Dr Waters is nothing but professional in his practice. I have had 3 major surgeries from him and he is the only Dr. that has been truthful and very thourough in his care for myself and my husband. I am very sad to see him retiring and closing his practice. I wish you well Dr Water and staff.

Dr. Waters has done surgeries on several people in my family. Every experience has been positive. He spends time to explain until I understood what was going on with my knee and how to best care for my problems. He is honest and makes me feel like I can go on.....he inspires me to take better care of myself and accept my new challenges with my body. Everyone of my family members Love him!

If you get upset over having to wait then don't go to this doctor otherwise he is the best. Had 2 scopes in the past 20 years with excellent results. He knows what he's taking about and treats the patient not the MRI

Dr. Waters came highly recommened for my hip replacement. He was caring, took time to explain everything, he was frank and honest. My surgery went perfectly and my "new" hip is fantastic. I've learned that a sucessful outcome depends, so much, on doing the physical therapy after surgery and for the rest of your life. It's not fun, but you've got to do it - period. The most amazing thing about Dr. Waters is that, every time I've called his office with a question, I've gotten a return call from Dr. Waters in person the same day - usually within a couple of hours. One time he even returned my call on a Saturday after I left a message on his office voice mail. Great experience.

Waters has no morals and is totally in the pockets of the insurance companies. Call a work comp attorney and tell them that work comp sent you to waters and they immediately know that you have been screwed. Don't walk but run away from this guy
