After seeing a few physicians who didn't diagnose a spinal compression fracture correctly five years ago, I found Dr. Wendel. I was in a lot of pain and cautious, but he listened and was very thorough with the diagnosis and treatment explanation. He earned my trust. So, when I fractured the same vertebra again, I went back to see him. He is knowledgeable, listens carefully, and explains things well in a kind manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
