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.

Kate wheeler is the best. She never disappoints. My visit is always clean and decisive. Always a very present help in a time of need

Dr. Wheeler is hands down the best, most thorough and caring Doctor I see. She takes time with me, thinks critically about any concerns I have, and is up to date on the latest research and data in the medical/science world. Dr. Wheeler and her staff consistently go above and beyond with my treatment plan. I want my daughter to see Dr. Wheeler when she is old enough for her thyroid issues. Thank you for being amazing, Dr. Wheeler.

Every staff member I interacted with was genuinely kind. Dr. Wheeler "listens" educates and obviously cares. She's smart and more than anything else I trust her. I would not recommend anyone else that needed an endocrinologist. The facility and my experiences there are a major step up from anything I've experienced while needing medical care in many years.

I have been with Dr Wheeler for almost 10 years. I love that she listens to me and works with me to make sure I am well taken care of. She is very responsive to emails through the FMH portal. I usually receive a response within a day, even on weekends. It can be hard to get an appointment, usually it's a long wait. I know to schedule well in advance and since she's so responsive to emails I always feel like I can get care or answers even I don't have an appointment.

She is the worse endocrinologist I have ever seen. She could or would not manage my medications correctly. She did not care I was getting worse under her care. She was more concerned about money I gather than whether her patient was adequately cared for.

Dr. Wheeler is patient, kind, & listens to everything you say. She respects my knowledge as a nurse, explains things thoroughly, & even draws pictures if necessary. Dr. Wheeler treats symptoms and not just lab values. I told 4 doctors I was miserable; but because my labs looked normal, they refused to treat me. The first time I saw Dr. Wheeler, she immediately recognized my hypothyroid symptoms & prescribed Synthroid. I felt the best I had felt in almost 5 years! She is AWESOME!

Dr. Wheeler is a phenomenal doctor that has a genuine concern for her patient's health and welfare. She asks me questions about what's going on with me before I even ask. She truly is a competent and caring doctor that wants the best for her patients. She has always taken the time to engage me in conversation and explain everything in complete detail so I always feel respected and care for when I leave. Her staff is a wonderful team of caring people as well.
