I’ve had multiple appointments with Dr Wessels, and I can say that his bedside manner is superb. He makes you as comfortable as you can be in a situation like that. My only complaint is that the time you wait for the doctor “in position” on the exam table is a bit lengthy. I’ll still go back when I need care though.
Dr. Wessels was efficient, informative and did a great job with my procedure. I would definitely recommend him.
Dr Wessels is empathetic, caring, knowledgeable, and personable. All of the things that make a great doctor and diagnostician. I’m so glad I’m his patient and trust him with my care.
I was advised that banding was best for me so I didn’t get the injections but I was charged 400$ for a procedure that would have cost me 500$ hag I known I was gonna be charged 400$ for what turned out to be an exam I would have gotten the procedure done. I feel like I was talked out of the procedure but still charged for it not happy at all
