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.

After waiting 7 minutes months for an appointment and flying across country, I was told last minute that Dr. Waldrop called off. When I asked if he could fit me in the next day or if I could see him for a few minutes -- given how difficult travel was for me -- the front desk, without inquiring, coldly told me no. This fit a pattern of experience. Previously, the front desk had given me the wrong time, which I only discovered when checking the medical portal

Best neurologist I have seen
I saw countless neurologists for daily migraines and Dr. Waldrop is by far the best. Dr. Waldrop carefully looked at my brain scans where other doctors just flipped through the pictures so fast that they couldn’t have caught any abnormality. He is compassionate and caring. I really like him and will continue to see him for many years to come.

Excellent neurologist
I was a patient of Dr. Waldrop's from 2014 until I left the area in 2023 and the drive was too far. He was always attentive to my needs and willing to try different things to help with my health issues. Note: He sometimes appeared stiff and doesn't always smile, which may be off-putting to some people, but he's very kind and always listened to my needs. He's a very good doctor.

I do not recommend!
Dr. Waldrop is not good for any one with seizures but possibly other neuro issues. I do not recommend him. He tried several medications on our child, and it never worked, and he finally said it was time for something else which was riskier.

Staff gatekeepers are uncaring and have no heart
We chose to go back to Dr Waldroup who my wife had seen for several years before we moved when i was active duty militaryto Ft. Benning. She had suffered a stroke and we had an appointment to have her seen for post stroke care, which you can't find doctors worth a $#!# in Columbus. We drove two and a half hours, and arrived 4 minutes beyond their 10 minute late mark and the staff still refused to allow my wife to see the Doctor, setting the next appointment back to over a month out, while she suffers excruciating migraines daily. No empathy, no care.. Just your late and that's our rules.

I had an appointment scheduled for today (with referral). Once nurse walked me to the room, the first question was if I took Covid jab. Then Dr. Waldrop storms in (literally) and tells me that if I don't answer Covid related questions (they took my temperature), he is refusing to provide medical service to me and that I should leave. I did. If you want to be treated like a human, go find a different doctor, if you want to be treated like statistic - Dr. Waldrop is your best choice.

Dr. Waldrop really cares about his patients. He takes time to listen and then really tries to find the best treatment options for his patients. He gave me a diagnosis quickly, after many doctors had told me there was nothing wrong - they never even ordered a brain scan!! Dr. Waldrop has helped to improve the quality of my life and I am forever grateful!!

Dr. Waldrop diagnosed my mothers illness in 20 minutes and clearly explained the problem. We had seen other specialists for the last 6 months without a correct diagnosis. He called a stat MRI for that same day. The MRI confirmed the diagnosis and I talked to him that night about next steps. After my mother was admitted to the ER and hospital awaiting surgery, he called to follow up. Amazing doctor! He is the reason my mom is walking again. Will use him for my own care.

Dr Waldrop listened carefully to my husband's case of memory loss,. He was responsive to my concerns and ordered further testing for him. He took adequate time to explain what our options are for treatment. We have only seen him twice, but have been happy so far.
