Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Wendling is an excellent surgeon.
Skill and knowledge of surgeon and medical staff.

Caring staff
Caring staff. Dr. Wendling was very professional and explained things well. David did my injections and he was so amazing at distracting me to get me to relax . Injections didn’t hurt just felt a bit of pressure quickly then it was over. Thank you to all who helped me.

Evaluation of knees for possible replacement.
I arrived 30 .inutes early as requested and had very little wait time for x-rays, and evaluation by both NP and Dr. Wendling. Explanations were clear and concise. All questions were answered.

Excellent!
From the pre-op visit, thru surgery and post-op, my expectations have been exceeded. Dr. Wendling and staff have been wonderful. He uses state of the art robotics and that has made a world of difference in a quick, successful recovery.

Orthopedic Appointment for hip & knee pain
Although he was late for my appointment he did have to review x-rays I brought and one taken at his office. He apologized for being late but he really listened to my concerns especially since I had a lot of issues going on. He didn’t rush to suggest surgery he rather suggested that first he thought the problem could be caused from my lower back and directed me to a back specialist to check that out first. I really appreciate his honesty. I would definitely recommend him to others.
