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.

I recently visited Dr.Michael Wait for a consultation after my angiogram. He was so thorough in explaining from the image. I wish he had performed my own heart surgery over 2 years ago. He is the best When it comes to open heart surgery. He is very kind, approachable, highly skilled. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Wait goes out of his way to take care of his patients. I work in healthcare and deal with many physicians and can honestly say he is a good listener, kind, caring, knowledgeable and experienced. He is someone we trust whole heartedly. I am thankful that my mother is being cared for by him. He's a blessing!
