Mar 02, 2021
I am writing this after 8 years. Dr. wick is best at diagnostic and treatment. we two experiences with him. First instance he saved my wife's life by not just diagnostic but following up in urgent fashion overriding the hospital staff. In second instance wife had bad acidity and nervousness. Thinking outside the box, he prescribed amitriptyline which did the work. He take interest in his patient's problem to the end. Thanks
