Dr Wessels is exceptional! He has made my life so much easier.
Excellent patient care! Very personal and professional. Thank you!
My appt was at 11AM. I arrived at 10:45 AM. I did my paperwork online in advance. After checkin, I began waiting for what would be a VERY long time. At least 6 people who arrived after I did went back while I waited. Around 11:20, the receptionist poked her head out & asked my name. I was not overly concerned as doctors usually run behind. Around 11:35, I asked if everything was ok, & was told I was next. I was called to go back around 11:42. I undressed & got into “position” on the table & began waiting, again! After 20 minutes of lying down exposed & uncomfortable I sat up. The provider finally came into the room around 12:10, 1hr 10min after my scheduled appt time. As a healthcare administrator of more than 20 years, I get it! Stuff happens! BUT there is one thing I cannot get over. No one, not one person, said they were sorry! I especially expected the provider to offer some apology. My treatment was fine, no issues. But if I had been JUST 15 min late I wouldn’t have been seen.
Excellent wonderful Dr Wessels
Dr.Wessels was awesome, very understanding and reassuring about diagnosis and individual treatment plan. The doctor and his staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! I really appreciated Dr.Wessels advice, I felt he was very sincere and cared! Thank you for a great experience!
