Dr. Eric Wagner, MD

Eight weeks ago, I had Dr Wagner replaced my left shoulder . I’m ecstatic with the results. Currently I’m in PT, as I’m regaining Flexibility, motion, and strength I can see the progress week after week. He and his staff were caring and professional.

I'm writing this review on the one year anniversary of a disastrous surgery performed by Eric Wagner. I saw Dr. Wagner because I injured my shoulders weight training. I did have arthritis in both shoulder from over 50 years of lifting weights, however even after the latest injury I still had excellent strength and range of motion. I didn't want the shoulder replacement that Dr Wagner wanted to do, so after seeing the range of motion I had he said he could just 'clean it up' and it would be fine. It was not! It took 6 month of PT just to be able to extend arm to open a door or shake a hand. The true 'insult to injury' was when he said that procedure has an extremely low success rate and that he normally would not do it on anyone over 30 yrs old, and citing his only good outcome was on a 18 yr old... I was 71 at that time.Why would he even suggest a surgery to me if he knew it wasn't going help, moreover make it exponentially worse. What happen to ' Do No Harm'

I had a reverse total shoulder replacement 1 yr before seeing Dr Wagner . Shoulder dislocated spontaneously 6 weeks post-op and necessitated revision. 3 months after 2nd surgery it spontaneously dislocated again. I reduced it but it happened 3 more times over the next 3-4 months. Each time was progressively more difficult to reduce . And then I saw Dr Wagner . He knew exactly what the problem was and exactly how to fix it . AND HE DID ! It’s been 6 months since then and my shoulder is working just fine and I have no limitations, pains or concerns from it . I couldn’t be more pleased . Thank you Dr Wagner .

nowNewDr Wagner is an excellent surgeon. And he has a great personality and bedside manner. He is kind, which comes across when you talk to him. He is the only Dr I found that actually listened to me when I said there was something wrong with my previous shoulder replacement that I had done elsewhere. He listened, he did a biopsy and found a staph infection that ruined the other replacement. After 2 months on antibiotics he completed a reverse revision replacement and it is perfect. No signs of infection, great mobility, and best of all no pain. His entire staff is amazing too. They all care and respond quickly if you have any questions or concerns. Highly recommend Dr Wagner for any future surgeries.

I feel so fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Eric Wagner. I've spent many years with shoulder pain and limited movement. After surgery I now have total movement and absolutely no pain. I am so very grateful to Dr. Wagner and his awesome team!!

I came to Dr. Wagner after a failed total shoulder replacement by a different doctor. Dr. Wagner performed a revision surgery, one of his specialties, and my outcome has been nothing short of miraculous. My surgical shoulder has no pain and is already stronger than my other arm with full range of motion. I have been amazed at how on time my appointments have been. He and his team are prompt, responsive, and very compassionate. Kaitlyn is especially personable and reassuring, always taking the time to address any concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Wagner for anyone considering shoulder surgery.

I needed two surgeries to repair my dislocated shoulder, I had complete confidence in Dr Wagner, he was kind, listened to me and explained everything. Both procedures resulted in very little discomfort. His team is outstanding and I was kept informed the whole time.

I had ulnar shortening surgery with Dr. Wagner last year. His staff is very responsive and supportive. My surgery went very well and my wrist pain is completely resolved! Highly recommend him!

Dr Wagner and crew were professional, Caring, helpful and compassionate to my needs. Whenever i called with questions they always called me back with answers . I feel the whole staff had my best outcome as there goal.

The doctor told me he would do the surgery and also told another company and then four months later says no. A decent human being would’ve had the common courtesy to Tell a person who is in need of surgery much earlier than waiting for months. There’s no doubt in my mind he knew he had no intentions of doing it long before four months later.Don’t expect that he’s going to be upfront and honest with you.

I went to see Dr Wagner after my 6th shoulder replacement had dislocated. He did surgery on me to replace my prosthetic and the results have been amazing! He is very kind, listens to concerns, talks through different scenarios and is very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him.

I couldn't be more pleased with the result of my shoulder surgery. I was unable to lift my arm before the surgery and now I have complete range of motion and no pain at all. Dr. Wagner is kind, caring and professional and I recommend him unequivocally. I could not ask for a better surgeon or a better result.

Dr. Wagner has followed me for two years post surgery. I had a unique situation with my wrist and Dr. Wagner performed an intense surgery that was very successful. He has always been professional, kind and thorough with every appointment. I have traveled 4 hours to see him for every appointment due to his skill, professionalism and overall character. I highly recommend him!

The new advances for being able the video my shoulder movements during the xray. Dr. Wagner assured me that my shoulder was in better shape than when I was 22 years old. His ability to connect with you is always refreshing his expertise shines thru. Each visit has become a pleasure. Ann excellent choice for a shoulder specialist. I referred my wife.

I had damaged my right rotator cuff, I had 2 torn tendons and my muscles had atrophied, Dr. Wagner had to put in 2 tendons and take a muscle from my back to repair my shoulder. Everything went well, I have full motion range, and my strength is returning. I am very happy with my results

Very happy with my results: pain free and great range of motion. Discussed my options including recommended path openly and clearly. Dealt seamlessly with my preexisting blood disorder. Staff friendly, helpful and motivational. I was back to work and life quickly. New shoulder works so well I have to remember it’s not the original.

Professionalism, interest and taking great care to explain my situation, the procedure, answer my questions and allay my fears throughout treatment.

Five stars aren't enough for Dr. Wagner's skill, professionalism, and patient care! He thoroughly explained what to expect during and after my surgery and followed up on MyChart. With the assistance of PA Sarah Taub and a recommended certified hand therapist, I have had the best experience and outcome. After 6 months, my hand is almost back to normal. Thank you Emory Orthopedics and Dr. Wagner!

Dr Wagner took the time to understand my lifestyle and then help me get back to my active lifestyle. Most important, he is and expert on the modern methods to repair shoulders.

I’m closer to 89 than 88 Dr. Wagner performed a reversed shoulder replacement on my right shoulder 7 mos ago and my left shoulder 4 mos ago. The recovery was painless after a few days, and I have regained 95% of my shoulder movement. He and his staff were always available when I needed them.
