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.

Do NOT recommend
My experience with Dr. Wenner was the worst I've ever had with a physician. He was self-absorbed as he spent more time talking about himself than my concerns. He did not address all of my concerns and I had to bring some of them up a second time for them to be considered. He seemed to want me to make my own diagnosis as he did a less-than-good job of walking me through the problem-solving process and kept asking me what I thought the diagnosis might be. He hesitated to talk about women's health-related matters. His candor was very unsympathetic and as the appointment progressed, I began to feel very uncomfortable talking with him about my symptoms. He concluded by telling me I just needed to 'wait it out' without giving me any further steps or things to look out for. I do not recommend his care (or lack of).

This doctor is ready to retire, and he tells his patients this, while refusing appropriate pain management and critical testing for life-threatening conditions. He is known for passing the buck and only treating patients with minor issues or those already in good health.

Was not pleased with our visit. I went in with my daughter because she had been sick with a cold for 2 weeks. I was told that it would pass and that she was fine. I knew it wasn't fine because she wasnt acting like herself. Ended up finding out a few days later that she had RSV. Just wish he would have took more time to do swabs and actually test her since she is so young.

Dr. Wenner was excellent with my father in law. He explained his complex conditions well and worked with us to make sure he understood his prescriptions. His nurses are fantastic as well.
