Dr. Waggenspack is excellent! I have a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder. I thought I would need to have surgery and really dreaded it. I was referred to him by my spine doctor, who gave me my first injection in my shoulder 5 years ago. On my first visit to Dr. Waggenspack three months ago, he gave me an injection in my shoulder. I have been pain-free since then. I went back this week for him to recheck to make sure it would not cause further damage if I did not have surgery to repair it. He said that only a small percentage of rotator cuff tears require surgery. He was so reassuring that we could continue without surgery as long as I remained pain-free and had the range of motion I have now. He gave me exercises to do at home to continue to strengthen it. His bedside manner is wonderful. He's so knowledgeable. He takes his time to explain extensively and answers any of your concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Waggenspack. I would give him 10 stars if I could!

Dr. Waggenspack is the rudest Doctor I have ever seen. Although he will tell you that he is the best Doctor in town, I would never recommend that you choose him.

Dr. Waggenspack is the rudest, most pompous Dr. I have ever seen. Although, he says he is the best Doctor in the area, I would never, ever recommend that you choose him.

From the diagnosis of rotator cuff tear and detached muscle ligaments, through the surgery, and follow-up treatments, Dr. Waggenspack and staff treated me like a member of family. Besides the excellent care, the staff made the task of dealing with medical and disability insurances a pleasant experience as they completed needed forms quickly and accurately. At age 69, being back on the golf course in 6 months was a very unexpected and pleasant surprise.
