Emily Caroline Wheat, MD
She's caring and listens to concerns and addresses them

Dr Younker is amazing!

She is so nice and thorough. I am so glad she is now my doctor. I also loved how she asked "do you have any other questions for me". I never felt rushed. She is awesome. She took normal bloodwork in the morning and by the end of the day, she, herself, sent me a detailed message on the patient portal...wow, very impressive.

Dr Wheat listened to my concerns, then asked additional questions before presenting me with options for my care. I do regret that I did not ask for her opinion. She was very neutral when presenting options, which I appreciated, but it would have benefited me more had I asked for her recommendations k owing that she had treated others in situations similar to mine.

Dr. Wheat is professional and courteous; she does keep a distance so to speak, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable opening up, but I understand.

I love that she treats me like she’s known me and my health issues forever. I had been Dr. Piontek’s patient for over 20 years even following him to the Lake. I had great concerns about finding a new PC doctor. Dr. Piontek told me I would like Dr. Wheat. He was right! I really think she’s the best!
