James Wheless's Online Review Report Card

My daughter has seen Dr. Wheless for 12 years. We think he is the best in Tennessee. Thank you Dr.Wheless for you service Sir.

Dr. Wheless cared for my daughter back when he was with Herman hospital in Houston,TX. He continued to work to try to control her seizures and introduce us to the VNS implant. She is 23 yrs old and has been doing quite well since she has this done at an early age. Highly recommend. Sincerely the family of Alyssa Bernal

My son was diagnosed with epilepsy 4 years ago and had been medicated to keep the seizures suppressed. He would often have breakthrough still. Dr Wheless was very aggressive and thorough in his testing and diagnosing of my son and recommended him for surgery to remove a brain tumor. He diagnosed my son to have an operable brain tumor. He worked with Dr Boop(best neurosurgeon) and my son’s tumor was safely removed within 4 days after arriving here to Memphis! He was very thorough with testing to ensure that it was indeed an operable tumor that would not leave any deficits. Can’t say enough about Dr Wheless and Dr Boop and staff! They are the best!

This is a wonderful facility that has amazing doctors. Dr. James Wheless was the most amazing physician I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. My son had started having 10+ nightly seizures at the age of 3 and the outlook was looking kind of grim due to a possible diagnosis that the prognosis was very devastating. He was the first physician that looked me in the eye and actually asked me what I thought and made me feel included in the whole process. Within a week Dr. Wheeler had him admitted into the hospital for extensive testing and determined that the prognosis we so feared it would be, was ruled out. This was approximately 10 years ago and this experience has stuck with me throughout everything in our lives. Any time I come across a child that has a seizure disorder that is not controlled, I point them in his direction. The way Le Bonheur treated us, from the moment we walked in the door, was nothing short of royalty. That's how they made us feel. I truly thank them and Dr. Wheless from the bottom of my heart. My son's life and ability to enjoy the little things is because of this man and the care we received here. God Bless you all!

Words can not describe how thankful my family is for Dr. Wheless. We drove 7 hours to see him. After my 12 year old had a completely normal life, had her first seizure then later was diagnosed with epilepsy, our world got turned upside down. He was so compassionate and caring. Not only that he was hope, at that point an ounce of hope was all we wanted. He gave us that and so much more. He truly is a great Dr. I did my research, he's who I trust my child with.

Dr. Wheless is not only a great neurologist but also one my forever heroes. He has saved my sons life numerous times. He is thorough and very personable. My son always gets a high five, a fist pump or acts silly somehow with the doctor which calms alot of my childs anxiety. It is a HUGE blessing to have had him come to Lebonheur when my son was so young as we together fought chronic seizures due to tuberous sclerosis. Constant seizure monitoring and 4 brain surgeries later my son is doing great!
