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.

First Appointment
His staff was kind. Dr. Wetzel seemed to understand all that had been done previously, setting me up very quickly for an injection.

First Visit for Consult
Arrives at 0900 for appt, went to back with nurse at 0930, MD came in at 0948, was done with appt at 0952. Fastest, non-hands on FIRST appt I’ve ever had. But, I may be bias too,,, being an Rn who knows customer service. Hoping SECOND appt better.

Do NOT see this unprofessional, unethical doctor.
Do NOT see Dr. Ryan Wetzel. He waited until the middle of my new patient appt to glance at my MRI for all of 5 seconds. When I asked to schedule with a different provider for my next appt—HE BLACKLISTED ME FROM THE ENTIRE PRACTICE. I waited and waited for a call back—during that time, I was in the ER. He never even mailed a letter terminating the doctor-patient relationship. HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!!
