Gary R. Wisner, MD

I called this office for an appointment and it was scheduled quickly. I planned my day accordingly, changing plans, etc. I arrived at the office, completed paperwork, and within 25 minutes was notified by the receptionist the dr did not accept hills physician insurance plan. So why did they make an appointment and take up my time? This office is very unprofessional!

Like all the other folks here I would give zero stars if possible. He doesn’t even deserve that really. Multiple X-​rays at every visit. Office full of patients that wait three hours or more to be seen for 3 minutes. When the «Dr.» does come in he is rude, uses foul language and is extremely disrespectful to the patient and his staff. If he didn’t take medi-​cal he wouldn’t be in business because folks that have choices will exercise them — and it won’t be with him. Awful, awful service. If you are referred there, turn it down and find a competent Doctor. This guy practices «cattle call» medicine at it worst. Don’t know how he sleeps at night the way he rips off the system. No wonder we pay so much for medical insurance with a quack like him in business.

Omg why didn’t I read these reviews first! He was an idiot first I waited four hours with my 9 year old only to be seen for 2 minutes. He walked in before even looking at the xrays and said my son’s foot was broken then when I try to ask questions he told me to «be quiet and do as I’m told» then shushed me and told me not to ask questions. He also told me to bring my son back once a week for the next 3 months all with out even checking an xray. I decided to get a second opinion turns out my son’s foot was not even broken!

–This is my 1^st Unilocal review, if I was able to leave negative 5 stars I would give him this.
Please read this review and the rest of the reviews before going to this Doctor.

It will save you from wasting your time spending 3 – 5 hours and being insulted by him. I won’t go into detail since it was hard hearing a so called educated person being very rude it is a disgrace. He only wants to charge patients insurance by having multiple x-​Rays done in his office, when the exact x rays have been done and within 2 weeks. He does not care for his patients, exposing to so much radiation. I myself work for a doctors office with multiple physicians. I have never came across working or being seen by a doctor so unprofessional.
*****PLEASE DO NOT SEE THIS DOCTOR***

Hands down the worst place you could ever go to. I was one of the first patients and I still waited 3 hours. I could’ve been in and out of the DMV quicker than that. I waited 3 hours to see him for 3 minutes. He came and didn’t do any tests on me. (I had lower back problems). He starts talking a mile a minute and hands you paper after paper. He hands me four different prescription papers and somehow expects me to remember everything. He gave me one to get an MRI, pill prescription, physical therapy and something I am still unsure about. He prescribed all of this without doing any tests or speaking one word to me whatsoever. He is also extremely rude to his staff. Just a horrible place and so unprofessional. You want a doctor who cares about your problems not one who wants to get you out as quick as possible. DO NOT GO HERE TRUST ME AND THE REST OF THESE HORRIBLE REVIEWS

Gary Wisner is the WORST DOCTOR that I’ve ever had the displeasure of seeing. He should NOT be practicing medicine (and PRACTICING is all he seems to be doing). Keeps patients waiting –ON A CONSISTENT BASIS– for OVER 3 HOURS. Takes MULTIPLE UNNECESSARY XRAYS ON EVERY VISIT. The staff is rude. They don’t even allow the PATIENTS to use the actual examining table to sit during the examination –EVEN AFTER SURGERY! Instead they use it as a desk for their files! Completely unprofessional! And what is with him wearing the EXACT SAME BLACK CLOTHES EVERY DAY?!? Does he think he is Johnny Cash?
I think this guy is defrauding the health insurance. The State should pull his license.

This is without a doubt the worst medical practice I’ve ever seen. The waiting room was full of depressed looking people with every single seat filled and literally nowhere to sit. They had all been there 2,3,or 4+ hours. These people will make an «appointment» for you and then tell you it’ll be «about an hour» when the reality is there are 12 people ahead of you and you will be waiting more than four hours at minimum. The issue I have with that is that it prevents you from going to a doctor that actually keeps appointments and doesnt just book 20 bodies at a time and make them wait all day. If they would have just been honest with me I could’ve gone somewhere more competent. the staff is rude and with good reason. I’m sure every patient starts getting really cranky after spending all day in a cramped office with no hope of being seen.

