Rob Wetzel's Online Review Report Card

Dr Rob was the most caring and compassionate Dr. He took great care during my dad's surgery and stay at gvmh. If you read these reviews Dr Rob thank you..

Compassionate, a physician who listens to his patients and answers all of your questions and concerns, values your time as well as his, keeps you informed of all tests and follows through. Stays abreast of the developments in his field and applies that to his patients. Intelligent and concerned. A gem of a person and an outstanding physician.

Incompetent. Poor surgeon. Malpractice filed!

Did surgery on my mother and she ended up with an ileostomy and kidney failure.  Her life now revolves around doctor and hospital visits.  This so-called doctor did a  hernia surgery that should have been more than routine.  Our lawyers have since found out that he was sued for a malpractice death. Run from this surgeon.  We are filing suit and know of another current one.

Would recommend against using him as a surgeon. Doesn't explain things well.

Family member underwent what was to be a routine mesh hernia repair. She ended up KUMed fighting for her life because he punctured several holes in her intestinal tract then did not catch it during a second surgery. She now has a colostomy, is in kidney failure, and faces a life of medical problems. If not for KU she would be dead. Surgeon there sais there was a 100 percent chance of that. Malpractice

I've only had two instances with Dr. Wetzel, both of which were direct referrals from my primary physician. I've never had to go to his office as I believe he is a partner in my doctor's practice. His work has been excellent and I am hoping to have some more work done in the near future.
