I waited 1.5 hours to be seen. My appointment was at 2 - I got in at 3:25pm. He saw me for a total of maybe 6 minutes. The operation is ran like sewage off the back of garbage truck - unintentionally and the byproduct of more garbage. No apology or acknowledgement from the doctor. I felt like the patients were the product and he was trying run as many of us through his assembly line as possible to cash in on us.
The lady at the front was nice, although I felt like she probably hated being the person having to deal with everyone complaining about wait times.

Dr. Wilker is amazing! I had lumbar decompression surgery at the end of July, I wasn't able to stand or walk much before and although it was a rough week after surgery and I am still recovering, what Dr. Wilker did was amazing! The staff is great, and friendly. I would definitely go back if needed. They are great with follow-up as well.

The entire surgical team was courteous and friendly. I was panicky in post op, the nurse calmed me and soothed away my nerves, what an angel. Before surgery, Dr. Wilker discussed procedure and made sure I was comfortable with it. He took the time even though he was extremely busy. Pre op nurse was considerate and always kept me informed on wait time.

Horrible horrible doctor. Absolutely zero bedside manner and total disregard for his patients. It is very clear that he is money driven and he doesn't put much thought into the welfare of his patients. He will only speak with you for 3 minutes TOPS and is very rude and short during those three minutes. He does not take responsibility for his mistakes and is not thorough. I had a lumbar fusion done by him and he never called once to check on me nor did he answer any of my calls the days following the procedure. I was having extreme complications after the surgery and ended up in the emergency

Dr. Wilker (Moshe) was slow to warm up but he did eventually. I sense that he is a quiet kind of guy. What he does is help them get back to normal! My lower back was hurting so bad, I wasn’t able to function. He did say that he would do what he was trained to do, and he did just that! I am now back where I was in 2014, but worse! He would have accepted me again as a patient but he no longer is in the network😫 crappy workers comp! So I am waiting for the attorney to get me a great surgeon to fix my back again, (no fault of his). I haven’t had the need to see him until now...so he gave me

My father has a spinal cord injury and can no longer walk. This was a result of a vehicle accident. A neurosurgeon at Little Company of Mary advised my against a surgery, citing only a 5% probability for improvement. The attorney representing my dad referred my dad to Mosh Wilker. Wilker gave my dad a 70% chance. Obviously, that gave my dad hope to walk again. Fast forward to the day of the surgery. First off, the surgery was scheduled to be performed at a clinic instead of a hospital. The anesthesiologist informed my family that my dad's blood pressure was too low and that would increase the risk

Dr. Wilker is a great surgeon. I believe that his care, even though it's brief, it is specific to determine patient's main concerns. He cares about his patients and has his staff to follow through each and every one of them. He works with workers comp, personal injury and PPO insurances; many times patients feel like they're care is not being prioritized but it's really the fact that Dr. Wilker must work with insurances who determine if his care is authorized or not, and this delays care. His practice has been in business for years, and many patients' lives have been changed

I had a Rotator Cuff Surgery on 5/1/17. 2 days after I started therapy!! So far I'm ahead of recovery schedule!! I already have 75% more movement without pain!! In addition to that, I have almost no Scars!! Very difficult to notice or even see!!! The staff was always friendly, and helpful. I was skeptical about him because of the low rating, but I've received nothing but A+ care and service!! If I need to do the other arm, I will without doubt see Dr Moshe Wilker again!! The nurses make you feel at ease and explain everything without hesitation.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME COMING HERE!!!! Incompetent doctor, incompetent office staff, incompetent office! First visit, he spent not more then a minute in the room with you before ordering a unnecessary MRI. Get one MRI and the office herrasses you everyday forcing you into second MRI that you declined stating that the doctor needs it. Make an appointment and the doctor does not even show up but a nurse. I made an appointment to see the doctor not the nurse. My educational degree is higher then your incompetent nurse. Dont waste your time coming here. This doctor does not deserve his degree and will

Awful service. I was referred here to get a cast for a broken thumb and saw a nurse for two minutes before I was told I should just continue to wear the brace I had been wearing. Never saw the doctor. I drove two hours out to this office and was treated for nothing. Completely disappointed. Disgusted by how I was treated here. Waste of time and money. Don't come here.

I would give him a -5 star if I could. He gives his diagnosis in less than 2 minutes without really having his patients go through any testing. He works for the system not the patient. He puts you on work w/restrictions so you can't go back to the job you were trained in even if every other doctor has insisted that surgery is the necessary step to recovery. This kind of practice is why our Health System gets a bad rap!!!

I, too, had a negative experience with Dr. Wilker.
The appointment time was so brief I was unable to ask my health care questions, he did not perform a physical exam but described in my medical report that he had and refused any options for rehabilitation for my disc herniation, other than surgery. He was very short with me and told me "you'll have to live with it".
Very unsupported and discouraging care.
I do not recommend Dr. Wilker.

I was referred here by my chiropractor because of a terrible car accident I was involved in and I was having neck pain that wouldn't go away. Everyone is sooooo above and beyond nice here! The nurses, the anesthesiologist, everyone! I had a great experience here with my procedure. I felt comfortable the whole time like I was in good professional hands :) I will definitely recommend this place. This place was far from where I live which is in riverside so I left two hours before my appointment and barely made it. The wait was kind of long but it usually is at any doctors office or hospital

I give Dr. Wilker one star merely for the fact that his receptionist at his Fullerton office was pleasant, and that yelp won't let me give him any lower...
This was quite possibly one of the worst doctors visits I've ever had in my life. I've had scoliosis since I was born, and Dr. Wilker, on my very first visit to him, starts arguing with me about the fact that I even have it, saying he doesn't believe me and that all of my information from my entire lifetime of research and living with scoliosis is wrong! The most frustrating part was how pretentious he was, as if he could

Dr. Wilker came into my life after a terrible slip and fall accident, that shattered my knee. Infection set in, and Dr. Wilker was tireless in his efforts to save my leg and save my life.
Seven months later, he continues to help me get through this horrific time, with outstanding care and caring.
His knowledge , patient concern, and kindness are amazing.
His entire office has been helpful at every juncture.
Dr. Wilker is everything an outstanding doctor should be, (and then some!) and I will forever be thankful for him.

I wish I could give negative stars. They make you pay in cash $300 up front for "insurance purposes"...I have insurance not sure why I have to pay that.
Then after a 45 minute wait as the first patient of the day the doctor saw me for all of thirty seconds to tell me he wanted an MRI.
Then I get the bill...that's right A BILL for another $300. So I have to pay $600 for thirty seconds of his time? I want that job.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS. There are better doctors out there. Not to mention his staff of course is totally inept.
