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.

Due to an auto accident injury, I suffered multiple herniations to my neck and back, which left me with constant pain and headaches. With the pain, I was unable to get through my daily activities and routine. I met with Dr. Waldman who created a treatment plan to minimize the pain and get me back to work and back to my family. He took time explaining to me my injuries and his staff was very accommodating in organizing my care. Highly recommend for anyone suffering from pain!

I recently had a number of procedures with Dr Waldman. I found him to be affable and eager to explain things to me. Although he was not eager to prescribe narcotics to me he did help me greatly with medication that I needed and his injections were painless as promised. Unfortunately I was reinjured in a car accident more recently and needed surgery with Dr Waldman and his associate Dr. Goldberg. I will be forever grateful for the excellent outcome, the caring treatment kindness. J Lopez

I had a great experience with Dr. Waldman. I was in a lot of pain and his office accommodated me on the same day! His clear expertise in pain management and excellent bedside manner was evident and he answered all my questions thoroughly. Since I've been seeing him for consultations and treatments including epidurals my neck and low back pain have decreased significantly and I am back to the gym and my passion of cycling. I highly recommend anyone with pain neck or back pain to see Dr. Waldman.

I was referred to Dr. Waldman after suffering a severe back injury. He saw me and right away was able to tell me what was going on based on the MRI's and his exam. That made me comfortable right away because he really knows what hes talking about. My back pain was so bad but after a number of injections over the course of a few months my pain and walking ability got so much better. For anyone in pain in their neck and pain, I would highly recommend Dr. Waldman and his practice in North Bergen.

Dr. Steven Waldman is an excellent Physician. Dr. Waldman holds himself and his employees to high standards; thus, his clinic is run impeccably though this perfectionism. Most of the people who work with him are exceptionally professional in their roles too. The doctors that assisted in the procedures were excellent; the well humored assistance nurse was thorough. Even the drivers were acutely aware of taking precautions to help the patients feel safe during transport.

Dr. Steven P. Waldman is kind, personable, sympathetic and professional. It is rare to find a doctor with such amazing bedside manner. He is a dynamo with a heavy patient load, yet he has the ability to make you feel like your case is the only one that matters. This ensures a doctor-patient relationship where you are completely comfortable putting your trust in Dr. Waldman's hands through his experience and surgical skills. No one hopes to need a pain mgmt Dr., but I had an excellent experience.

A caring expert in pain management Dr. Waldman has to be one of the top doctors in the field. At each point he explains everything in full, makes you comfortable and really makes things as comfortable and confident of your decisions along the way. Guided me closely with which Surgeon to use too.
No question I went to few of these Pain management doctors and he by far the best.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Waldman?
Interested in money and only that. Bedside manner and expertise is questionable. Giving an injection and then requesting Mri is not how it should be done. Not interested in finding other ways to treat other than to send you to surgery center and get injected. Much easier for dr. Waldman. It's like an assembly line in those facilities with dr. Waldman. Just inject inject inject inject! Get money money money money! That's his motto. Very sad.
