Dr. James Waldman, MD

Rude and unknowledgeable, don’t waste your time here.

Great doctor! He spent ample time to examine the patient. Explained the findings and treatment plan very well. Gave us treatment options. Did not push us to buy expensive lotions and creams (what most of the other dermatologists do). He is one of those good old fashion doctors who practice medicine the way it should be. I highly recommend Dr. Waldman.

I developed finger calluses from playing stringed instruments. My nails grew improperly and my fingertips peeled, cracked and bled causing unbearable pain. He repeatedly insisted there was no treatment for calluses. Three months after I had a finger amputated due to damage resulting from doctors' mistreatment, cracking, peeling, bleeding, callused fingertips (and subsequently a ray resection relieving some of the pain from the amputation) I finally found Curad Mediplast callus removing pads. Hospitals use them regularly. Within a month my calluses peeled off, my fingertips healed and my fingernails began growing normally. He refused to listen to me, disregarded my condition and led me to believe there was no cure or treatment for calluses. He treated me with disrespect, arrogance, patronization and ultimately pure ignorance. I wish he was more informed about how to treat calluses. It would have saved me from suffering with nerve damage and hand pain for the rest of my life.

Remember when your doctor treated you like part of the family? I do... On Thanksgiving I was riding my mountain bike when I hit one of those big cactuses with the 2" steel-like needles, had about a dozen of them lodged in my fingers and knuckles, deep, and painful. I called his office, left a message and Dr. Waldman called me back. Get this - - - He asked me to meet him in his office - - - on Thanksgiving! He spent 2 hours surgically removing the needles, gentle and meticulous. GREAT DOC!

My husband and I have been patients for years. Dr. Waldman does beautiful plastic repair on skin lesions. He is informative, never rushing, warm and gracious with a great sense of humor.
