Patient Reviews
Jan 28, 2021
I am from Los Angeles where the doctors create an untrusting environment sometimes. You feels that all they are doing is guinea pig test on you and not helping you. Dr. Wheeler gets to the points of your care by looking at the whole body and treat it accordingly. That is rare today. His nurse Nurse Practitioner , Ms. Jenny Coleman, stand by his side and she explains their plan of care with clarity that ALL nurses should from her. I commend them both for being my life. I am entrusting my life with the both of them. My other doctors is measured by my views based on Dr. Wheeler's examples. If he leaves the world, God has done the world an injustice.
