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.

Very poor treatment I recieved.

Dr Wheatley and his nurses are great! but the front staff at Hendersonville office are not very friendly. They don’t say anything when you come in. I stood at the window for a few minutes before she even acknowledged I was standing there. They don’t smile.

Although he did not YET resolve the issue, Dr. Wheatley listened to my issue exponentially more than the previous two doctors. It was obvious he was listening and doing his best to help me. I hope we can work together and figure this problem out.

Dr. Wheatley is the BEST! I became his patient in an emergency situation 20 years ago. I was a very young patient and he has cared for me very well! He is so compassionate and always has my best interest at heart. I never feel like we are rushed when I am seeing him. He is VERY knowledgeable in the field of cardiac medicine and I put my full trust in his ability to care for me or any patients. I love him and his staff as well (especially Donna!) You will appreciate your care and compassion with Centennial Heart and Dr. Wheatley.

Everything went very well. I had to have 3 different tests done and they were all done in a very timely fashion. My appointment with Dr Wheatley was done ahead of schedule as well. Overall from making my appointment, appointment reminders from their office, tests, and seeing Dr Wheatley all went very smooth. Dr Wheatley was also a pleasure and he did not rush me at all.

Dr. Robert Wheatley is the BEST! My personal experience with him has been outstanding. He has diagnosed my AFIB & flutter and has monitored my flow and valve functionality. Dr. Wheatley is the most patient, friendly and communicable person to talk to. He is a great plumber / mechanical engineer for your heart. He also has great electrician / electrical engineer heart doctor friends (Dr. Robert Christopher Jones). The pair are exceptional.
