I would not recommend Dr. Wagner to anyone. He was rude and laughed at me as if I didn't need to be there before even looking at my skin. As a female undressed under a paper thin gown, it made me feel very uncomfortable and stupid. He could have been more professional.

Dr. Wagner is arrogant and condescending in his manner. He makes it clear his time is valuable, is quick to dismiss any patient concern, and offers his professional evaluation with rudeness.

Dr. Wagner is the first Derm Doc who took my adult acne serious and treated it to a degree that it no longer affects my appearance. I do so appreciate his quality of care as well as his staff. They are first Class.

I would never refer anyone to go to his office. He does not care about his patients and does not refer them for needed services. Run as fast as you can somewhere else.

I am not able to recommend Dr. Wagner to anyone after my experience with him. He was rude, arrogant and did not treat my skin condition well leaving me to seek out another dermatologist.After my experience with Dr. Wagner, I asked my primary care physician to never send me to him again.
