Wattenmaker Ian's Online Review Report Card

Dr Wattenmaker is very compassionate doctor, he took time to listen to me and I never felt rushed.

That's happening to me, the doctor don't understand that I got injured in the job , I told him that I was on terrible back pain, he said I have nothing, he send me back to the full duty the same day .

Mid 1990’s. Was in an auto accident in which vehicle went airborne. Ending up crushing my L1 vertebrae. Rather than doing a surgery that would have required going in through my abdomen, DR Wattenmaker treated me with a full body brace. After 4 months I was able to return to work replacing and installing both commercial and residential heating and air conditioning equipment. At 76 years of age still installing heating and air conditioning equipment and have have no issues with my back. Thanks

Approximately 9 years ago I thought I never would walk again or be pain free. I stepped off a tractor and went to my knees unable to stand up. The pain was beyond imagination. After going to the er and having a MRI my wife wanted to find the best surgeon available regardless of location or distance. This doctor was highly recommended by other doctors and patients. After looking at the MRI before the radiologist did this surgeon said that surgery was needed due to the damage. After my surgery this doctor stayed in contact with me and gave me healing instructions. After putting titanium rods and screws along with a cage in my back I was able to walk perfectly again. And now years later I'll still running daily and doing normal things pain free. I didn't think it was possible. I've referred friends and family to this gifted surgeon. I've had numerous people that have said once you have back surgery you'll have to have it again and again. Today I have to remind myself not to do certain things like picking up extremely heavy objects to maintain the successful surgery. To anyone needing back surgery this is your doctor.

I had to go today for an independent medical evaluation. Although i do not know what my results are, i feel compelled to share my experience. The ride took me almost two hours that sucked! However the office is absolutely gorgeous. The office staff was extremely polite, even offered my sister something to drink while she was waiting on me. The doctor although very professional, was nice and actually took the time not only to exam me but also to discuss all of my symptoms. I was terrified...but God's grace heped me through this exam. And i was pleasantly surprised that after all the negative reviews ...that wasn't at all my experience!Unfortunately I am learning that as with many workers comp doctors, they get more money for giving a report that allows workers comp to release you.I was released on full duty because apparently my pain/injury isn't because of my injury at work. That's it case closed.
