Patient Reviews
Mar 27, 2024
I had been suffering for 8 months with pain and unable to straighten my leg which made me limp. I had only been prescribed PT and a stretching gadget by my former Dr. Within minutes of examining me and my xray Dr Wheeler gave me a steroid injection and along with a regimen of icing and PT, I am pain free. It’s been miraculous.
