About Me
As a transplant hepatologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in the care of patients with advanced liver disease and cirrhosis and perform a variety of endoscopic procedures including colonoscopies, upper endoscopies, the placement of feeding tubes, and esophageal dilations. When I’m not treating patients, I provide instruction on liver disease and lead small groups of medical students in clinical practice. In addition to teaching, I enjoy conducting outcome-based research on patients with liver disease to improve patient care.

He is very professional and makes sure all of my concerns were addressed.
Listened very well, very knowledgeable, very nice, made me feel better knowing he is my liver doctor.
Dr. Wellner is a good physician. I'm sure but his bedside manner is terrible. This was my 2nd visit with him and both times he made me feel like I was dying. He said he was sending me for an ultrasound to look for liver/cancer. He is the doom of gloom.
The dr took the time to explain in detail they medical issues I had and what I needed to do why it needed done. Did a good job on educating me on what was going on now and how it could be treated.
Very excellent and down to earth person. Excellent bed side manner
