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.

Efficient and caring
Dr. Was very caring . He even told me that he will recommend me for medication patment assistance because my medicine is very expensive.

Referring friends!
The office staff is so kind and polite-along with being very knowledgeable. Dr Wagner is very experienced and caring with his patients. He took time with me and noticed an area of concern which I am so grateful for after going through cancer treatment last year.

Knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate
Dr. Wagner is truly one of the best doctors I have met with. He’s very knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. He followed up on all my referrals personally by calling the doctors and making sure that I’m taken care of. I recommend him for anybody who’s looking for an oncologist. You are most definitely in the best of hands when you’re in his care.

My first visit and discussion of cancer with Dr. Wagner. His office staff were friendly and attentive. He clearly explains all details, he’s personal and methodical, gives notes, and listens intently. I have no doubt that he is providing the best course of treatment for my situation.

Cancer diagnosis
Dr Wagner is knowledgeable, attentive and compassionate. He explained my test results and diagnosis clearly and answered all of our questions in a way we could understand. He had to give us a diagnosis we definitely were not hoping for. But when I left the office, I felt good that I knew what the situation was and that it was a good game plan to address it.

I have been calling to get my mom started on treatment. I was told the person that takes care of authorization for treatment would be in after 12:00pm. I waited for a call back and nothing. I called the next day first thing morning and was told AGAIN that the person that handles authorization for treatment wasn’t in and not sure what time she will be in. We got tired of waiting and decided to go see Dr. George Miranda.
