"Dr. Pence, herself is an excellent surgeon and did an outstanding job on my shoulder... I gave her a 4 star instead of 5 because I had a problem with her billing staff."
— Healthgrades"Dr. Wheeler was very abrupt and showed no empathy... His abrupt behavior and lack of empathy could have been due to the fact that I would not be a candidate for a permanent patient under his care."
— Vitals"Had a great appointment with Dr. Pence. She didn't give me great news, but she explained the diagnosis in detail. She went over my x-rays thoroughly with me and explained multiple options for treatment."
