Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best Dr I've ever had
After many years of bouncing around from doctor to doctor, I finally settled on Dr. Waker and it's been the best decision I have ever made. Dr. Waker is very knowledgeable and cares for her patients. She listens to my concerns, and I feel very comfortable in her hands.

I have been seeing Dr. Waker for about 4 years. I was referred to her by a friend. I had several encounters with her in which she was unprofessional and she has a bad attitude. When I was having trouble on Prozac which she prescribed me for anxiety, she would not return a call to switch me back to Lexapro. On Prozac I became very depressed and had some suicidal thoughts. This doctor never responded back to put me back on Lexapro. When I called her office to explain that I had had these problems with her before, they refused to fill my Lexapro prescription. I wonder if these medical professionals know how dangerous it can be to not fill an anti-anxiety prescription. I will not be returning to this doctor.

Dr. Waker is the worst doctor! She misdiagnosed me. She's rude and has no bedside manner. After months of being nauseous with everything I ate she told me I was constipated. No test were done or anything. I found a REAL doctor and found out after testing that I had gallstones. I would go to her for treatment if I was bleeding out and on my death bed.

Arrogant rude staff that doesn't feel accountable and a doctor that seems to have a huge gap in knowledge from others when it comes to certain diagnoses, treatments, etc.

My experience with doctor waker in person is great, she seemed interested and acted like she wanted to help, wrong. I've had a horrible experience with the staff anytime I call. I always wait 10-20 minutes on hold before talking to anyone. Staff is rude and speaks to me like I'm a child. I call and ask a question they say they will send a message to the doctor and I won't hear back for 2-4 days after persisitent calling. This is NO way to treat patients. I'm simply just another co-pay for them.
