See above and received the best treatment from him for my condition. The best ENT Specialist ! He’s is the 3rd ENT specialist that I have seen over the past several years and I strongly feel he has given me cause to believe that I can get in under control and live a somewhat normal life.

I have a rare condition and it’s difficult to find physicians who have encountered or know how to manage it. Dr. Wiet comes highly recommended among the local people in my Facebook support group, and I can see why! My husband is also a physician at CDH and his colleagues also suggested we seek him out. His practices are in line with everything we’ve read and I appreciate that he takes a conservative approach to treatment options.

See my response to the previous question. Before my visit, I had read some reviews for Dr. Wiet. One woman stated she didn’t care how far she had to travel to see Dr. Wiet, she’d gladly make the trip. Whatever her condition, she was very happy with the care he gave her. That review stuck with me and after my visit, I knew exactly how she felt and her review of Dr. Wiet.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
