Very professional and caring
I value Dr. Wheeler's direct approach to care and appreciate her providing all the options available to me so that together we can agree on the best approach for my care. I am very happy with Dr. Wheeler and this care team!
In more pain than I was before surgery. Symptoms are getting worse and nothing is being done.
Need back surgery, can do not better than Dr. Wheeler. She is magic and will make you feel like you are her only patient. Highly recommend!
Very pleasant and knowledgeable.
Only met once but seems very professional
Thanks, Doctor Wheeler for your advice. Nice to meet you.
The doctor was very attentive and took the time to carefully answer all of my questions
My only complaint with Dr Wheeler was that there were months between my office appointment and my surgery.
