Dr. Wahlquist performed my bi-lateral Achilles repair and I couldnt have asked for a better surgeon. From the start, he was very calm and caring about my condition. Dr. Wahlquist informed me of my options; weighing the pros and cons of of surgical and non-surgical care. After answering all my questions about the procedure, post-care, and recovery, I felt confident that Dr. Wahlquist would do a fantastic job as my surgeon. Right before the surgery I voiced my nervousness to Dr. Wahlquist. He smiled and said, Being nervous is perfectly normal. How about you be nervous for both of us, and Ill be confident for both of us? We got this. It brought my comfort and peace before a difficult procedure. My surgery went well and Im currently recovering. Dr. Wahlquist visited my room multiple times to check-in on my progress and how I was feeling. Genuinely the best hospital experience Ive ever had; patient or not. If youre looking for a highly skilled, friendly, orthopedic surgeon who will treat you correctly, Dr. Wahlquist is the right choice.
