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.

Wonderful doctor!
First this facilities staff are the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. Hazel the nurse has a warm, genuine attitude. It’s evident that she takes her job seriously and professionally, while maintaining a personal touch. Dr. Woessner looks so gruff from the outside, but don’t let that Veteran Army look discourage you. He is warm, down to earth and attentive. His bedside manner is one of the best I’ve encountered and there have been a lot. His PA? I believe and bless him I forgot his name. He was so caring and patient. I’m thankful to have found this practice.

Absolutely nothing good. We had X-rays, CT scan, sum’n of the sort prior to scheduling this appointment. Once appointment day came we waited almost 2 hours to get in to see the doctor. Only to be told after 10 minutes of being called back that we have go somewhere else and get an MRI and then come back and see them. He didn’t know who was going to call us for the MRI appt and stated that we need to get in contact with them after the MRI to schedule a time to come back in to see them. Very unknowledgeable of the process and did not really care.

Best of best!
I was referred to Dr Woessner after going to an orthopedic urgent care. He was absolutely wonderful. He even found another break that they had not found previously. He really put me at ease with all of my worries. I will go to him for any future orthopedic needs I ever have. Would highly recommend!
