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.

He is very unresponsive to patients. Does not listen to your concerns instead sends you to other doctors because he doesn't think you know what you are talking about. I broke my ankle in 2019 and he did my reconstruction surgery and did it very poorly. I've had severe problems with the ankle since then. I've even had to have the whole joint replaced because of the lack of care he gave me.

A little WACK, and my knee is as good as new!
After cortisone shots and gel injections, a total knee replacement was inevitable. Once Covid restrictions were a bit more relaxed we scheduled my TKR for May 9 2022. Home on May 10th and I quickly went from bed to walker to cane to non assisted movement in less than 5 weeks. PT was great and the IOVERA pre surgery treatment made a world of difference in the pain. Honestly, I hardly had pain. The hospital was great, and Dr. Wack was wonderful. He answered each question thoughtfully and explained everything thoroughly. Highly recommend BMH and Dr. Wack.

Dr.Wack was wonderful with all my surgeries. He explained everything very well and I’ve had no complications. I’m able to resume regular activities in a very short period of time and that was my goal. He was a pleasure to deal with and a top notch surgeon.
