    How was your appointment with Dr. Wellish?

    Jan 14, 2022
    I wish I could give Dr. Wellish and his staff 10 stars! I have a few friends who are optometrists and they all recommended Dr. Wellish. One of my friends even flew her mother in from another state just so Dr. Wellish could do the surgery. How grateful I am that he was able to be my doctor and surgeon. I knew I was in excellent hands. I was treated kindly, it was easy to make and change appointments, and everything was explained to me in terms I could understand. I had several appointments and only once did I wait longer then 20 minutes. On that busy day, I heard someone complaining about the wait and I wanted to stand up and ask them if they knew how lucky we are to have a doctor like Dr. Wellish in our community. No doctor plans on running behind, emergencies happen and he was giving individual and excellent service to the people he was seeing. I am always happy to wait if it means someone else is getting the proper care and know I will be treated the same during my appointment.
