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.

Horrible bedside manners. Disgusting human, I truly hope to never see this man work in healthcare again. My mother is in tears from his degradation and treatment of her.

Recommendations
Attitude, bedside manners horrible, and in my opinion this doctor is not serious about getting people better. All he's after is to get paid, make fun at his patients. This is what I experienced at his office when I was I under his care on a Workers Comp. injury a few years ago.

Extremely likely
After almost two years of having severe neck pain, and being treated by multiple Physicians, Dr. Wachsman successfully resolved my pain. It is a miracle to feel normal again, and pain-free. Dr. Wachsman explained in great detail what the procedure entailed, and the anticipated result. I am extremely thankful to Dr. Wachsman. He was very warm and sympathetic, as was his office staff. I recommend him highly.

Uncaring
I had a procedure there. A nerve was hit, and although I know that can happen, I did not appreciate being scolded for having a low pain tolerance. This is a pain management clinic for God's sake. I will never go back.

One of THE VERY BEST
Dr. Wachsman is one of the top MDs a patient can consult and treat. He cares about his patients but Even More Importantly as a doctor he is thorough and open to the patient's complaints which other specialists may have missed. I can't more strongly recommend Dr. Wachsman to you. You will know that your health and suffering will be remedied by being in the best hands. I rarely leave reviews and if I do, I take those few seriously as someone in need may rely upon it. You can absolutely rely on your care by Dr, Wachsman.

He's smart and skilled. He went to medical school, but he didn't go to charm school. Forget charming, how about a smile, a kind word? Most rude, non-validating doctor I've ever been to. Brushed aside my concerns, always politely expressed. Skill is expected, but so is kindness.

"Dr. Seth Wachsman is one of the best physicians in South Florida. My family was blessed to have been referred to his office for the care of my mother. During the last several months, he has preformed several out patient procedures that has improved her life quality by keeping her pain at minimum. Prior, she was bed bound for months. Dr Wachsman truly listens to the patient, evaluates each person to meet every need and concern for the individual. You are not just a number at his office. His front and back office personnel go above and beyond for the patients as well. He has several office locations, including a state of the art out patient surgical center. You will not find a better physician for your loved ones, or self. "

Amazing! Spent years with neck and back pain prior to finding Dr. Seth Wachsman. After a few appointments, tests and out patient procedures, I feel like a new person. He has a direct approach, very knowledgeable and evaluates the patient as an individual. Nice to find an honest doctor these days, I will be a lifelong patient of his. His office staff is great, working with insurance, scheduling appointments, ordering test and follow ups. I can not say enough about this office on how impressed I am. Thank you Dr. Seth Wachsman for the quality of care you provide.

I have been under Dr. Wachsman care since 12/2020. He is an exceptional Physician. I was in severe neck and back pain. On my first visit he gave me his full attention and was totally concerned in my getting relief. He explains everything in detail with the procedures he can perform to fix the problem. The amazing part is that it's totally painless because the procedures are done at a wonderful caring surgical Out Patient Center where you are asleep . He is absolutely the best at what he does. I am so happy to be a patient of his, knowing he has my best interest at heart. He's just amazing. It's so great knowing you can really be pain free . I would highly recommend Dr. Wachsman to anyone who has back and neck pain. He also has a wonderful staff. They are not only pleasant but very understanding and helpful.

I had a procedure done and was very pleased with the results. However, when I tried to set up an appointment I was told Dr. W. had "removed me from his service iiin 2018." I have no idea why and have never experienced such a refusal. I'm disappointed because my procedure was very successful. I did tell dr,I hadn't been informed as to the after effects of the procedure and was afraid something was going wrong. Maybe that's why I'm no longer his patient? I truly am at a loss to understand this.

When I hurt my back, I was referred to this doctor. I wanted to avoid taking opiates, and he said he could help me, would help me. He sold me hope, 4 expensive 'interventional pain management procedures with copayments of 200.00 each When we ran out of options, and there were no more procedures to try, this Doctor didn't bother to show up for the final appointment, he sent an assistant, someone I'd never met. And when I finally did take pain medicine he asked who my doctor was, sneered at me, made a catty comment when I said her name, like he's above compassion or something. This was a long time ago, my back over time it healed, I got off opiates, but I'll always remember this experience.

Do not recommend Dr. Wachsman, and management needs to seek employment elsewhere. People go to see a doctor to feel better, not to be confronted by RUDE management.

He never gives up trying to improve "quality of life" for patients. Thank Goodness! Dr. Wachsman keeps up with latest medical interventions and discusses these as options with his patients. Because of him, I am able to walk and live a good life.
