Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wellbaum only wants to do telehealth visits and I he sent me for a Covid test. Came back neg. and had fever for 10 days with cough. Wellbaums responded to take OTC cough syrup . Three days later in ER with double lung pneumonia and admitted to Hosp for 7 days. Tried to follow up with Dr Wellbaum and he would not respond to MyChart Messages or when I called the office, the office person said she would let Wellbaum and get back with me, still no response. Had to find new primary care doctor due to lack of adequate care or communication with his patient .

Dr. Wellbaum is absolutely the most knowledgeable, personable and kind family physician I have ever experienced. I am a "complicated" patient with several chronic medical problems and he tackles each one expertly. I have complete trust in his care and I highly recommend him to everyone.
