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.

Singularly Attentive Doctor.
Dr. Wagner has been my oncologist for 4 years now. After surviving 2 bouts of sarcoma and two with lung cancer, I credit him for providing me life-saving medical care. We always seek a second opinion, or even a 3rd or 4th opinion if suggested therapies appear at odds. His suggestions have always proved the most trustworthy.

Knowledgeable and committed to finding best plan
Supportive and I felt he would plan best treatment for RIAS angiosarcoma. Thoroughly knowledgeable about sarcoma and communicated well. He would work with drug companies, call for consultations, if necessary, whatever it might take for benefit of my health. I give him an A+

Do not recommend
Only listened to me when I had my father or husband in the room. Rude, inexperienced, could not answer questions directly, and was incredibly inconsistent

Michael Wagner consistently lies and makes sure to try to ruin patients health by subscribing subpar deadly prescriptions instead of a non deadly effective alternative. He is super ugly and is no Dr Liao. Who is super smart at everything.

He lied to me. He just makes up something that isn't true. Told me that something is never done a certain way but did it the week before. If I ask him a question about my case he never has a clue. He has to run around and ask and then never answers my question.
