What stood out about the visit? the lack of compassion, the lack of guidance, the lack of a plan to help the patient. Nar a goodbye but just walked out of the exam room with no regard to the patient's pain and suffering and the need of his professional help.

My son (the patient) and I listened as Dr. Merrick Wetzler told a young girl (somewhere around the age of 6 or 7) that he would tickle her until she urinated in her pants if she didn't do something. He had been tickling her before making that threat. Dr. Wetzler then stated that he couldn't tickle the child's mother or he would go to jail. Dr. Wetzler stated that my son wasn't using his crutches correctly, but did not provide adequate instruction on how to use the crutches. Dr. Wetzler poked at the area of my son's fracture ... read more

I would definitely recommend Dr. Wetzler. He’s straight and too the point. His surgical team is amazing along with his office staff. I’m glad my physical therapist recommended me to him.

I saw Dr. Wetzler twice for a knee injury and found him to be completely unprofessional both times. He never introduced himself to me nor asked me my name. He barely listened when I described my injury and symptoms, and seemed dismissive of them because I'm "middle aged and not an athlete." He was condescending when I practiced a breathing technique to work through the discomfort of the cortisone he injected into my knee. Twice during my second appointment he left the exam room without explanation, telling me when he returne... read more

I had a poor experience with Dr. Merrick Wetzler. I had a long term pain in my right shoulder. He had me do some range of motion movements but he did not examine me or feel the area I was having trouble with. He had X-rays done and told me it was not arthritis; it was a “trigger point”. He then dismissed me and told me to come back in a week if the condition had not improved. I had been in pain for 6 months and have to pay for each visit due to my high deductible medical insurance. He didn’t prescribe any exercises or stretc... read more

He diagnosed me with gluteal bursitis. He first injected cortisone injection on the right buttock, and the pain was reduced ; then a couple of weeks later, he injected cortisone injection on the left buttock. This time, as I stood up, I could put the foot down on that side . It took me 10 second or longer to control that foot. I googled and that episode appeared to be sciatic nerve damage.a MRI of the pelvic showed bilateral sciatic lesion as per hospital specialist report. I have been in excruciating pain irradiating from l... read more

Did not enjoy my two experiences with him at all. I’ve had chronic back pain for nearly three years and finally my doctor said to try an ortho so I did. My first visit I try to explain what’s going on and immediately he says let’s do an X-ray and then two min later oh let me give you a trigger point injection. I tell him about my MRI and he says it’s nothing you just need to fix your posture. I come back in two weeks to let him know I still have pain he offers nothing except for “make sure your posture is straight” and also ... read more
