This was my first appointment with Dr. Wichienkuer and my first visit to this practice. Everyone there was courteous, kind, knowledgeable, and just plain delightful. The place could use the expertise of an interior designer, though! Or, as one of the staff pointed out, a complete remodel. :-)

She always listens to & answers my questions. She provides excellent choices based on my history and her medical expertise. I update her through messages on MyChart. She reminds me if I need to get recommended tests. She is the best primary care that I have ever seen.