Let me tell you, I am horrified at how this Dr treated his staff.

Walked it with about 20 people waiting. Filled out my paperwork. Someone went up to the receptionist to ask how much longer. She said he was still in surgery. I walked up and asked ‘did I hear you say dr is in surgery’ she said ‘yes’. I asked about rescheduling, she said the wait time is always like this. Told her I’d find somewhere else to go. Went back to my doc, never been more happy to get a referral to go to county.

On my first visit, I left after 3 hours of waiting. I was told that this is typical and the wait could go on for two more hours. Actually i heard a lot of negative feedback from the office staff but will not repeat it here, as it is technically heresay. I am SO glad I left without meeting Mr. Wisner.

Total joke. Waited ⁵¹⁄₂ hours for three minute talk. Did nothing but collect money from my insurance

What everyone else says is true. Find somewhere else to go. I waited more than once for more than 4 hours for my 2 year old son to be seen. Can you imagine waiting that long with a 2 year old? It gets old, fast. Then the dr is rude, mean and talks down to me. I work in the medical field, I’m not an idiot and don’t appreciate being treated like one.

I am quite upset that his patients are giving him good reviews. He is by far the most disrespectful doctor I’ve had meet in my life. He over books every day and I waited over five hours on one occasion. Usually it’s a over three hour wait to see him. He is constantly interrupting you even when you are trying to ask an important question. He is constantly talking about himself and things that aren’t related to the purpose of being there. He is in and out of the room in less than five minutes after ranting well more like yelling. One of the assistants that work with him was completely rude and asked me to get off the exam table when I was in pain and couldn’t stand nor sit so she can have a place to write her notes. She wanted me to lay on the floor and I had to tell her no. There is no way having the exam table to write is more important that the paciten’s well being, there is counter tops in the room and she even had a clipboard on hand. There is no way to correctly deal with this man. I am even more upset that he botched well his assistant my disability form by saying I was doing good when in fact if he gave me the time in day and listened would have realized I can’t work because I am in pain. He was rude to me when I went to see him alone, only talked to my mother when she went with me, only talked to my boyfriend who’s a med student when he went with me; this man just has poor manners. I am the only who one knows how much pain I am in not the other people in the room. I am not a child, I am a twenty three year old woman and deserves to be respected as so. He was constantly trying to scare me and telling me the worse of everything always saying the physical therapist I am seeing is wrong. But the physical therapist sees me three times a week and knows more than this man about my situation because he listens. Horrible communication with his xray technician; for example my lower back has a herniated disc but he took xray of only my legs one day the next only of my feet. By far the worse doctor and office I’ve ever been to. If there were negative stars I would give him that.

What the previous 2 reviews said are true. This guy is the worst doctor I’ve ever seen. He cares little or nothing for his patients and makes you wait for hours to see him. I went in after separating my shoulder to get surgery to fix the damage. I wasn’t wearing a sling and he actually insulted my intelligence. I told him that I didn’t wait for two hours to be insulted and walked out. I managed to get my X-​rays before he could intercede. What a jerk this guy is.

