Dr. Patrick Wiater was helpful in accommodating my very unusual situation which included having surgery out of state. He also explained my medical situation to an out of town relative on the phone. Would highly recommend him.

Everyone was friendly and the office processes were efficient. Unfortunately, I had a severe ankle break and had to see him as a surgeon. It was extremely painful to go from my car on crutches, to the office. There was no number I could find to call and request a wheelchair. Also, no one offered at the end. I felt very overwhelmed. My experience is not the usual, I don't think.

Listens well, complete, easy to understand explanation or answers. Staff is wonderful. So glad he was my emergency surgeon! I had his Father as a orthopedic Dr years ago. It gave me some calm before surgery knowing I was in good hands. Top notch Dr!!
