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.

I’ve had a lot of medical issues over the years and I’ve been to more doctors than I can even remember. So I think it says a lot that this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The staff is super friendly, efficient, and helpful. The entire new patient process was flawless. Dr. Wichter is knowledgeable and extremely patient with a great personality and comforting bedside manner. He takes the time to truly listen and get to the bottom of what ails you. I would recommend him to any family or friend in need of a neurologist! I was feeling very unsure and concerned about the symptoms I am experiencing but now I feel confident that I’m in very good hands!

Absolute worst Dr.'s Office I've ever been to. They always promise to call you back but never do. Took an entire month to get them to send an appeal to the insurance company to approve a prescription and still hasn't been done.

I was admitted to Christ Hospital with 4 strokes, a 99-% blocked carotid artery and stage 4 lymphoma at age 47. Dr Wichter was so caring and awesome. I have recommended him to my friends. He is amazing!!!!
