I've worked with several orthopedic surgeons over the years, and I can say without hesitation that…read moreDr. Matthew Wells is outstanding. What immediately impressed me was that he took into account not only the condition of my knees, but also who I am as a patient and what I hope to get back to doing. Until recently, I was competing in CrossFit at an elite level and had ranked among the top 10 worldwide in my age group in the CrossFit Open, against thousands of competitors. My goal is not simply to make my knees feel better--I want, if reasonably possible, to return to a very high level of athletic activity. Dr. Wells understood that distinction. He is personable, engaging, exceptionally empathetic, and remarkably knowledgeable. Most importantly, he listened carefully to my concerns and took the time to answer every question I had. There were several different options and approaches available for treating my knees, and he explained each one clearly, including the potential benefits, limitations, and alternatives. What impressed me most was his willingness to actually give me his medical judgment. Rather than simply laying out a menu of options and leaving me to figure it out on my own, he explained what he would recommend for me, based on the latest medical evidence, his clinical experience, and what he has seen work in actual patients. He even told me what he would do if he were in my shoes, taking into account my particular circumstances and goals. That kind of thoughtful, confident guidance is surprisingly rare--and enormously valuable when you are making an important medical decision. Even better, Dr. Wells combines that depth of knowledge with the ability to translate it into a practical, realistic treatment plan tailored to the individual patient and his or her lifestyle. In my case, that means understanding that returning to serious athletic training and competition matters to me. I left the appointment feeling that he had truly understood my situation and had carefully thought through the best path forward. His staff is equally impressive. Nancy is an absolute pleasure to deal with--warm, helpful, and genuinely pleasant every time she answers the phone. And Carmen, who handles other administrative matters, will remind you of your favorite aunt who always made sure your favorite dessert was waiting when you came to visit. That combination of professionalism, warmth, and friendliness sets the tone for the entire practice: relaxed, welcoming, great energy, and very nice offices. I highly recommend Dr. Wells, particularly to athletes and active individuals dealing with knee, shoulder, or other joint problems. He is exactly the kind of physician you hope to find when you are trying to make an important decision about your care.

The MA showed me to a room, left and didn't shut the door. The staff with the office manager right there at the reception desk started talking loudly about a patient they referred to "as that old lady" who was being difficult in payer her bill. I had to walk out to the desk and tell them I could hear every word of their loud conversation and how unprofessional they were being referring to a patient as "that old lady". Dr Wells said he read my previous review and was taking steps to improve and he did ask his staff to shut the exam room door.

I refer all my Colleagues and close friends to Dr Matthew Wells. Such a Doctor that understands the meaning of Humanity and the care for others. Is worth going to see.

Very understanding and always willing to help.

I was hoping the pain in my foot would go away but it didn't, so I was looking for a doctor that…read morecould see me today. This is a walk-in orthopedic office which was perfect for me since I didn't want to wait till next week to find out what was wrong with my foot. This office is across from Broward General Hospital. I was seen by Dr. Jeffrey Alent who was very nice. Before being seen by the doctor X-rays were given and then the consult started. I was shown what the problem was and a plan of action. I am glad I did not break any bones in my foot. The recommendations were to take it easy, a no-impact exercise for a while, more stretching, and more supportive shoes as well as Voltaren cream for arthritis on my ankle from a broken ankle in the past. I did pass on the physical therapy since I rather work on the foot myself. Exercises were given to improve the range of movement. Hopefully, I will recover soon.

He's patient, he listens to you and he thoroughly explains things to you, He's definitely not one of those Drs who just prescribes you medication and tells you to come back in a couple of weeks. Keep in mind that this is a walk in clinic so they can be a wait but if you have an appt the wait really isn't too bad. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is from a couple of issues relating to the staff (not calling in meds, kind of a big deal). I recently started physical therapy here and can honestly say the physical therapists really have getting you feeling better as their top priority.

What a joke. My…read morehusband in a sling was given documents to fill out from to hostile admin assistants. Off to a terrible start. The admin assistants were then dealing with a heavier set lady (who worked there) with short curly hair who spoke to them like them were dirt on her shoe. All loud and aggressive for the entire waiting room to watch and feel uncomfortable. So no wonder the front of house staff treats people coming in the door terribly when that's how they are treated internally. We wasted time filling out all documents and sitting for an hour before being told being seen here would be a liability because he had already had a surgery on his clavicle. All we wanted was to review his pain management and wound care. Not to mention the place is FILTHY from the outside. You are a dollar sign to these people. And I'm not even sure they have qualified enough staff. Overall nightmare.

Kind, empathetic, patient and helpful. Dr. Hesse was fantastic! She did an ultrasound on my knee and I had X-rays done. She took out fluid from my knee, gave me a shot for pain and referred me for an MRI stat. Once i had my MRI, I came back to her. She told me I had a severe stress fracture in my femur a torn meniscus and inflammation on my patella. She told me I needed to stay off my feet for 4-6 weeks. So I could no longer work in my field as a Registered Behavior Therapist. She wrote me a note for work and prescribed me two different pain relievers (My request.) She was very kind and thorough with me. She didn't rush me out of the room. Very smart, empathetic and caring. Her nurse (I forgot her name) (sorry) was also very caring, kind and helpful.

This whole office and his staff reflect the heart and intent of this true physician who takes the Hippocratic oath seriously. Every single member of his staff is excellent.
