Professional and friendly
Staff was kind. Felt rushed and was not provided space to ask additional questions. Wish there was a patient portal.
If I'd have met him 6 months ago, I could have skipped another doctors procedure that didn't work!!! Knowledgeable, frank &.outstanding! Highly highly recommend.
Excellent Doctor
Very informative, walked me through each step.
Fast, efficient and painless treatment for a very annoying condition that isn’t that easy to correct yourself. And while I generally don’t like “go backs” to recheck how the procedure worked, who else could you get to check when you can’t yourself?
Great
Dr Wessels is kind and he’s efficient.
Dr. Wessels is so nice and took the time to explain everything to me. The staff there are great also!
Good communicator, compassionate
