Alexis A. Wiesenthal, MD

Dr. Wiesenthal is the best doctor I have ever had. I get very nervous and uneasy going to any kind of medical facility, but my visits with Dr. Wiesenthal are great. She has the best bedside manner and genuinely seems to care about each patient (my husband sees her too). I have seen other reviews complaining of having a long wait at her office. Although I’ve never had to wait long, I can see that she may get behind as she always takes the time to listen to any of my concerns and answer any questions I have. I never feel rushed or leave feeling confused. She always thoroughly reviews any previous labwork/​tests before I come in and goes over them with me, explaining everything in a way I can understand. I’ve personally never experienced any issues with the office staff either.

Don’t be afraid to change the way you approach a doctors appointment. Take your time, plan a half day if need be to focus on your health and take advantage of visiting with a doctor who takes the time to listen and think and respond to your individual concerns! Dr. Wiesenthal is worth the call back to make an appointment. I prefer this over a quick phone call, long wait, and a too quick visit with my previous physician who wasn’t really paying attention to the fact that every one of us humans are different. I don’t need or want the latest prescription medicines slapped on me before I finish my sentence, do you?

I actually had a really positive experience.
I really liked that when she sat down with me she actually looked at my paperwork and addressed all the things that I was concerned about that I had written down. I’ve never, ever had a doctor do that. She also seemed like she genuinely cared about helping me. I will definitely be keeping her as my doctor! ^_^

I used to really like going to see Dr. Wiesenthal. When she was in practice with her father, things were great.
Once she moved to her own practice a few years ago, however, things went down hill.
If you need to see someone quickly, this isn’t the Dr. for you. It can take a week to get in. On the other hand, she WILL do a short phone consult if it’s a sinus infection or something like that.
She’s gotten to where she’s chronically late, though. The last two times my husband has gone, he was supposed to be the first appointment of the day and he had to wait for her to get there and open the door.
I just tried to make an appointment and got the phone tree and a message to leave times that I’d like to come in and they’d get back to me. This is kind of a regular thing as I think it is just her and one or two assistants in a busy office. I don’t know. I just really like having someone answer the phone.

I have never had such a negative experience with a doctor in my life. It is incredibly difficult to make an appointment for ANYTHING unless you are willing to wait a week to two weeks out (God forbid you have an emergency and need to see someone same day). But hey! Don’t worry they’ll tell you go to an Urgent Care because you are just THAT special to them. I have no idea how this woman has been rated «Most Compassionate» yet can’t even return a patient’s phone call in a timely manner for an over the phone assessment (yes, if she is busy she’ll see you over the phone — but for a hefty price). Don’t waste your time seeing this woman. She doesn’t give a crap about you or your medical problems. She merely wants to fill up her schedule every day.

I was a little uncertain about going to see Dr. Wiesenthal at first. Her office is very busy and when I called to make an appointment, it was clear that the person I spoke with was in a hurry. She almost hung up on me before I could tell her why I wanted the appointment. Also, it’s a bit difficult to navigate the Med Center (Dr. Wiesenthal’s office is in Plaza II). Despite this, I think I’ve found my doctor. I would advise anyone to get into Dr. Wiesenthal’s practice while she’s still getting established. She actually read the list of supplements I take and discussed why I take them and whether they are medically necessary. I’ve never had a doctor even glance at the paperwork I filled out, let alone talk about it with me. She gave me some pragmatic advice and was very easy to talk to. My friend that recommended Dr. Wiesenthal is in a very different state of health than I am, but also had a great experience and has been very happy with her care. Be forewarned, it can be challenging to get ahold of the nurse (I wanted to discuss my test results), but when you do, she is wonderful, very kind and will take the time to explain what everything means.