If ever you are referred to Dr. Wisner’s medical practice, please run, do not walk, run away! My wife’s first appointment resulted in her waiting 3.5 hours to see Doctor Wisner. I was at home that day, concerned about how long she had been away, so telephoned the office to find out if she was still there at 5:30 in the afternoon. The staffer who took my call laughed, said doctor was way, way behind, and yes, my wife was still there, waiting. Her experience was much like those of others brave enough to write a review: Dr. Wisner did not listen to her, when he spoke it was as if he was yelling, and this was only her first encounter with this surgeon — does that demeanor instill any kind of confidence in a surgeon who may use a scalpel on your body parts? Some future appointments were either changed by Dr. Wisner’s office or by my wife due to unforseen conflicts. What my wife received as a result was more that one letter from Dr. Wisner’s office informing her that she had «according to our records you have missed your scheduled appointment». The last letter my wife received about a missed appointment was adressed to some other patient! And please know folks, we do not miss appointments with doctors! At this point, my wife had lost all confidence in this doctor’s medical practice, telephoned the office and informed staff that she would not be continuing as a patient of Dr. Wisner’s. At the time of that telephone contact my wife requested that the xrays pertinent to her case be released to her so that she could pursue assistance from another surgeon. My wife was informed that staff would contact her regarding that request, but after weeks of no contact, she telephoned Dr. Wisner’s medical practice. Again, staff offered apologies, and in addition, my wife was informed that four (4) office staffers had recently quit Dr. Wisner’s practice (gee, I wonder why those folks quit?); so the excuse for the inattention was «we are new». After another 2 weeks of no contact, I walked into Dr. Wisner’s medical practice (there must have been about 20 poor souls in the waiting room, good luck to them!) and was informed that a fee would be assessed in order to obtain my wife’s xrays. I was with the assumption (and explained to staff) that the xrays belonged to the patient, paid for by medical insurance, and that my wife was the lawful owner of the xrays in question. I was informed by Dr. Wisner’s staff that the xrays actually belonged to the doctor’s medical practice, and that per the California Health and Safety Code, the doctor’s medical practice «may» charge a fee for «copies» of the xrays. I went on-​line and did indeed find that this was, per California Health and Safety Code 123 110 ©, factual. Not trusting Dr. Wisner’s medical practice to produce the xrays in a reasonable amount of time, I next drafted and hand-​delivered a letter informing his office staff that, per California Health and Safety Code 123 110 ©, they had 15 days to produce the requested copies of the xrays. After about another week’s time I had to pay $ 60 to to Dr. Wisner’s medical practice to finally get the xrays so that my wife and I could present them to another surgeon in Stockton. Our experience in Stockton with Sutter Gould Medical Foundation on Hammer Lane was a very, very different. My wife and I have had two appointments, and we were seen almost immediatly by the surgeon. This surgeon was very professional, listened to our questions, explained options that Dr. Wisner never suggested, and left us with a feeling of complete trust in his ability to treat my wife’s issues. In addition, when we mentioned to the intake charge about our experience with Dr. Wisner’s medical practice, she said she was not surprised — she had heard tales about how disorganized Dr. Wisner’s practice had become and was aware that staffers had recently quit the practice. When we told her that we had to pay $ 60 for the xray copies, she said she had never heard of such a practice! Run people, do not walk, run fast, run away!

Would give no stars to this guy! Makes patients wait over 2 hours then spends less than 5 minutes with them and does not answer questions, just walks out on you. Arrogant, rude, and condescending are a few words to describe him. This appt. was for my 87 year old mother who broke her neck & arm in a car accident 15 mos. ago, all of her appts. in that time have been like this for her, so I went along to see where things stand. There were 7 patients waiting ahead of us, every single one had x-​rays taken before they saw the Dr., my mother as well. However, they did not x-​ray her neck, they x-​rayed her back and hips, which had been x-​rayed at her previous appt. They were supposed to set-​up an MRI after that appt. but had not done it, they were supposed to do it again after this appt. too but 3 weeks later they have failed to do so. We are changing to a different orthopaedic surgeon that values his patients unlike Dr. Wisner. This is how patients need to respond to a Dr. Like this, with their feet, don’t tolerate the abuse and indifference.
3÷8÷13 I was just contacted by Dr. Wisner’s office telling me I had to remove my review or they were going to contact their attorney. I also read two other reviews written about Dr. Wisner and one review certainly took me to task for my review. All I can report is what my mother and I experienced that day and what she had experienced on previous visits. It is not my business how other patients have been treated and from the two other reviewers it seems like they have had different experiences and I am happy for them. Again, I am only reporting what we experienced and in no way is this «falsified». I wish all of Dr. Wisner’s patients well just as I do him and his staff, it was no longer an acceptable situation for my mother.
