My first experience with him was great.. except for the fact that he tried to tell me he never got an email from my obgyn only to find it while having me in the office. I was so happy with the way my hand turned out that on my two week RN appointment to get my stitches out I asked them to please talk to Dr. Wheatley and get my other hand scheduled. He clearly wasn't paying attention on the phone on the 15th with me and then I receive a call saying my surgery is being cancelled because I'm too far along and they want to do it at a hospital. Okay fine. What's not fine is that he has now shown a complete lack of care or empathy to fix it me less than 2 weeks before I give birth so I can hold my child. Thank you for turning what should be a blessing into a nightmare.
