“Had an appointment with Dr Waterman didn't have to wait long and when I seen him he is amazing he's going to take care of my thinning hair gave me everything I need to do to regrow what was thinning and in 2 months I have to go back and see him . I have alot of faith in him because of his knowledge.”

“Well, I had an appointment at 245 and was seen at 4. With that said....the doctor was worth the wait. Sweet guy. He asked just enough questions without needing to pry or make you say what you don't want to say.
Great bedside manner. He not ONLY treated what I needed treated, he also went above and beyond to help treat something else that other doctors have yet to do. He knew exactly what it was and what would help.
I felt very comfortable as an openly gay male here. I will absolutely visit this doctor again. I highly recommend him. ”

Very professional doctor and staff. Doctor however had extremely bad BO that brought down an otherwise 5-star experience. It actually made me feel very sick.

The entire office was welcoming and warm. The doctor listened, explained the issues and made me feel at ease. I really liked this office, it was well run!

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. PLEASE BE VERY WARY OF THIS DOCTOR. ESPECIALLY WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. His bedside manner is awful, he is invasive and will ask you to disrobe and prod you without much warning or your explicit consent. He is extremely rude, violating, and arrogant. He made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up with his bedside manner and when confronted was extremely defensive. It seems commonplace in his office, because his staff was supportive and understanding .All in all please be very careful and do your research and due diligence before scheduling an appointment with Dr. Gary Waterman.

Very nice people
October 12, 2022Diana B.Verified patient
The assistant and front desk staff was pleasant and helpful. The doctor came in to speak with me for less than a minute and mostly directed his diagnosis to the PA, not me. He didn’t ask if I had any follow up questions. I had to ask the PA to explain what he said in non-medical terminology. The wait time was very short and the office was clean.

Very good
August 9, 2022Takeila P.Verified patient
I just didn’t like that the provider didn’t really explain what medicine I would be using for what he kind of just blurted big words out and that was all.

Very easy, in and out.. the staff was great too.

Really good doctor . Highly recommended
May 26, 2022Raufon I.Verified patient
Felt very rushed.
A younger doctor was with him and did most of the work which was fine but because he was so quick to get in and out I felt ignored by my questions.
Didn’t explain what he was doing or why and didn’t give any clear instructions on medicine he prescribed after.
Very friendly guy, but didn’t really listen to my concerns. Will probably not go here again.
