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.

Had an appointment for this afternoon - got there 20 mins. beforehand and when I opened the door to his office, the waiting room was packed - standing room only! It looked as if everybody was masked but the waiting room was full. I turned around and left. In the parking lot, I called to cancel and when the receptionist asked why, I told her that the waiting room was way too crowded (during the pandemic no less!) - her response was a surprised "OK". This was a physicians office!!

Dr. Wendler was easy to talk with and willing to take ample time to answer my questions. Bottom-line, my surgery to repair a hernia was successful and has held over two years now. No problems. My only minor complaint, the TV was a bit too loud in the waiting room. My primary care doctor, who recommended Dr. Wendler to me, said he would personally go to him, if he needed surgery.

He has really put my mom in some bad pain and when he did my mom's surgery he Nick her intestine and bile was coming out of her incisions. She is all the way in El Paso on a pik line for nutrition. He claimed he knew nothing about it..
