arrived 15minutes early as requested and I still had to wait another 30 minutes to be seen.
Dr Wessels was very nice an has a great care for what you seem to be going through. His nurses are super nice and very helpful. Highly recommend him..
Excellent care as always
Knowledgeable with great bedside manner.
Felt like this could definitely have been improved: asking the patient to be in the fetal position before he even enters the room. I absolutely refused and decided stay seated upright so I could talk and have eye contact before he started back there. It felt rushed and fast, and I felt a little bit disregarded when I asked if he could write down some notes so I culd process what he was saying. I want to wish I could’ve seen a picture scratched or something so I could understand what he meant by two holes. This is a major surgical procedure and he couldn’t take him to explain to me what was going on. Not everybody understands. Rating would’ve been lower about his staffI gave a three because his staff was absolutely amazing and wonderful!
Dr. Wessels is amazing!! Answered all our questions we had!
