I can’t say enough good things about Dr Wirz and his staff! He was very caring he was very thorough completely explain to me what he was going to do three scenarios so that I was prepared. We prayed together before surgery and when it was all over luckily we were able to do the easiest procedure. And everything went great.

So nice to have a Christian-based surgeon who is confident yet is still aware of his patients concerns and prays with ever patient. Truly is amazing as a physician, a surgeon, and a friend.

Buyer beware. You'll windup fighting your way back from near death, if you are lucky. Three family members had him for a surgeon. Two are now dead and the third fights daily to live with Dr. Wirz aftermath.
