Angie D.
Dr. Wame was referred to us after my husband was injured (broken clavicle and scapula) in Virginia. We didn’t know what to expect, but Dr. Wame explained in detail what was needed. He performed the surgery needed, which was such a blessing to us. He, along with his staff, is the nicest, most caring team of professionals. I highly recommend them to anyone. I pray God continues to bless these wonderful people.
Samantha M.
My partner went to Dr. Waggenspack for a clavicular fracture. I was so impressed by his level of care. In particular, Dr. Waggenspack was excellent at communicating with us about the surgery. I highly recommend him.
Stephanie C.
Dr. Waggenspack is excellent. I fractured and dislocated an already injured (torn rotator cuff) shoulder a couple of months ago. I could not have found a better doctor to patiently and honestly explain to me exactly what to expect, and what steps in healing needed to be done in order to heal the mess I had made of my shoulder. He is kind, gentle and very, very good at what he does. I have come such a long way in my healing process with his guidance and help.
Monica Z.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Waggenspack and his team. I’m very grateful to have had him work on my shoulder a few years ago, when I needed a lot of work done. Thanks to his expertise, and care, I’ve made a full recovery. I highly recommend him.
