Bruce Wilhelmsen's Online Review Report Card

I was referred to Dr. Wilhelmsen by my family Doctor. He explained all the XRAYS to me, and why I needed to go see a back doctor. He was very straightforward which I love and found humor in, I'm sure after meeting and talking with him that if he could have helped me with my problem I would have trusted him.

This Dr. was very concern about my health. I would definitely recommend him.

Extremely rude. In a nutshell, I was told to take ibuprofen and follow up in two weeks. That I should be fine. When I stated that the Dr that handled my Ed visit strongly suggested that I see an orthopedic Dr within two days, bc he strongly believed that I had severe rotator cuff damage, he first said that I was too young to have such issues (I'm 38), then he asked if I had seen a "REAL DR AT THE Ed OR JUST A PA"". I walked out in tears. I still can't lift my arm to even brush my hair and my husband has to help me get dressed. I have never felt so insulted in my life. I have always held such respect for Dr's bc they are supposed to be healers. This man literally made me doubt ever seeing another Dr. Please don't waste your time and money on someone that doesn't care about you as a patient. Since that visit, I have scheduled an appointment with an entirely different office. It's a shame bc I have heard some great reviews about other Dr's at that office, but he is a terrible representation of Orthopedic East.

Our son hurt his wrist and Dr W saw him that afternoon. Our son has high function autism and ADHD, and will talk any head off, so I thought this could be interesting (after reading the other reviews). X-ray was quick but the wait for the Dr was long, so we stayed busy playing and ordering dinner. Dr W spent most of the time talking to and listening to our son. He also explained everything we needed to know and do for his wrist, and answered all of our questions. He was pleasant & funny. Gr8 staf

I can not tolerate a doctor that is rude and makes others feel small. I do not recommend Dr. Wilhelmsen.

He is rude and just an awful person. A doctor should not make his patients feel inferior and belittle their injuries. Seek medical help somewhere else.

WONDERFUL DOCTOR. I WAS IN AN AUTO WRECK IN 2002 AND ANKLE CRUSHED. WITH HIS EXPERTISE, MY LEG WAS SAVED AND I WAS ABLE TO WALK AGAIN.

Dr. W. spent a long time with me and carefully explained and re-explained my options. He was prompt, pleasant, caring, and had a nice wit. Refreshing to have a doctor take time with a patient.

POOR MANNERS!!!!!!!!

In a nutshell:Dr. Wilhelmson ordered unneeded tests for me. I refused because I am pregnant and he charged me for them anyway. As soon as he realized he couldnt get $ from me for tests, be immediatly belw me off.He spent 10 minutes only with me, and during that time he insulted me, interrogated me, mocked me for being pregnant, and I ended up walking out crying. He told me that I have nothing wrong and no injury...he came to that brilliant diagnosis without looking at any of my previous tests. He had the nerve to charge me $140 for the visit. He didn't diagnose me, treat me, or refer me...he charged me for enduring 10 minutes of insults. Save your $ and go to a Dr who cares! This guy is a joke!
