I’m thankful to be a patient of Dr. Wenske. Prior to Dr. Wenske, I was with the same practice for over forty years and my prior urologist retired during covid. I was panicked because I was used to a high level of care and expertise in NYC. I tried to work with several urologists before Dr. Wenske but I couldn’t establish the trust I used to have with my previous urologist. Dr. Wenske made me comfortable as a patient and I trust in his abilities.

I have been struggling with issues relating to a procedure done in Dec 2023. I've seen other doctors and have not felt like I've been giving any firm path forward, I am good with it is the way it is or there is hope, but feel like I have been in limbo. I went to see Dr Wenske as a third opinion. He is a pleasant and caring Urologist. He helped me sort out some issues and was a good listener and created a plan to go forward with some further testing. I would recommend him to others for their urological care.
