I am always able to get a timely appointment for illness, I wait only a few minutes in the waiting room, the nurse Cherri and Dr Wetzel listen to my problems carefully. Dr Wetzel had been responsive to my needs, I have been going to him since 2011, and I have been satisfied with his care. I have never felt to need to change primary doctors.
