Walking on vacation excruciating pain overtook me, I couldn’t move, literally couldn’t walk 2 feet-ended up in wheelchair. MRI’s, CAT Scans showed severe Lumbar Stenosis. Dr. Waldman took me on and for more than an hour explained and answered every thought imaginable. I was scared. Well, the day arrived for my shot I was in a wheelchair. I woke up, and walked out. It was beyond incredible. Life was back to normal. It’s been several months and I’ve recently had 2nd shot. Words can’t convey my thank you’s to Dr. Waldman.

I see Dr. Waldman every month for 17 years. He is one of a kind, offers not only high professionalism, but also kindness and understanding. He never dismissed my problems, always calls me back and answers messages. Even though my pain is chronic with complications, Dr. Waldman always finds a solution to make me feel better. I could use PM Dr locally, but to me doctor Waldman and his wonderful staff are the best, I don't mind to travel. I also see Dr. Waldman on Telehealth sometimes. Thank you all.

Dr. Waldman takes the time and has the skill and interest in listening to the patient. He explains everything with honest, forthrightness as well as thoroughness and respect for the patient’s ability to understand. He appears very knowledgeable and current in his awareness of health issues. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Waldman not only knowlegable, experienced Doctor, he is also very carrying and kind, who is there for his patients any time you need him. I drive to his office from Jersey Shore for 14 years, see him once a month and not once Dr. Waldman disapointed me. He always offers tests, if something concerns him; offers epidurals, Spinal cord stimulator, PT, medicine - everything and anything just to help my pain and problems. I love him as a Dr and as a person. His office staff is great as well! Wish him health and happiness for ... read more

Dr. Waldman is simply the best Professional in his field. Besides being a good Doctor, he is a very compassionate and carrying person.

After many procedures, treatments, I trust him with all my heart and will recomend this wonderful Doctor to everyone, who is looking for the best of the best!

This is my 3rd year as his patient and he is amazing. He is one the reasons I remain living in NYC, and if he left I would travel to see him. I am a 'complex patient' with a number of incurable and degenerative chronic conditions, including some rare ones and some I have had for 10+ and 15+ years. He has repeatedly gone above and beyond to ensure appropriate diagnoses and treatments, and referred me to other Drs when its beyond his scope. He explains things well, he listens to what I say, and he actually CARES! He is not bia... read more

Post lamanectomy I was pretty much incapacitated both physically and emotionally. Doctors I had seen previous to Dr. Waldman spoke with scalpels in their hands. A previous epidural lasted two weeks. My wife and I had planned a trip, Dr. Waldman was our last hope for any kind of fun. Two weeks before the trip treated me. He pulled no punches. You may need fusion surgery, but not now. It's been four months. As he predicted, I may need more shots and even surgery. But I got 4 months of living.
