The doctor earned the five stars. I was an hour early for my appointment and the front office made me wait an hour to be seen. (Not five stars) Dr. Wehrli told me I had been miss diagnosed about my left foot. After it’s treated IShow more will be scheduling surgery on my right foot. His procedure to repair bunions is less invasive, has a shorter down time then Lapiplasty surgery. I am very pleased and feel confident I have found the right podiatrist to repair my feet issues.

As an overweight, diabetic with neuropathy, while my foot care is not terribly complicated it must be thorough and continuous. As a former army medic, I can attest to the thoroughness with which my feet are attended to, and kept in good repair so that I stay healthy. I appreciate good medical care as my father was a doctor and my mother had a masters in public health.
