I have been a patient of Dr. Waldholtz for nearly 20 years now. Every appointment and procedure he has performed has been my best. Now, even my relatives have gone to him for advice and services provided. See him and make yourself smile...

Dr. Waldholtz has the demeanor one would wish all their Doctors would have. He listens and he discusses. He takes his time with his patients, making sure they understand his diagnoses. You are not just a number with Dr. Waldholtz; you're a person. Excellent Doctor; Excellent Surgeon.

Dr Waldholtz is extremely caring and personable. He diagnosed my cancer and went above and beyond handling all necessary arrangements with all of the other doctors that needed to be involved. I was diagnosed on a Wednesday and in with the other doctors starting on Friday. He continues to care and monitor for me and now my husband is a patient also. He gives you the time needed during your visit and explores all areas of concern.

His staff is RUDE, unprofessional and forgetful. Dr. Waldholtz himself if unpleasant to work with and gave me unneeded costly procedures with still no resolution to what the problem is. He himself spends a two minute blip with you in the hospital and has $$$$ in his eyes over the health of his patients.Erin in the scheduling department is especially rude; she had the nerve to blame me for her forgetfulness and then patronized me like I was a child. This office is not worth you time or money and certainty not worth the risk of leaving your health in hands of their staff.
