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.

First the test he administered hurt me and I did not know I was bleeding until I got home. Then he did not call me back when I was concerned about continued bleeding the next day

Doctor goes MIA after ordering tests
Good reviews for this doctor are not recent. The practice has changed. Here’s my experience: you have an initial consultation. The doctor orders tests. Then the doctor goes missing. You can’t get him to review the test results and get back to you. You can’t even get a hold of his nurse no matter how many times you call. Then, when in desperation you try to make a follow up appointment to discuss the test results, you’re told you’ll have to wait two months. It really is outrageous.

Met with Dr. Wenske today and was amazed. He has great bed side manner. He explains all the options and actual diagnosis. He will not rush you out of the office. He will not waste his times with treatments that are unnecessary. You can trust him and feel comfortable which is very hard to find in doctors now a days. Very impressed doctor!

Dr. Wenske is a skilled diagnostician and terrific surgeon. He explains all findings and procedures thoroughly and clearly. He is also compassionate and kind. I had a complicated TURP procedure and the results in Dr. Wenske's hands were excellent. Minimal post-surgical pain and an easy recovery. The "entire package" of Dr. Wenske's medical attributes is a gift to anyone seeking expertise with urological problems.

He reminds me of me with how he leaves nothing to chance and will personally call the patient instead of relying on his office to convey a message to a patient. When you ask someone to make a call for you , inevitably something will not be conveyed to the patient. So by doing it yourself you can be sure the patient got the message

My husband first saw Dr. Wenske last month and I met him there. Dr. Wenske was on time. I was late and he very kindly waited for me. He explained everything thoroughly and patiently answered every question. He is obviously very knowlegable and caring. I am a nurse so I have higher standards than most! He put us both at ease and made my husband feel he was being cared for by an expert who was also very kind.

Dr. Wenske is a superb urologist with excellent bed side manners. He listens intently and patiently answers questions. The staff is polite and efficient. Scheduling appointments, arranging labs and calling in medications (even prior authorizations) are a breeze. In all, a friendly caring doctor should you need a urologist.

Dr Wenske is an outstanding professional. He has twice removed tumors on my bladder. He took the time to explain the procedure to me, kept me informed throughout of how it was progressing, and showed me the monitor so I could see for myself. Although he had a hectic schedule that day when I asked him to inform my wife of the results in went out to the waiting room and reassured her.
