I feel extremely fortunate to have Dr. Wichmann and his team as my care providers. He is so patient and kind and.listens to all my questions and worries! I trust him to keep me in the loop about my condition. He never rushes the appt and offers more than one solution to my situations. I'm probably not his favorite patient, as I tend to be a bit of a rebellious senior Citizen and not good with change. But he is always kind and thorough and patient with me and my questions!

Dr. Thomas Wichmann is my doctor. He is the best of the best . He NEVER acts like he is in a hurry and really listens to my concerns. He responds to my questions on "my chart" in a very timely manner. I'm so glad he's my doctor.

He listened keenly, and actually wrote his notes on paper instead of filling out a form on a computer, or using AI to compile his notes

Dr Wichman talks with patients at their level of understanding, and does not talk down to them as many doctors do. He also takes enough time to listen to their questions and concerns. Excellent
