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.

Dr Wenzel is outstanding
Dr Wenzel and his team are outstanding. They are caring compassionate and highly professional. He has spotted 7 skin cancers on me in my 20 years with him and removed them long before they became a serious problem. He stays up to date on all aspects of his profession. When my next facial skin cancer presents, I'm going to try some of the new technology that he has to remove it. They are very busy because he's the best in the region. He's also developing other doctors with him to run the business when he decides to retire perhaps 5 to 10 years from now. He's simply outstanding

Great doctor!!!
I have had a very stubborn skin condition for 36 years (stress can make it flare-up and start rejecting meds), & Dr. Wenzel has been my Doctor for over 25years. He has always listened to me & helped me with different options to help with my condition. I always look forward to my appointments and am happy when I leave as I know I am in good hands. Thank you Dr. Wenzel!!!

Dr. Wenzel's treatments are the most thorough of several dermatologists I have seen in my 79 years. He listens, he is highly experienced and effective.

Wow! I checked in at the front desk, It was there that the receptionist leaned forward to take my temperature on my forehead. I requested that she take my temp from my elbow or wrist, but she quickly stated their policy. The office manager, Lisa Avey stepped in and reinforced this policy and touted her medical expertise. I let Lisa know that my dentist accommodated my request and took my temperature in my elbow as I felt uncomfortable with the forehead reading. However, Lisa was unaccommodating. I did request that they take my temperature orally, but Lisa refused. Lisa Avey then mandated that I take the forehead temperature or leave. I was shocked and humiliated as our conversation spilled over to the other patients in line and the waiting room. I felt discriminated against and belittled. I turned toward the door and walked away carrying my cancer out the door. Later I called into the office and left a voice message for Dr Wenzel, but no return call. I will Never call again!

I had the worse experience ever. I went to have moles looked at and removed if needed. He told me they because you are old. He froze 8 moles and was very rude and unprofessional no bed side manner at all. He gave no advice on after care and just left the room. I was in total shock that a doctor would treat a patient the way he did.

Dr. Wenzel has been my dermatologist since this practice started. I would never ask for anyone else. In fact, if I could, I would see Dr. Wenzel for any medically related illness. By far my favorite doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Wenzel's for over 20 years. During these many years I have always been very pleased with the medical care I receive from Dr. Wenzel and his staff. Recently I was having so many medical problems; without a proper diagnosis- after my first visit with Dr. Wenzel he had the proper diagnosis and started treatment right away!!! Thank you Dr. Wenzel and your staff for excellent care and always being so kind and courteous.

I have had nothing but positive results with Dr. Wenzel. He has done several surgical procedures on my face and back, with outstanding results. For example, a couple of years ago one of my ears had literally started eroding away at the upper edge, and he very skillfully performed a two-stage surgery, with initial grafting of a skin flap from behind my ear to the outer edge of the ear, with perfect cosmetic results and no further problems. He is thoroughly outstanding.

I visited Dr Wenzel 3 years ago due to major hair loss-(half the volume in less than a year ). He said, You're old. Get over it. I also had small bumps under the skin on my face. He suggested that I learn to wash my face properly. He then asked if I had anything important to discuss like skin cancer and if not I was wasting his time. He spent less than two minutes in the room. In talking with several neighbors I have heard of equally obnoxious behavior on his part. 4* staff, Dr Wenzel, 0.
