| 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z | 5 February 19, 2018 | I made the appt. with cardiologist for approval for knee surgery. This was explained to the scheduler. Two days before original appt. I was told I needed to reschedule as not enough time was scheduled for pre surgery exam this was really disappointing since I had made it clear what the appt. was for. |
| 2018-02-17T00:00:00Z | 2.08 February 16, 2018 | waited 30 minutes in exam room |

| 2017-11-14T00:00:00Z | 0.42 November 13, 2017 | I plan on changing doctors. We are not a good match as far as philosophy or how to make decisions. I am unable to develop trust in this doctor.

We will miss him!! |
| 2017-10-12T00:00:00Z | 5 October 11, 2017 | Very easy to talk to and listened to my questions. |
| 2017-10-12T00:00:00Z | 4.58 October 11, 2017 | Dr Wilks seems like a nice doctor. I am fine with him. He is the third doctor outside my GP looking at my symptoms. Things seem much more compartmentalized than they used to be. |
| 2017-10-06T00:00:00Z | 4.17 October 5, 2017 | He not only seemed very knowledgeable, but he asked me a ton of questions to get to know me and my history, as well as an exam. I've had other providers that just throw diagnoses at me or medications without questions or even doing an exam. |
| 2017-10-03T00:00:00Z | 5 October 2, 2017 | Excellent. |
| 2017-09-28T00:00:00Z | 5 September 27, 2017 | General comment, not specifically for this provider. I don't mind an occasional request for information, but I'm getting requests to fill out surveys so often, I am about to begin ignoring all of them. |
