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 good physician
I have been going to Dr. Wetherhold for 10 years. What stands out is that that he is a good listener. He addresses my concerns and involves me in making treatment decisions. For example, he will present alternatives... e.g. wait, add medication etc and let me know what he recommends so I feel in control. He is timely with refilling prescriptions. I don't recall having a problem in that regard. My health has improved considerably since I began seeing him. Now, the only thing I would remark is that he is highly efficient with his time. I have had some m.d.s who might chat for 30 minutes. If you need that, he probably is not the person you are looking for. But if you want to be treated quickly and efficiently with good outcomes, then I would recommend Dr. Wetherhold.

Do not go. Find another physician. He can't even refill your medications in a timely manner. It took 2 weeks for him to finally get my medications refilled after I called several times. This is not a one time occurrence. This has happened several times already. He works one day a week so he can't provide appropriate patient care. Find someone else if you want better care and prompt medical attention.

I highly recommend Dr. Wetherhold, when I saw him on my first visit, I could tell , he had thoroughly read my medical history. He was caring , very sure of himself and listened and answered all my questions. I have seen many Doctors in my lifetime, and I can attest that Dr. Wetherhold is highly qualified professional and he is exactly the doctor that I want to care for my health.
