I asked specifically for this doctor because of several recommendations from his past patients. I'm glad I did. Clearly not only does his know his stuff, but he exudes a sense of professional competency which I find comforting in a surgeon who is about to replace my knee with a mechanical device. I cannot imagine having better care or a better outcome than I got from Dr. Wascher.

I was impressed with how quickly the office was able to identify my pain.My Physician Assistant, Presbyterian Ortho and PCP all failed to identify my pain. My pain decreased from an 9 to a 1 in one appointment. The preparation for the appointment was less than perfect. I was sent to the wrong clinic. When I arrived at the right clinic (still on time)I waited for over 2 hours after my scheduled appointment time to tell me that I needed X-rays. I had offered to bring my X-ray and MRI but the office did not contact me. So a lesson, always take your previous X-Ray and MRI.

Dr. Wascher did my knee replacement. He is a very kind and caring doctor. I've had no problems with my knee and will soon be seeing him about replacing the other knee. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Wascher is an excellent doctor. He diagnosed and treated me for a torn ACL. The whole time, he was professional, easy to talk to, thorough, and caring. He did an excellent job on my knee, and I wouldn't hesitate to go back to him again should I have any other joint problems.The downsides to Dr. Wascher are that he is very hard to get an appointment with initially, and that he often overbooks, so you're left to wait for him a very long time. There was one occasion - and just one - one a very busy day, when he wasn't his normal self, and was rushed and impatient with me.
