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 impersonal! Not warm at all and he did the typical white male doctor to a black patient thing. I went to him for a few months and he did not change was very rude and did not listen to my concerns well he jumped to conclusions that are stereotypical.

First visit with this doctor after over 30 years thru first care new haven very poor first and last impression. This doctor is rude and short like he really doesn’t want to be there. Previous doctors there have written scripts for 1 year this doctor ninety days forcing you to see him every 3 or 4 months. Changes diagnosis to read false info he truly should lose his license I certainly wouldn’t recommend him to treat my dog let alone a person seems to care more about money then patient care

Dr Wuest should lose his license for being so rude. My son went to see him, he wouldn't even let him talk to tell him everything that was going on. He literally told him to "stop talking". When he asked my son a question, he would try to answer but be abruptly cut off and told he only wanted yes or no answers. He is a horribly rude excuse for a human being. We will NEVER see him again.

I would never recommend this doctor to ANYONE!!! Dr Wuest is RUDE & has horrible bedside manners! I recently moved to Fort Wayne & was seeking a new PCP - he has made rude comments to me about my weight. I recently has an abnormal pap & because it wasn't through Parkview, he refused to help me. Being young & scared, it was a very traumatic experience. I will be looking for a new PCP!! The office girls upfront & the nurses have always been kind though.

When we were looking for a family doctor for my mom, I was worried about the negative reviews on here. However, we decided to give him a chance. Dr. Wuest certainly is not a warm and fuzzy hand-holder. He is a "tell it to you straight" type of doctor, which I appreciate. No BS. He's knowledgeable, has years of experience, and there is no doubt that he only wants the best for the patient he is seeing. At the end of the day, you can walk out of his office trusting what he said.

Awful bedside manner. Does not make eye contact. I have never seen him smile or heard him laugh. You can tell he does not care and would rather be somewhere else. Literally spends 5 minutes with you if you are lucky. He is one of the lowest rated physician's in FW. I have never had a family member or friend that has him as a provider say anything good about him.

He is always running late, super rushed. His opinion is the only one that matters, doesn't appreciate his patients input into their own care. Once you see a specialist- even if he sent you, he will not review their notes, much less serve in the main role of a primary care doc with specialists which in my opinion is to ensure coordination of care. Bed side manner is rough, even has blown his nose while in the room and not re wash his hands. Not good as a PC, needs to be in research.
