He is, in fact, the first doctor in that venerable medical line to leave Orangeburg County.

Whereas, this MUSC fellow in hematology/oncology is a member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the American Society of Hematology, and the Southern Society for Clinical Investigation and is board certified in hematology, oncology, and internal medicine; and
Whereas, his patients already think of him in the terms by which he wants to be remembered: as a physician who listens and takes time with his patients, as well as one who is successful in treating them. Because of his medical expertise, many people in South Carolina are now enjoying considerably increased quality of life; and
Whereas, cognizant of his invaluable contributions to the people of the Palmetto State, most particularly those of Lexington County, the House extends grateful thanks to Dr. Wells for his committed service.
