Within last 5 days I've sent 2 texts & 1 online form with zero response. I had a billing issue recently and I was unable to speak with their billing department.

Their patient portal has never worked for me and when I've asked for help they give same useless response. I was referred to Dr. Rife at Eisenhower Desert Orthopedic, appointment in 2 days.

They had the wrong phone number but when I asked why they didn't send an email she said they didn't have access to it. They sent many emails about confirming appointments. They made me an appointment in Palm Springs with a different doctor. The day before my new appointment they emailed me and let me know because I was not happy with the office staff she was canceling all appointments. Good riddance. They are rude and very unhelpful. It's not just me I have seen the way they treat other patients. Save yourself the stress and indignation and go somewhere else.

He gladly answers questions and offers a variety of suggestions for aftercare when needed. His staff has also been with him a long time - that says something very positive about him as an employer.

They have thanked me and reported that they too are very pleased.

Unlike my regular doctor who has become too busy, and the front desk which is not well run, Dr. Phillips was found to be personable, listened with patience and far better explained the pain issues. He recommended a different type of orthotic (OTC) versus the $500 custom and uncomfortable orthotic made by previous doctor. Dr. Phillips was chosen because of his high Yelp reviews and this is one more to add to his well deserved reputation.

I am used to being seen quickly and getting an appointment with a doctor in a reasonable amount of time. I understand it is different here. I have used their emergency room once and was severely misdiagnosed. It turns out I actually had to have back surgery when they kept telling me I was basically making a big deal out of "nothing "and i'm sure they thought I was seeking pain meds. Imagine my surprise when I went to a doctor in the Los Angeles area and he told me what idiots they were in the emergency room. I was scheduled for back surgery right away. As you can see, I still haven't gotten over it lol .So never go to their emergency room. That being said ,the orthopedic center is completely different. I had no problem getting an appointment after my PMD sent a request for an orthopedic to see my knee. I was seen on time and everything was very professional. Dr.Diltz was great. I felt like a fool coming in for what I thought wasn't a big deal, but it turns out it could be. He never talked down to me, never made me feel like I didn't know what I was talking about like some doctors do. I have a follow up with him to review my MRI and I am looking forward to it. It's nice to have a Doctor Who listens to you and has some compassion. The only reason I dropped a star was NOT for the doctor. It was just the wait time. I had to wait about a month and a half to get an appointment with the doctor. I'm definitely not used to that, but like I said it's different here in the desert. I highly recommend Dr.Diltz. Also, their MRI staff in their orthopedic center is fabulous. So professional! saw me on time. They were great. Absolutely recommend

Sounds right. i mentioned I have some gel for arthritis. She rudely said it is not arthritis but tendinitis. The gel I have is the one she recommended but it is for arthritis.

Dr. Wehrli and his staff are amazing! I have been seeing Dr…read more Wehrli for several years now (I am a "well-managed" diabetes patient.) My experiences on each and every visit have been wonderful. Even when the waiting room is full, there is not the type of usual wait time experienced in doctors' offices - patients are moved through with courtesy and efficiency. The staff are friendly and professional, and most have been there for the entire time I have been a patient (which tells you a lot). Dr. Wehrli himself is a fabulous doctor and surgeon. I recently had a "right hallux amputation" (i.e., I had my right big toe removed) by Dr. Wehrli due to a longstanding systemic infection which had put me in the hospital for three separate operations. Dr. Wehrli was able to save the ball of my foot, which will make a HUGE difference to my recovery and ability to walk naturally once healed. I cannot say enough about what a great doctor he is. I am someone in my 70's who dislikes conventional medical practice (and many doctors) but I absolutely feel comfortable discussing my situation with Dr. Wehrli, enjoy the fact that he will stay and answer questions no matter how busy he is, and I trust him totally for his skill, professionalism and genuine concern for his patients. A wonderful member of his profession; highly recommended.

On November 10 , 2025, I had an appointment with Dr. Ben Wehrli. I had seen him several times…read morebefore then. When I had last seen him, he said if I had future needs for my feet, to come see him. When I arrived at the office and said I had an appointment with him, the desk person said, in an abrupt manner, "he's not in!" When explaining that I had an appointment with him she became very nasty and actually abusive: " I told you he was not in!" I had made my appointment specifically with Dr, Wehrli quite a bit earlier than November 10. I was assigned to a younger less experienced doctor. He seems very nice but certainly not as experienced as Dr Wehrli. X-rays were done of my foot. I never received a report from a radiologist. I never received any copy of the X-rays. I never received a podiatrist evaluation of the X-rays. I never received a diagnosis of my foot condition, I never received a recommendation for treatment of my condition. Nothing in writing post exam. On my way out, he merely said something like, "seems good." I have tried many, many times to reach someone who could help me. I almost never got past the front desk. I left message after message at the front desk for both Rosie the office manager and the young doctor who treated me. I spoke with Rosie briefly twice. Each time she said she would send me my documents and have the young doctor contact me. I never received any documents. He finally called me called and left a message six days ago. He did not leave a direct number. Just the front desk number again. I called him back but he has not called me. The attitude in this office is one of total uncooperativeness, rude and insulting behaviour, and nothing like what I expect from a physician abiding by the Hippocratic Oath of professionalism. I always found Dr Wehrli to be competent and with a nice bedside manner. My happiness with this office ends there. His running of the office is shocking to me. I now find that probably the only way I will be able to obtain my documents is to file a complaint under the federal HIPAA Act, which will take time and effort just to obtain my medical records currently in their possession which they refuse to provide to me. Why the culture of this office has declined so much is unknown to me. I will move on to find another podiatrist and start all over with my foot problems. They will need my past podiatry records.
