Dr. Wells obtained his medical degree in 1987 from Emory University in Atlanta, after graduating Summa Cum Laude from the University of California Santa Barbara. He completed his Orthopedic Surgery residency in 1992 at USC/Los Angeles County Hospital and then went on to do a fellowship in hand surgery at the Royal Perth Hospital in Australia. He returned to Los Angeles in 1993 to head the department of Hand Surgery at Kaiser Permanente Hospital. In 1996, seeking a bigger challenge and more independence, Dr Wells moved to Atlanta and started Atlas Orthopaedics, which would soon become one of the premier orthopedic practices in Northern Georgia.
After 25 years of 80-hour weeks as a full-time surgeon, CEO and President of Atlas Orthopaedics, Dr. Wells sold his practice in 2022 and moved to Aspen with his wife Kari, his daughter Alexa and his son Bryson. Duncan is now enjoying everything Aspen has to offer like mountain biking, skiing, hiking, and the Aspen Community. As a Board member with the Aspen Science Center, he is helping the ASC team develop and deliver a variety of health and medical-related programs.
