A truly exceptional and caring provider
Dr. Wellens and her staff are highly professional and knowledgeable. I recommend this clinic without reservations. I have also purchased shoes from their shoe store in Winter Haven and Steve is an expert at finding the best shoes for your individual needs.
Excellent provider with up to date practices
Dr. Wellens and her team are very friendly and compassionate, and they provide excellent health care. Dr. Wellens has performed two foot surgeries for two different reasons, and I would not trust my feet to anyone else. She stays current with the best podiatric practices and is ahead of the rest. She will work until she finds a solution. In addition to the surgeries, I had issues with plantar fasciitis, and she was able to eradicate crippling foot pain. I highly recommend Dr. Wellens and her team!
Top-Notch Bunion surgery and team!
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Wellens, Crystal, and the entire staff. From my very first visit through bunion surgery and recovery, I was treated with exceptional care, professionalism, and genuine kindness. Dr. Wellens is outstanding—knowledgeable, skilled, and patient in explaining every step of the procedure. I felt completely confident and at ease knowing I was in such capable hands. The surgery went smoothly, and my outcome has exceeded my expectations. Crystal and the staff were equally amazing—friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable and informed. Their compassion and teamwork truly set this practice apart.If you are considering bunion surgery or need expert foot care, I highly recommend Dr. Wellens and this wonderful team. They deliver excellence in both medical care and patient experience!
A truly exceptional and caring provider
The FL Foot and Ankle team is fantastic. Nurse Wendy goes above and beyond. The doctor quickly diagnosed my broken foot and explained treatment. I received custom orthotics soon after.
Much needed Achilles surgery
My name is Jason Looney. I'm recovery from the Tenjet procedure. Through this process, I've been very pleased with Dr. Wellens and her staff. Dr. Wellens has been thorough with her communication.
A top-notch podiatrist with modern techniques
In today's world of "hurry up get it done," it was refreshing to find a doctor who took the time to explain what I needed done. Dr. Wellens gave a detailed explanation of the procedure and took the time to answer all my questions. Her compassionate nature gave me great comfort and confidence to move forward with the surgery. I can't say enough about the team she has working for her. The professionalism of the office staff and Crystal, the nurse, are second to none! I highly recommend Dr. Wellens and her team!
