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.

We have nothing but fantastic things to say about Dr. Linda Wagner-Weiner and her supporting staff. She was fantastic in helping diagnose our child's condition and setting up a treatment plan. Not only is she a knowledgeable doctor, she come off as a truly warm, caring, and genuine person. We're glad we found her and would highly recommend her to others.

Dr. Wagner Weiner has been the rhematoligist for both of my daughters going on 15 years now. Hands down she is the best doctor I have ever encountered in my life. When I have seen improvement in my daughters and think, this is as good as their recovery is going to be, she pushes for more and gets the results! She is creative, incredible smart and kind! She talks to us and not down to us and asks our opinion and listens. My daughters are both doing as well as they are because of Dr. Wagner Weiner. We see her 2-3 times a year and she rememberers the little details better that I do, their Mom. She also remembers what is going on in their personal lives showing them how much she cares. She has called me multiple time in the evening to give me information. Multiple times we have been at other related specialist doctors offices; they all know Dr. Wagner Weiner and you can hear the respect and admiration they have for her. We truly are extremely blessed to have her as their doctor!

I have been seeing Dr. Wagner for approximately 10 years now, and I have always had the best experiences with her! Even though my symptoms have never made me a black box patient, she has always believed in me and my symptoms and told me that she would get me feeling better. Dr. Wagner always spends a lot of time with me, and she is always easy to reach in an emergency. Even now that I live 8 hours away, she still calls to check on me! She is one of the sweetest, most caring doctors I know!

My daughter has been a patient of Dr Wagner's for a few years and we have had only positive experiences. We love her compasion, caring demeanor. She spends a lot of time with my daughter and always answers all our questions. She takes her time and can be gotten holdof in an emergency. I couldn't ask for a better pediatric rheumatologist for my child! We love her!!!!

I saw her for over a year and she made me feel like I was crazy. I would tell her my symptoms and she would always dismiss them. I felt if I didn't say something the right way, she wouldn't believe the symptoms I was expiriencing. Oh and pilates is not going to stop my pain, actual medication would have helped.
