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.

Excellent doctor
I thought I was facing back surgery for pain in my L2 and L3 region that was radiating down into my thigh. Fortunately, Dr. Wilke was able to inject me in just the right place to give me a lot of relief. I recently went back for my second injection and I am very pleased with the results from it also. I highly recommend Dr. Wilke without reservation.

The best..
Dr Wike and all of his staff are the best. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my back injections. His nurse Lisa is the best.

Medical Expertise and knowledge
Dr Wike's expertise has helped me avoid pain meds for a condition that caused chronic pain for decades. I would recommend him to anyone in chronic pain when trying to avoid drug dependency. My only concern is with the doctor's zeal for far right politics for which discussion has no place in the medical setting. Those recent policies put into place have hurt multiple Americans, some of those being his patients, their relatives, and community members. This atmosphere doesn't help when patients might already be uneasy about undergoing a medical procedure.

S-I junction injection
Very smooth process from start to finish. Explained what to expect during injection and brief follow-up instructions. Would have liked him to expand more on his recommendations if injection did not work. He hinted that he was not sure it would help but did not give his expertise as to why and what he would recommend besides PT.

A Real 'Let's get this fixed' Doctor!
He listened. He heard. He knew I was ready to get my problem solved. He trusted my shared previous experience that helped me tremendously, before I lost my past insurance coverage through a former employer. He agreed with that course of treatment. And finally, after 5 years of fighting for insurance coverage and doctors ignoring me, I now have the right insurance, a PCP ÀND a Specialist that are, both, willing to make it happen for me!

Absolutely best experience ever. Very professional
Very personal, he wanted to give exactly the right pain shot and at the right place in my back. Absolutely did not hurt at all. I was very surprised because I had two pain shots at another place and they were very uncomfortable. I was very pleased and it did help my back.
