Dr Wheeler is a very professional, caring and compassionate physician. He's thorough and explains things in layman's terms. He's an asset to the medical community. I highly recommend him.

Said I needed surgery for an anel fissure....went to the Mayo Clinic and they said that there was absolutly no need for surgery. Mayo fixed my problem on the spot. Stay away from conventional doctors is my best advice.

The best. Took his time and really cared about you as a person. He wouldn;t open me up because it could cause more harm than good. He is also going to be checking with other doctors about my care and how I am doing. SUPERB

Based upon the recommendation of my gastroentrologist, I set up an appointment with Dr. Wheeler to have a Nissan fundoplication. I had no problem with the requirement to set up a separate appt just to discuss the procedure. He required invasive, painful pre-surgery tests to determine if I was a good candidate for the surgery, but then advised surgery before even looking at the results. He did not do so until I specifically asked him to. I came to the pre-surgery information appt having researched the surgery and with a list of questions. He perfunctorily told me that he didn't have time to talk to me about the surgery (even though that was the entire purpose of the appt), so if I had questions, I needed to make ANOTHER appt. He was the quintessential negative stereotype of the arrogant surgeon. End of story? I had the surgery - it was a failure, and I am worse off now than if I had never had the surgery. I am now scheduled to go to Mayo Clinic to see if they can fix his mess.
