Very professional and informative. Gave me good advice to help alleviate and prevent my problem going forward.
Kind, funny, thorough.
Dr Wessels and Nietra made my visit very comfortable and were kind. Their bedside manner was above and beyond.
Excellent Doctor. I appreciate the quality of information and care provided.
Dr. W is kind, professional, knowledgeable and everything was completely painless. Essence was a fantastic comfort, and before I knew it, I was out the door and on my way (after first helping myself to the candy bowl!). I’ll be going back in 4 weeks for a tuneup, and I’m actually looking forward to it just because the office staff is so exceptional.
Dr. & staff are all TERRIFIC!
Dr. Wessels is honest, fair , and transparent;. He has been working through pre-op, operation, and post- op to enable the best possible outcomes for me in the midst of one of the most troubling times of my life.
Dr. Wessels has always been very kind and professional in his care of me as his patient.
Explained options available and based on my particular needs came up with a solution.
This was my second visit with Dr. Wessels. He is very thorough, considerate of treating a very sensitive area of the body, and efficient. I most appreciated that I didn’t feel rushed while he listened to all of my concerns, and that he did an exam and treatment very quickly. His nurse is very kind and reassuring. I felt well cared for.
