Carl Waldman's Online Review Report Card

I could never make an appointment with him, as he was always out during the time of our appointment.

He is a good doctor

was not pleased I dont think he seems to be races. I was explaing to him and he wasnt listening.I was diagnosa with vertigo.

I went to him a few years ago. I didn’t sleep for 2 weeks and wanted an MRI done. He gave sluggish expressions and was adamant to let me know he was in a bad mood or try and put that on me. I asked him for it and he told me the next one was in 2 weeks and he only checked because I was persistent about it. He said I didn’t need it (but I actually did need it because 5 years later I learned I had a misdiagnosed concussion). I told him I know doctors can send 2 patients down for an MRI per day. And he got embarrassed and mad at me and just told me to pick a day. So I said I’ll be the 2 weeks one. I asked him what I should do because I wasn’t sleeping and I was worried I was going to die, he said “if you didn’t sleeping 2 weeks you’ll be okay not sleeping for another 2 weeks”. No advice, no comfort, just pure slob of “my life is miserable and I’ll make you pay for it.” I was 19.

Rude, lacks professional skills, extremely disappointed.

Dr Waldman diagnosed me correctly when other doctors had misdiagnosed me. He encouraged me to be admitted to the hospital. If my condition had worsened, he very well could have saved my life. He is an excellent and thorough neurologist.

now part of penn medicine, west chester pa. Dismissive and impatient. Wait for apt with Dr. Haplea, do not waste your visit by seeing Dr. Waldman. Saw new doc next day and on the way to recovery.

now in practice with Dr. Haplea and Dr. Weinblatt. Tried to get a family member in to see Dr. Haplea due to positive experience...but he was a 3 mo. wait. Dr. Waldman less than two week wait. Family member declining rapidly and family doctor had no more ideas. Dr. Waldman got bogged down with Medicare questions. Do you have grad bars in the bathroom? type questions, not related to the problem. He ignored the rapid progression of symptoms,. He was impatient and did not listen well. One of the symptoms was that the patient had trouble expressing thoughts....but it clearly annoyed him. "mild Cognitive impairment" is not a diagnosis, its a symptom that solves nothing. When questioned about Lyme, he refereed to Infectious Disease Specialist. Would not test. Saw Lyme Doc next day--an excellent one and the patient was put on Lyme Meds immediately even before tests come back. Classic late stage in the # 1 most Lyme county in the US. If you go to this office, wait for Dr. Haplea.

I was referred to Dr. Waldman because of headaches that 3 other doctors--one Internists, an oral surgeon and a dentist--said were related to sinus issues. I found Mr. Waldman frenetic, theatrical and he said my headache was due to tension--even though I flatly stated that I was not under any undue stress. Once a dental implant was screwed into the socket that was previously drilled into my head, my headaches--which only occurred when I bent over--stopped immediately. I concluded that the three other doctors were correct in diagnosing my headaches as sinus related and that the tension headache diagnosis was not correct even with evidence point toward a sinus issue and testimony point away from a tension headache. I have strongly discouraged my wife from seeing him with issues she has and would do the same for any friend.

My experience with Dr. Waldman was very negative. He under-rated the seriousness of my neurological ailment and this delay has plagued my health ever since. He acted, at times, like I was faking something or overdoing my pain. I could not press upon him the rapidity of developments. My smartest move was going elsewhere, outside his colleagues and off to specialists in New York. I concluded that does not have broad knowledge of the causes of neuropathy.
