Dr. Joel Edwyn Wells

I was scheduled for hip replacement by another medical source. I was not confident of their diagnoses and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Wells..His diagnoses was different and did not require hip replacement but treatment for exterior area of hip. I am appreciative and impressed with his honesty and expertise that spared me the discomfort of surgery. Thank You Dr. Wells.

Dr. Wells performed a hip replacement for me, January 2020. Dr. Wells explains everything in an understanding manner during every appointment pre surgery, after surgery visit in hospital and calls to home to check on the patient. He and his staff are the most caring, concerned 'team' I have ever encountered. He and his staff made themselves available to personally answer questions over weekend, evenings, post surgery. If my other hip needs to be replaced, I would not want anyone else but Dr. Wells to be my surgeon.

I've been continuously impressed with my hip specialists after what I've been through thus far with my other medical mysteries not related to my hips. Dr. Wells already read my images pre-appointment, and he was even early to my appointment. His opinion majorly factored into my decision to go through with bilateral PAOs and arthroscopy. I would have definitely trusted him as my surgeon as well, but due to time constraints and convenience, I chose to have my surgery in Houston. I had my LPAO and arthroscopy in June, and I am now 8 weeks post-op. My operated side is feeling so much better, and I've noticed some slight improvements with my pelvis. He also noticed some things that my other doctors had not mentioned as well. The session was well worth my time, he answered all of my questions, and I can tell he really cares about his patients.

super surgeon super person

Absolutely the best doctor I have ever had, from bedside manner to complex surgery. I can't say enough about him and the team of people he has working with him. The staff at his offices and at the UTSouthwestern Zales Lipshy hospital all hit it out of the park in every way.

After a fall with broken femur, two surgeries elsewhere with hip displacements afterward and physical therapies, I found Dr. Wells. He may have saved my life with a hip replacement that solved my complicated issues! After an entire year of surgeries, rehab stays and physical therapy, he knew the answer where others failed. thank heavens we asked for that SECOND OPINION! Thank you, Dr Joel Wells!

I’m speechless how wonderful he is ! He is definitely the best around along with his entire staff.

Wonderful doctor !I’m coming all the way from Detroit just to see him for PAO surgery.
