Dr. Wike and his staff at the Park West Blvd location are amazing. I wish I were treated this well at every doctor’s office. My results are fantastic. Dr. Wike really takes the time to understand the location and severity of your pain. I can’t recommend him enough.

Wonderful staff ! They make sure you are comfortable and educated on what's going on. Dr. Wike is very gentle and talked through everything that was happening during my epidural steroid injection. I travel 2 hours from home to come to this clinic!

I've been a patient of Dr. Wike for about 5 years. I have found him to be both personable and professional. He has recommended treatments and physical therapy which have worked very well for me. I would recommend Dr. Wike without any reservations.

Always a great visit with Dr. Wike, Scheduler Sondra and Heather. All have a good sense of humor and make sure your concerns are takin into account and addressed. Gotta keep your own track of the Medicare 6 months between visits for Radio Frequency Ablation. So the patient needs to be responsible for keeping track to that. Love them!
