Dr Wenzke has been my doctor for 31 years. I have an artificial mitral valve, he's the best cardiologist around. I don't know how many times I've went to my appts and he would tell me he talked about my valve to a seminar he had been to. He was a wonderful and caring person, I'm so grateful he he was my dr. There's none like him, he's surely gonna be missed.

My sincere sympathy to Dr. Wenzke´s family. I worked with Dr. Wenzke for 3 years. I learned so much from him. He had great love for his family, his faith and his passion for medicine. He was the sole reason I was able to move to Columbus and continue my RN career at Ohio State Medical Center and live near my children and grandchildren. I will be eternally grateful for his support that allowed me to settle into my new life in Columbus. My life would not have been the same without his help. He was a wonderful person. I´m grateful that our paths crossed. May Dr. Wenzke´s family find peace in knowing that he made a difference to so many others.
