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.

Care provide usually comes in for about 10 min. out of the hour that I'm there and doesn't have time to get to know his patients. Basically "any questions or concerns?" Have a nice day.
All good.
No problems. Good visit.
Dr. Wellner is a remarkable physician. This was my first experience with him. He made an indelible positive impression. He was very communicative, very clear and very thoughtful. He answered our questions directly avoiding unnecessarily technical terms. When he couldn't answer a question he said so and explained the reason. A couple of my questions involved another area of practice. He made sure though to point out an upcoming appointment I have with a colleague of his who could answer the question and he made a point of sending a message to alert the colleague -- Dr. Krishna.
I always enjoy my visit with Dr. Wellner he is very nice & concerned about my condition.
Straight forward which I like and appreciate.
Dr. Wellner is professional, easy to understand, always on top of getting prescription refills. We use MyChart to communicate throughout the year.
The best & favorite doctor. Always shows intelligence & concern!
I felt like he knew my background history even though this was my first visit with him.
