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.

Dr Wirges spent all the time I needed with me to answer my questions. He even returned to the room to answer a couple of more questions that I had thought of between him leaving the room and my leaving the office. It was very easy to set up an appointment and there was very little wait time in either the waiting room or in his patient room.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Wirges?
Dr. Wirges was informative and explained clearly what was needed to fix my broken wrist. The surgery went well. On my checkup yesterday, he told me the breaks in the bones had healed and I no longer needed a splint. I was so pleased with my progress. I am continuing physical therapy to help my wrist and hand to regain mobility. I highly recommend Ortho Arkansas and Dr. Wirges.

Dr. Wirges was very patient and thorough in his explanation of my condition. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I was seen right at my appointment time. Very well organized-covid screening is done outside, entry is staggered to avoid crowding.

Spent a lot of time discussing my hand problems. He gave me two shots in my wrist which did the trick. Compassionate and caring! Highly recommend Dr. Wirges. Check him out.
