Can you give less than a star? Wish I could. My spouse went through a Coloctemy and was given just a small amount of pain meds for home care. I understand the opioid epidemic but you have to be kidding me with letting people suffer. When she called three days later for help she was told no. He than preceded to tell her to head to the ER, if you must. but try to get through it. What happened to a doctors "Do no harm"? This doctor just doesn't give a crap about pain management. Anything major, don't use this guy unless you are a sadomasochist then go for it.

Asked me questions, listened to me & answered my questions. Didn’t make me feel uncomfortable at any time. Hopefully I never have to have surgery again but if I do, I will call Dr Wilcher
