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.

Dr. Wagner was so kind and helpful.
He helped change my husband's mind about surgery. I would recommend him anytime.

Exemplary
Dr. Wagner is professional, thorough, forthright and genuinely vested in each patient. His assistant Emily mirrors Dr. Wagner’s values. I left feeling I was in fully capable hands.

Patient
When I first meet Dr. Wagner I was in the hospital and very sick, I needed surgery that really couldn’t wait. He was kind, understanding and sympathetic to my situation. He performed the surgery needed and it went well. I now do my follow up appointments at his clinic, his assistant there, Emily, is also great. I still have another surgery down the road but we are making a plan. He is honest and straight forward, putting my well-being first to achieve the best outcome. He takes the time to explain what is happening and what steps are next, as having surgery can be kind of scary for most. Having a skillful surgeon like him helps to ease my worries. He is a great doctor and a great person!

Dr Wagner performed my surgery on January 14, 2020 and did a great job. He stressed the importance of teamwork through the entire process. He offered so much encouragement even though it looked to be a very difficult procedure including a cancer diagnosis. I can’t thank him enough for a job well done. Dr Wagner definitely deserves a five star rating ++++ He gave my family and I a new lease on life and I’m so happy he was my surgeon! Thank You!!

I would highly recommend Dr Wagner. He has a warm personality and he is compassionate. He preformed a bowel surgery on me Feb. 2016 and a colon surgery on April 2016. His bedside manner is exceptional. I feel better then I have for years.
