Amazing group of people who care in making you feel better. If you have been told to live with the pain, take medication or have surgery you need to visit Harbour Medical Center in Stuart immediately. My back pain and sciatica had become unbearable. From the moment I walked in the door , I got the impression I was surrounded by family. Dr Wydler is a fantastic communicator who wants you to have a better quality of life. A very rare individual who cares about his patients and is sincere. Once your treatment plan is completed, he still has you come in for adjustments once a week. If I could give Dr Wydler and his staff 10 stars, I would. God Bless Harbour Medical Centers!
