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.

Great Dr and staff!
I have been a patient of Dr Wessels for years. He is a great provider with excellent bedside manner. His nurse, Nutra, was positive and a delight. The front desk staff was kind on the phone and got me scheduled quickly when I called for an appointment. The new office is so nice also!

Very efficient office flow, much faster than expected, in a good way. This is an inherently sensitive and uncomfortable (for me) process, but Dr Wessels made it much easier than expected. Very knowledgeable and friendly specialist.
