I have been in Dr Newman's care for over ten years. He is friendly and answers your questions which I truly appreciate and is very knowledgeable about issues with my leg and foot wounds as well as my lymphedema. He is also very good about fitting you in on short notice. I was able to get an appointment the same day on a Friday holiday weekend. Would highly recommend him to everyone.

Dr. Newman is an excellent wound care physician. I have been his patient for over 20 years. He has kept me out of the hospital and away from serious surgeries for years. I have a history of pressure ulcers that can get to be truly dangerous. Dr. Newman and his staff are always very friendly and go out of their way to treat and teach maintenance to the patient and the family or other care givers. Dr.Newman is always friendly and interested in his patients and their lives. I trust Dr. Newman so much that when he changed hospital organizations, I followed him to his new location, even though all of my other doctors are still in his previous hospital group. I would recommend him to anyone needing the care that he provides without any qualms.

Poor excuse for a wound doctor! Multiple visits with treatment 1 time only to contact severe infections in my toe due to poor care resulting in partial removal of my toe. All the other visits I was told to use OTC antibacterial ointment and a bandage.

Spends his time asking personal questions about you and your family and who you know instead of taking care of the wound! The most nosy, judgemental, rude doctor I have ever dealt with. Not recommended!
