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.

Dr. Wannamaker
I’ve been having severe gas to problems and have lost a lot of weight. When I went to talk to this “Dr” he did not listen to me, told me it was all in my head and gave me a antidepressant. I have since found a wonderful Dr and she had test done on me that Dr W never even had me do! Turns out I do have multiple gastro issues and I will never go back to Dr W again for help. A doctor should listen and take care of their patients not make them afraid to even go see a doctor. Doctors are here to help us, not tear us down

Never!
Staff was very nice. Dr Ryan Wanamaker is absolutely the worst Doctor I have ever seen. Didn’t spend time with you, didn’t care about any of your concerns or questions. very rude. I would not recommend him to anyone . Made me feel stupid, and actually told me I was OUT of question time for my visit!

Practice has changed a lot
The practicing principals of this office have fallen greatly over the past few years…when I first starting going to Dr Wannamaker over a decade ago….I thought I had found a doctor and practice that was keenly focused on their patients… Now that’s gone to the wayside… Impossible to get through to Dr/Nurse for illness issues…or to get results/diagnosis for tests and/or procedures… Office number is forwarded to a call center in who knows where…results are less than satisfactory… I understand from friends this way of doing business for doctors is the norm…

I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis 12 years ago by Dr. Wanamaker. He has a great sense of humor and talks fast, but he is caring, thorough, and is truly dedicated to his patients. He always answers my questions and he is open and honest, but not an alarmist. I adore him!

Dr. Wanamaker uses a nurse practitioner to interview rather than spending time with the patient himself. I felt he really wasn't interested in me or my problem. He rushed through the first visit and the follow up visit. He seemed to be in a hurry for me to leave. I did not even get the complete result of the CT scan ordered after the first visit. I was unhappy with the entire process from beginning to end. I will NEVER see Dr. Wanamaker again.

Dr. Wanamaker and his staff made my experience of colonoscopiy actually pleasant if that's possible. I was particularly impressed with his nurses' caring, attitude I was referred to Dr. Wanamaker for a long-standing GI issue which he resolved after three other GI doctor had not be able to help me. I'm will always be grateful.

I had a colonoscopy performed by Dr. Wanamaker. I could never- NEVER get the results. Weeks upon Weeks went by, and I was told everything from A to Z. Instead of Wanamaker contacting me, he has his nurses contact me with three different results. I had everything from IBS, Colitis, PED, to Cancer!!!! I complained, and Wanamaker still did not contact me. After chronic complaining, he called and was nasty! This guy is a DANGER TO MEDICINE. Don't walk away from this Jerk, Run Away as Fast as you can
