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.

Superb, and I will miss him as a provider since I have moved away. Dr. Wenger was very thorough in his initial evaluation and took a balanced approach to my concerns; i.e. genetic vs. environmental/external issues. He demonstrated compassion and flexibility with my both my issues and remedies. He wasn't afraid to pull the plug on something that clearly was not working or causing more distress than cure. Very easy to talk with, and good sense of humor. I rarely needed to wait more than 5-10 minutes to see him, and never felt pressured to wrap up in time. Receptionist also kind and attentive.

I went to Dr. Wenger for years to manage my anxiety and depression during high school and undergraduate school. He is a nice man but in desperate need of empathy and cultural sensitivity training. Not being able to leave space for clients of color sharing concerns around mental health and its relation to structural oppressions made all of my sessions lackluster. He also moved offices with no warning and I was forced to find a new provider for my medication which was stressful and unprofessional.

I was a patient of Dr Wenger's from 2002-2010. I had a lot of emotional problems stemming from teenage drug abuse as well as a lot of emotional dysfunction in my family. I was brought to see Dr Wenger by my father, unwilling on my part at the time, but Dr Wenger ended up being a great support and gentle guide to me as I figured out my way to becoming the person I am today. I think he has a lot of insight and a true desire to help people find their path to peace. Thank you Dr Wenger.

Kent is a very positive, thorough doctor who is easy to speak to and is nonjudgmental. He is brilliant at addressing many and varied conditions. He prescribed medicine that has kept me feeling better for at least ten years.

Great ability to diagnose after discussion and review of personal issues including any family history. Easy to talk to and attentive to your condition. Very good ability to recommend treatment therapy with effective medications.

I have been a patient with Dr. Kent Wenger for several years now and I go out of my way to continue as his patient because he and his staff treat me with 100% fairness and kindness. Two of my acquaintances began seeing him within the past year for the same reasons. In my previous experiences with OTHER providers, I was disrespected, misdiagnosed, and treated poorly. I have only good things to say about Dr. Wenger. I am a highly functional and stronger person because of Dr. Wenger's services.
