Patient Reviews
Oct 23, 2020
Other doctors wouldn't listen and kept telling my husband he had arthritis in his back and had bruised his rib. Dr. Wheat found that my husband had metastatic renal cell carcinoma. My husband's back hurt from the cancer near his spine, NOT from arthritis! He is truly a God send to my family and we will forever be thankful for him and the fact he listened to us! He has called to check on us repeatedly since our cancer treatments started!
