Dr. Wheeler was by far the best doctor I have ever seen! He gave me answers, explanations, and a treatment plan when other doctors couldn't even diagnose the issues I was having. He is extremely intelligent, thorough, professional, and personable. I am very grateful for finding him.

June 25, 2016Jane M.Verified patient
He has a lot of patients so he behaves as if losing one doesn't matter. He's VERY textbook and usually doesn't address issues on a case-by-case bases.

Dr. Wheeler was really friendly, respectful and made me feel completely comfortable! I never thought that my first visit to a gynecologist after all these years would be so easy and worry free.
I'm keeping this doctor...... :)

First experience with a male DR. and it was a great experience. I felt more comfortable than I was with my female DRs. He gave plenty time to discuss problems and concerns before physical exam. VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. Found problems that others overlooked. I will be coming back!

My appointment had to be rescheduled. The receptionist was very nice and told me right away. I appreciate that Dr. Wheeler wanted to give me significant time and attention for the initial consult.

So very kind, and so very knowledgeable. Very homey feel to the office, and the staff is incredibly friendly. Most at ease I've ever felt for a well-woman exam.

Dr. Wheeler is a fantastic doctor and has an angelic presence that both enlightens and energizes. He's the best person when in the worst of circumstances. Highly recommended if considering conception.

I just had my first appointment with Dr. Wheeler and was very impressed with him and his staff. Everyone was warm and friendly from my first conversation on phone with Marla (I hope to have remembered all of their names correctly) to my appointment Dr. Wheeler and the follow up with his assistant Patricia. He was very perceptive and knowledgeable and put me at ease. I will be making another appointment with Dr. Wheeler in the future.

I had a very pleasant visit. From the moment I walked in, what would normally be very stressful for me. I was put at ease. With a warm and friendly reception. Dr Wheeler was very knowledgeable and for once I felt like he understood what I have been going through.
July 1, 2014Bobbie F.Verified patient
Dr. Wheeler is honestly the best doctor there is. I recently relocated to Dallas, TX and the thought of replacing him has never crossed my mind. The 5 hour commute back to Houston is always well worth it.

He is the last Dr. I know that spends quality time and addresses a patient's questions and concerns and speaks directly to you and not with one hand on the door knob. He is brilliant.

My visit was very thorough. Dr. Wheeler always answers all my questions and lets me know the latest about my condition and how to treat it.
More than 1 year agoDC
Dr. Wheeler was very pleasant and thorough with my exam. He explained everything to me for me to understand what was going on. He also is very knowledgeable and helpful with questions I had, however, towards the end I felt a bit rushed but nothing too bad maybe because he didn't want to fall behind with other patients so I felt I still needed clarification but I understand he can't hold me in forever:)..

Dr. Wheeler has the unique ability to put you at ease during what most women describe as the "dreaded annual exam." He is thorough in his exam, doesn't hesitate to answer my questions and always insures I understand the importance of regular & consistent follow-up/preventative exams.
