    Dr. Wisotzky is great. Listens, asks, thinks, provides info and recommendations, and takes action by writing references for example to PT. He didn't seem rushed.

    Good experience

  • Apr 28, 2026

    Dr Wisotzky was an EXCELLENT listener and kept asking me if there was anything else I want to tell him. This gave me space to go through all of my concerns and how I think they relate to each other based on all the things I had tried before coming to see him. He described different options for treatment and what would come first, second, third and where I could chose to skip a step. I felt heard, cared for and cared about and like we are on the same team towards resolving these challenges. I feel like I can trust Dr Wisotzky to offer solutions that make sense for me as an individual, even though he has seen my conditions many times before.
