Patient verified via Press Ganey

When I see Dr. Wholey he is usually very patient and kind and answers all my questions. At this visit, he was very rushed and seemed preoccupied. Kind as always of course, but seemed like I said, preoccupied and made me feel rushed. I think I spent a total of 6 minutes with him.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2026-01-03

Patient verified via Press Ganey

Dr Wholey was recommended to me by a friend. He was excellent. I switched from another provider who placed my stents 5 months ago. During my meeting with Dr Wholey, I felt like this was the first time my concerns were truly heard and understood.
