After 11 years of not even a scare of pregnancy, I found out I was expecting our third baby at 36 years old. We had moved cross country and my OBGYN that delivered my first two babies was all the way back in AZ. I am an anxious person with doctors and wanted someone like my old OB...so whatever Dr I picked had some huge shoes to fill. It had been 11 years since I had even been to a doctor.
Dr Wiese met with me first for a consult in his office(as I believe he does all his new patients) before doing my standard well women's exam which made me very comfortable. Not all doctors do this, it's just talk with a nurse, then see the doc for 5 seconds before their hands are all up in your lady parts which is so uncomfortable male or female doctor. I got super tense during the exam and he talked me through it - reminded me to keep talking actually lol it kept my mind off everything. He can be a jokester but serious when needed and I find keeping the room light helps my anxiety. I don't understand the women that get so upset over a couple jokes that they likely have made themselves amongst friends.
He has respected my wishes so far for my pregnancy even if he didn't agree with things. Like for the glucose test... I didn't want to take it because it made me so sick with my first two babies. He was going to let it slide/let me manage testing sugars at home but with my family history of diabetes he was obviously concerned. At my next visit a month later, staff shared with me a newer testing method Dr Wiese had come across using Jelly beans and they offered that instead. As much as I loved my Dr back in AZ, he never gave me any other options for this test. Dr Weise did. I passed my test and best of all I didn't get sick as a dog or almost black out!
Don't let a few comments in a Facebook group scare you. I chose Dr Wiese for his knowledge, experience, & cool/calm and funny demeanor. My kids come to some of my appointments with me and he jokes with them, talks to them about school, etc. Like he's an uncle or something. He laughs with my husband. & I just jump in their conversation and laugh with them at times.
He hasn't been seeing patients and delivering babies for 37+ years with 95% positive reviews by being crude, rude, impatient and uncaring. Sense of humor that's not everyone's cup of tea? Sure. But that's life. We aren't going to like everyone/everything. But the negative bedside manner comments...and those who can't laugh at his humor...I don't understand. I'd rather have someone that felt like family over a sterile, boring doctor you can't have a conversation with.
I for one know that my baby and I will be in good hands come C-section time & that's what matters most. I don't get comfortable with doctors and am not a fan of today's health system in general so choosing Dr Wiese wasn't a small decision for me. But a decision I'm glad I made!

For some this might not matter but it did to me. My last check up was very uncomfortable, he has zero bedside manner. I can usually joke and shake things off but my last visit he started to talk politics and ask my opinion. I told him I was uncomfortable with that and rather not. He continued to press it so I caved. I was scared cause the man was about to have his hand up me. Worst conversation ever and all I wanted to do was leave but couldn't. I'm all for men being in this field but be respectful of your patients. Politics should NEVER be brought up in any doctors office. I will never go back. I want to feel safe when I'm getting a yearly.
If your patient is asking you not to talk about a subject please honor it.
Wasn’t planning on sharing my experience but if this could save someone else from making a horrible decision, I had to. The reason I came to this doctor was because he was highly recommended (not sure why). First, he doesn’t remember his patients, every time I would go he would tell me different things. Which is extremely dangerous considering the fact that I had GD my last pregnancy and this pregnancy he either would forget or tell me it wasn’t nothing to worry about . Not until i finally started taking my blood sugar on my own and telling him it was getting pretty high at least my fasting one was. When baby started measuring bigger , he would start talking about a c section . Didn’t make sense to me since my first was small and I had him natural, I knew I could do it again. Don’t know what it is with doctors and pushing c sections !! To make matters worse he would keep pushing a c section on me and made an unprofessional uncalled for comment saying that all over the world women choose to have c section so they wouldn’t mess up their women parts . I was so uncomfortable and I didn’t care about that all. All I cared for was my safety and my child’s. My last visit with him I had concerns about pre term labor because I wasn’t feeling well and started having the same symptoms I had with my first when I went into labor . He said it was normal and rushed me out the office per usual (you are not in that office longer than 5 mins) . That same week I went into pre term labor resulting in my baby staying in the nicu for weeks . Part of me believes his negligence and lack of listening to his patients is partially why this happened. Could have also been the fact that he never took my GD serious until the last weeks. I’m terrified and traumatized by this experience, I never went back. Luckily , he was not in town when I went into early labor so I never had to see him again.
Dr. Wiese is truly one of a kind! He continues to go above and beyond. Words cannot express my gratitude. Now, I share the same room with him as he delivers my grandchildren!
