In patients' words

"Dr. Wheat had immediately made me feel comfortable. Dr. Wheat's communication skills are the best. Your not just a number."

Healthgrades patient review of Dr. Heather Wheat

"He doesn’t listen and likes to play God. I hope he reads this review and really starts to listen to patients and their families instead of thinking he knows what’s best."

Healthgrades patient review of Dr. Mohammed Hamid

"The glowing reviews on here must be fake. I met with this guy in Stage 3 kidney failure and he literally did a test... said my GFR was okay so there was nothing wrong and sent me away. I wound up in the hospital a week later."

Healthgrades patient review of Dr. Richard Steinacher
