The entire experience was outstanding form the receptionist to the Dr. Wesonga. Doctor Wesonga was so thorough and compassionate during my visit with him as he always is.

03/16/2024

This was the first time with Dr. Wesonga and he was excellent. He is a great listener and very good doctor. I have been to four primary doctors within 2 years and I felt like I was just another number. They had very little passion and you were out of the office within ten minutes . You leave very frustrated because you felt left no one cared. Dr Wesonga cares about his patients and I have never been treated that well in alone time. I am truly blessed to have him as my primary doctor. I lost hope trying to find that doctor that cares about my well being. I just took another chance and I found Dr Wesonga. I have some health problems but the first day he reacted to my health issues. When I left I felt so good because I knew I have some one that cares about me. The first day all of staff was praising about him everywhere in building. Now, I realize they were right because he is a gem. I sat in my truck after the visited and was over joyed. The staff were great.
