“Dr.Wren is a wonderful OBGYN. I was fortunate enough to be put with him one day as a work-in early on in my pregnancy for some abnormal bleeding. Since day one he has taken all my concerns seriously. I knew that first time I met with this provider that he was the doctor I wanted to follow me throughout my pregnancy. He has a great bedside manner and makes sure to explain things thoroughly. I am comfortable talking with this physician and feel I am in good hands. If you are looking for an exquisite provider, look no further.” – Google Review, 2024
