Patient Reviews

Jun 14, 2018

I trust Dr W completely. When other drs couldn’t find out what was wrong with me, he “heard” me & started digging. I have been diagnosed with a rare disease now. I can speak with him frankly & directly. I don’t always LIKE what he tells me ... he lets me make my own decisions even when he disagrees with them. Staff are nothing short of amazing: personable, friendly & sincere. Try a consultation visit. You can always go somewhere else if you don’t like them. I feel blessed to have found them.
