I have used your Wellness Wheel as part of my re-exam evaluation for many years. It's been invaluable, allowing patients to see where they need to work harder, or give us insights regarding what might be contributing to the issues that a patient is struggling with.

Two weeks ago I did a re-exam with a teenaged patient of mine, and as is our policy, he filled out his own Wellness Wheel. His last score was 50/70. Two weeks ago it was 28/70, with all areas scoring around a 2-3/10. Very concerning, and this change caused me to have a chat with my young patient. It turns out that this young man is completely overwhelmed by a number of different life events of the last six months, hadn't talked with anyone about how he was feeling, and thought there was something wrong with him because he couldn't handle the pressure of the load that he is under. The Wellness Wheel opened the door for a discussion that will be life-changing for this young man.

Thank you for all that you do, and for giving us the tools that we need to not only succeed in our practices but to serve our patients in a way that is life changing and deeply meaningful.
