Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Physician.
Sincerely cares for his patients. Spend the time needed to hear and to provide options for treatment.

One of my favorites!!!
This doctor takes the time to evaluate you and he listens to what you're saying he does not make assumptions and I appreciate that. He also always ask if I am comfortable with the procedure or how we're going to move forward he also asked if I have any ideas or anything I would like to discuss to make it better quicker again Dr Wissel is great.

Although he won’t be my dr. He figured out pretty quick that my problem was in my neck not the shoulder. Just a great guy and it shows.

Excellent experience as patient
Dr. Wissel and his staff provided exceptional care from initial diagnosis through follow-up visits. My shoulder surgery went without a hitch and recovery proceded smoothly with very little pain throughout the whole process. I have completed Physical Therapy and am now basically back to full use of my arm and shoulder. Highly recommend this surgeon, staff, and facility.

Great doctor
Dr. Wissel has replaced both my knees this past year. He takes his time with patients and listens to concerns and questions. My incisions are almost invisible now and the pain is gone. I was bone on bone with severe bowed legs. Now I am straight again! Highly recommend Dr. Wissel!!

Best Surgeon Ever!!
Dr. Wissel has turned my entire life around. After years of pain and surgeons turning my away I found Dr. Wissel and he took pride in what he does and gave me my life back! I went from not being able to lift my arm without it dislocating to being able to pick up my children again and play with them after I healed from the surgery. Dr. Wissel is an amazing surgeon! He cares about peoples quality of life and actually works to help you improve it. I cannot express how grateful I am! Thank you x100,000,000,000,000

Hip Replacements, Knee Replacements
Dr Wissel has performed my hip replacement and right knee replacement surgeries. I have experienced many doctors in my senior years and rate him above and beyond any and all doctors or surgeons I have experienced. His surgical bedside care is exceptional, his patience in taking his time in His office visits to allow full comprehension of diagnosis, treatment options, and agreed on treatments is such a comforting phase of the overall experience. He will soon perform my left knee replacement and feel 100% confident I’m in the best hands I could be In.
