Dr Wessinger did my total hip joint replacement on June 24, 2019. When I met with him in his office prior to the procedure, he reviewed my x-ray and discussed why I needed the surgery as well as all the steps involved leading up to the surgery, what to expect during those steps, the surgical procedure itself, and what to expect after surgery and during recovery.  I contacted his office prior to surgery with a question and left a message. Someone got back to me quickly and provided the information I needed. All of the staff associated with my surgery have been very profession, kind and caring. I could not have asked for better care or better success.
