Patient Reviews
Dec 27, 2017
Dr. Wetter is a great doctor. He saved my life after a gallbladder surgery was left half way done in another hospital. I was very scared and worried, but Dr. Wetter, with his detailed explanations of the problem and solutions for the problem, had a calming effect on me.
