Patient Reviews
Oct 08, 2024
Dr. Wikholm is fantastic. Been seeing him for close to 25 years (with a break when he wasn’t covered by my old insurance). Really understands his area of expertise. Great personality, very thorough. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to treat my hearing loss or sleep apnea (which I was told is one of the worst he has ever seen). Set me up with a great CPAP, took a hands-on approach to every detail to see I was out-fitted with what I needed. I like the hands-on approach. Highly recommended.
