Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very personable
He is always very friendly. I can tell he has looked at my chart ahead of time, and knows the history of my visits to him. He has always taken time to answer any questions I have.

Successful recovery from severe arm fracture.
Dr. Wait is an excellent & professional orthopedic surgeon who repaired and stabilized my fractured L arm. Afterwards he offered great referrals for treatment and therapy to restore the full use and function of the affected limb. He was patient and thorough in answering all of my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend his practice for orthopedic care.

Hip consult
I really appreciated his honesty in regards to my treatment plan after reviewing my MRI results. Although, I would have liked to have spoken with a hip replacement surgeon, which I was under the impression he was when scheduling the appointment. When reviewing his credentialing and skills online it makes it seem as if he specializes in hip replacement procedures. It was an unnecessary step in my treatment process to be seen by him, had I understood his specialties online. It wasn't his fault by any stretch clearly but maybe in his online profile it can clearly state he doesn't perform hip replacement surgeries himself.
