Patient Reviews
Aug 25, 2016
I have seen Dr Wetzel once as I was recommended by someone whom he treats. He is very professional and gave me hope since I have degenerative disc disease. He referred me to pain management to get a,series of epidural injection. I have had two of them and currently am not expierencing any pain. I say he has all the knowledge needed and his background speaks for itself. I trust him with my medical conditions.
