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 seen Dr Wheeler from 1998 to 2015 before moving to Owensboro KY. Dr Wheeler is one of the best. I have Glaucoma. I had it for sometime for sometime, but no other Dr correctly diagnosed it. Leaving me with a bad attack in 1998. My pressure was 60 in my left eye. He worked all day and part of the next getting my pressure down. I will always appreciate him, and a big Thanks to him for taking care of me. Thanks. DR Wheeler.

Thumbsup for Dr. Wheeler, but his office staff seems to stay in a constant state of confusion....they really need to get their heads together and try to do better.
