Review for Dr. Jaakkola
Once again, SouthCoast Health, the staff and Dr. Ensley were great. A doctor, who truly is compassionate, understands his patients and involves them in in their care. Great experience.

Review for Dr. Ensley
Office staff were pleasant and efficient. Reasonable wait time to see Dr. Wheeler. He listened to my shoulder problem and was quick to offer a non-invasive treatment plan.

Review for Dr. Wheeler
Rude and unattending. The doctor was an hour late to the appointment. He rushed the session and didn’t listen to the patient concerns. Total waste of time.
