Providence Patient
This was the worst experience I've ever had with a doctor. Went in for a consultation and left in tears.
Providence Patient
It was good
Providence Patient
The worst Doctor patient experience I've ever had. Dr.Wimmer would not listen to me or try to understand me when I was explaining my past knee experience. He was rude, rough and kept raising his voice at me. I left in tears and ask the receptionist is he talks this way to all his patient. She asked if I'd like to make a complaint, then handed me a card. I will never subject myself to his care again. I am 61 year's old and did not deserve to be treated the way he treaded me.
Providence Patient
Dr Wimmer is generous with his time and answers questions and provides options.
Providence Patient
Top level care all around
Providence Patient
Dr. Wimmer is rude, loud, and doesn't listen. I didn't feel respected or heard. I had more questions, but I gave up trying to communicate with him because he kept interrupting me and speaking over me. His manner of speaking was aggressive and overly animated and he spoke like he thought I was deaf. I had to hold my fingers over my ears he was so loud, but he didn't seem to take the hint. He was training someone and when he was waving his arms around explaining things, the guy he was training had to back away or risk being hit by his overly-animated way of communicating! I felt sorry for that student having him as a trainer! I could have gotten a shot for my pain that day, but his behavior and personality seemed uncaring, so I didn't trust him to care for me any further. I never met a doctor so lacking in compassion. I hope to never see him again.
Providence Patient

Providence Patient
This was a standard procedure checkup of an injury sustained eight weeks ago. I didn't see Dr. Wilmmer this time but his assistant. That being said, I was thoroughly impressed with my first and only visit with Dr. Wimmer eight weeks ago. Very thoughtful and explained everything in detail and responded quickly to all my follow up questions to the office on the phone in the following week.
Providence Patient
It doesn't get better than Dr Wimmer. He treats me like family. He should be treasured in this community so he doesn't leave.

Super amazing staff at Providence orthopedic I can't believe how efficient they run. We never have to wait and the doctors and the nurses always answer all questions in a beautiful manner not being rushed. I'm super happy that we have them in our community.
Providence Patient
I didn't like the Dr he was arrogant he didn't act like he was even interested in what I had to say ,he didn't come right out and say how my x-rays were I had to ask or did he even act like he cared when he did it was what do you want ? I Said will I get an appointment with my surgeon then he said yes then I asked him what about my pain he said I can give you an injection to help you for now I said ok he gave me the injection and started out the door and said wait a few minutes to see how it feels I had to use the rest room I passed him and said it fills a little bit butter he said ok and walk offf I left
Providence Patient
Thanks for the excellent service!
Providence Patient
I was one of the first patients of the day and waited a very long time, both for the X ray and for the provider visit. The provider was fine, but made me feel like I was complaining about nothing. That being said, he wanted to know the problem but did not let me finish telling him all the steps I took over the years to try to resolve this on my own. It felt like If he let me finish then he maybe would not have had that attitude. Ultimately I was fine with the next steps planned so maybe the provider had heard enough of what I shared for the assessment. The resident in the room seemed to give more empathy saying nothing than the provider. It wasn't terrible! Just disappointing. Something that can easily be worked on. Could have been just a bad day for the provider.
Providence Patient
I had a very good experience at the appointment. The radiologist tech was friendly and made me feel comfortable. The doctor seemed very competent in his field. He listened to me well and he explained what was going on clearly. Thank you.
Providence Patient
I saw x-ray of bone on bone in my right knee. Dr. Wimmer said come back when it's too painful and try shots. The ultimate remedy is knee replacement.
Providence Patient
I got the information I needed.
Providence Patient
Dr Wimmer was fantastic! Looked at my MRI results as soon as it complete, called me to inform me of the results, saw me in the office days later and was able to diagnose me and order PT right away. He sent me home with exercises to do to help with my issue and took time to educate me on what was going on and why. His service was top notch and greatly appreciated.

I don't know why it was hard to schedule an appointment. When I called I was told my regular doctor didnt send the referral yet. After the referral was sent I was called and they scheduled an appointment for me. Wait time was long in the waiting room. But once the nurse brought me back, things moved quicker. Very friendly care team and I felt comfortable asking questions and felt the doctor spent the time I needed with me to answer all my questions. THANKS!
