Patient Reviews
Oct 27, 2021
I’ve had a lot of medical issues over the years and I’ve been to more doctors than I can even remember. So I think it says a lot that this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The staff is super friendly, efficient, and helpful. The entire new patient process was flawless. Dr. Wichter is knowledgeable and extremely patient with a great personality and comforting bedside manner. He takes the time to truly listen and get to the bottom of what ails you. I would recommend him to any family or friend in need of a neurologist! I was feeling very unsure and concerned about the symptoms I am experiencing but now I feel confident that I’m in very good hands!

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
