Dr. Wait removed an extremely difficult tumor inside my spinal column that nerves and become completely embedded in. I was woken to even tell my wife goodbye as I was not expected to survive surgery. If I survived I was expected to be paralyzed the rest of my life. That was 10 years ago. We now have a 9 year old son, 6 year old daughter, and are adopting a 2 year old. I’m writing this review now because I’m back to see him due to a completely different spinal problem. When I heard I was being referred to a neurosurgeon I knew exactly who I wanted. I don’t know his faith, but my faith tells me God used him like he used his scaple. I testify that I should not be alive, but that I walk and even hike mountains with my children because of what God did through this man. Doc if you read this… my family has not forgotten and are eternally grateful to you. If my new problem requires surgery I want you in on it.

I am so grateful for Dr. Wait! When the other doctors kept telling me there was nothing that could be done about my condition, Dr. Wait cared enough to find the root of the problem and did something to fix it. I owe him and Dr. Ralf Christy (my heart surgeon) my life! I will be forever thankful to them both! Dr. Wait is still making sure that I receive the best of care for my condition.

Dr Wait and his staff are stellar. Dr Wait is honest, matter of fact, meticulous and thorough before making diagnoses. His staff is friendly, thorough and the office seems to run like a well oiled machine. They have my gratitude, full recommendation and continued patronage.

He thinks his way is the only way! Get a second opinion as it could change your life even his staff is rude. No wonder Novant stopped referring patients to him.
