicemail and was asked to call back. When I returned the call the following day, the office was closed for the Christmas holiday. Then it was the weekend. I assumed this wouldn't be a big deal and that I'd be able to answer the questions in person at my 8:50 appointment this morning. Today, I walked in and the woman at the front desk informed me that the appointment had been cancelled. "Uh, no," I said. I'm a student and I live out-of-state full time. This was my only chance to see a doctor on my parents' health care plan (without a co-pay) while home for the holidays. No way did any of us cancel the appointment. "You didn't verbally confirm the appointment so we cancelled it," the woman said. "It's our policy." Funnily enough, this policy was never communicated in the voicemail I received, in the email correspondences I received (attached here for your reference), or at any point other than this morning. If that's really the policy, fair enough. Make that clear to your patients so we can act accordingly. I asked to speak with someone else, hoping to explain my circumstances. This second woman was incredibly rude. She said: "You need to find a primary care physician in the state where you live. What are you going to do if you have a sore throat?" First, how is that any of the staff's business? Someone at the front desk of a doctor's office is not going to tell me about which doctors I should see and where I should see them. She doesn't know anything about the number of doctors in my area covered by my out-of-state insurance. Completely inappropriate. The staff was rude, unprofessional, and overstepped boundaries when conversing with me. The practice policies are unclear and poorly communicated. The front desk is supposed to function as a face for the practice itself, and if this is any indication about how the practice treats its patients, perhaps it is for the best that my appointment today was cancelled. I had a choice about which doctors to see, and I specifically chose Wadsworth Family. I will not choose them again.
