Dr. Waissbluth has been on the care team for my elderly, very ill Mother. I have never met a doctor who showed such compassion and personal interest in a patient, as well as such technical competence and good judgment. Some people observe that he doesn't smile much, but after talking to him for just a few minutes, you can easily see that he is so serious because he cares so much. (and, he does smile!)
