I was a patient of Dr. Wheeler until I saw his truest color. Where do I start? I had an issue with my neck and wasn't able to get it looked at because Dr. Wheeler said I hadn't met my deductible and what it would cause me. So I waited for the new year when my HSA started over again. He ordered me to have a CT scan and when the results came back. He said he couldn't make out the report and had no explanation for me, but recommended I see a surgeon. I felt he was running me on wild goose chase and therefore spending money unneccessarily without knowing why I would be seeing a surgeon. When I asked him to explain, he was very condescending and rude and very unknowledgeable. I felt he was brushing me off, didn't give a care about my concern at all and was only about "the money." He returned my phone call while I was out - and I asked if I could give him a call right back when I got to a quieter place - and he told me basically he didn't have the time and that at some we could catch up.… WTH. Needless to say he wasn't the doctor for me being that he was not concern, not willing to explore what was going on with my neck, and being very rude and not knowledgeable. I do not recommend this doctor!

He reminds me more of a used car salesman than a Dr. Not very trustworthy.

Zero wait time, friendly staff. Dr. Wheeler listens with compassion and is completely up to speed on complications that come with severe gluten intolerance.
