“Amazing experience, no wait time . Dr Nicholas Wessling very professional, office staff attentive.
I would definitely recommend this office ! ”
Olga K.March 23, 2026
“Dr. Wessling was professional, efficient and attentive to my injury. His office honored my appointment with one days' notice. They took weight bearing xrays of my injured leg upon arrival. Contrary to my experience in the ER, he quickly and correctly diagnosed my injury (calf tear), and noted specfically NOT to stretch it (contrary to ER advice). He confirmed his findings with me through images, an explanation and an action plan for recovery. I am still waiting for my ER referral to come through; meanwhile, I already have a follow up appointment with him to check on my progress. He is wonderful.”
