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.

Ehhhh
Seems like he’s just doing it to finish his career. Just don’t feel as if he cares unless you are paying cash probably, idk just don’t feel like he cares. If your a young person your just a easy payment and in and out and your a problem for him. Also whenever I call the staff to see when they booked my appointment cause I never know, I’m a burden to them. They seem very angry that when I finish my appointment they tell me ohh 2 months from now and it falls on a weekend and then it’s my fault 2 month from the date I went in is weekend and I had control over the calendar of that year. It’s like a lose lose with this place Never-mind I’m driving over a hr to see this doctor, where there are a lot within my area in Nj but workman’s comp couldn’t find one. But yup do yourself a favor find a place where they aren’t going to treat you disrespectfully and like a human.

I would love to give no stars to this doctor and this facility . This doctor does not act like he cares about his patients at all, The entire appointment he did not listen to me and made me feel like he did not want me to be there and that I was bothering him . I understand that he is an older man and he’s probably sick of being a doctor so he should probably just retire already . Also When calling to make appointments the women who answer are very rude .

Bed side manner was the worst I have ever experienced. Dr. Wasserstrom did not explain even when asked questions about my health. The receptionist made several mistakes that I had to call and correct. Currently, searching for another doctor.

I had a great experience with the Dr. I went to him for migraines and I feel that he did an on depth review of my medical history and issues. He works with me to develop a course of action to help with the migraines.

Not impressed with his bedside manner nor his knowledge. Very impersonable and ill prepared for meetings. Am extremely disappointed. Not comfortable with any information he has shared and now need to engage another neurologist for guidance.
