Sean was exceptional. He is well-suited to be in practice with Dr. Wadsworth in that they (along with Laura) all treat me with respect, genuine care/concern, and take a conservative and sensible approach to my health concerns. I appreciate the way they actively listen, partner with me on what's happening, and make me feel seen and heard.

My appt. was for a UTI. I was unable to give a urine sample, but very familiar with having this condition. Sean gave me a specimen cup and was told to take a sample to a U of R lab to be tested. When I arrived at the lab (I had to lock it up - Sean did not give me any locations - told me to look up a lab on my phone)! The lab had no orders in their system so no lab work could be done. The dr. office was now closed [...] I do not feel comfortable seeing Sean Whelen NP I do not think he is sensitive to my age group!
