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.

Waste of time.
My experience...Has problems diagnosing people properly. Prefers to talk about her favorite subject, herself. Not a hands on doctor, Rolls eyes when corrected. Threatens to treat for anxiety when you don't do exactly what she tells you. Far from professional and poor bedside manner in my opinion.

First off let me say I am trying my darnest to get away from Mercy anything. I can say she is very hard to get an appointment with, booked WAY OUT! Definitely rushed visits. Im just old fashioned, I believe if a Doctor has so many patients that its hard to get appointments or you are rushed during the visit. Thats when its timeto stop excepting new patients and give the patients that have been with her for years her undivided attention.

Dr. Waltman listened to me for an hour straight during a difficult time. She made me feel like my treatment was my choice and that I am a part of the team and in control. She was sweet and a great counselor in addition to a good doctor. She answers all my questions and the office runs smoothly.

She is full of herself, rude. She never wore a white coat. She thought it was a fashion show. I was a new type 2 diabetic and kept telling her my numbers and she was uninterested. Finally sending me to an endochronologist. She somewhat figured it out, and when I went back to her she was mad because i didn't know how much insulin to write the script for. She couldn't do the math or refer to the doctor she sent me to for the amount. She was rude because i am overweight. Don't choose this one !!

I have found Dr Waltman to be very negative and she tends to be very vocal even if it is appropriate or not. She made me feel like I could not question any decision made about myself and would get angry if I was to call the office with a question. The Staff was great and I don't want my review to reflect negatively against them in any way.
