I am getting ready to have my second knee replacement surgery with Dr. Wendling. He is GREAT! He cares and listened to my concerns. The first surgery went great! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great knee surgeon who cares!

This was my first visit with him & his team. Outstanding is my thoughts & I felt he was incredibly knowledgeable in his field & not a physician who pushes for surgery without trying other methods first. He listened very well & helped me make a plan best for me . I would refer him to my closest family, friends or anyone who is needing his specialty.

From start to finish, I felt fully informed and ready for the surgery and post-op care and physical therapy. Everyone was helpful and made sure that I was comfortable with the whole process. I'm ready for the second knee surgery with no concerns.

Dr Wendling was awesome with my husbands knee! Showed him exactly what was going on and gave him options, got the shot approved thru our insurance during visit, and to top it all off, David, his asst, gave him the shot in the knee that was painless. Let us know to give him a call if we needed anything and would fit my husband back into his schedule if there were any problems! By the time we got home, my husbands knee was already feeling better. Thank you!

I thoroughly enjoyed my clinic visit with Dr. Wendling. He was engaging, enthusiastic and personable. His professionalism and "evidence-based" practice style is refreshing. He listened well, and explained things very well. I walked away satisfied with his determinations and suggestions. Overall, a 10 out of 10.
