Coming from the Midwest women’s health is consistently overlooked and dismissed. I am so grateful for this provider, my concerns were addressed and tested. This doctor is extremely knowledgable and professional with his patients.

Dr. Wakser was kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating to my requests and understood my perspective on medical care. I'm glad I found him.

Dr. Wakser listened to me carefully, asked great clarifying questions, and was understanding of my situation. He was able to suggest a best course of action taking into account my current lack of insurance, and was willing to consult with others about a very specific issue I was having; while also being clear about what he knew in theory and what he knew practically.
I am very satisfied with my appointment, I would very highly recommend Dr. Wakser to anyone who needs a new doctor!

I went to see Dr. Wakser for a keloid type scab on my forehead which I was hoping he could Inject but he said he doesn't do injections and recommended I see an actual dermatologist . I also informed the nurse or his assistant when they called that I needed an injection and they went ahead and confirmed my appointment. If I knew he couldn't inject the site or do anything for me , I wouldn't have pushed through with the appointment. I was there at 645am and had to pay a hefty amount for nothing.
