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.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He is very fun and enthusiastic, very funny too.

Dr. Mark is wonderful- we wish the whole family could see him! Always takes as much time as needed- never rushes- listens and understands- and gets our daughter well! We feel more like friends than clients-very old school bedside manner. Can’t say enough good about him and his nurse, Melanie. Absolutely the best!

I went to Dr. Mark my entire life. He was easy to get in to see anytime I came down with someone. He was caring, thoughtful, insightful, helpful & really “present” for each and every visit. I was sad to have to move on once I became an adult. I am disappointed my son’s insurance isn’t accepted or he’d be his pediatrician in a heart beat. Keep up the great work!

I couldn’t have asked for a better pediatrician for my kids. Extremely thorough. I’ve never felt like our appointments are hurried. He is so good at what he does that he addresses question or concerns that I may have before I ever have to say a word!

Dr. Waggenspack saw us at 430 after my son came home from school letting us know that his chest began burning in 4th period at school and that he had difficulty breathing. Dr. Waggenspack and his staff were very attentive and thorough and caring as they treated my son. They were a blessing.

I would recommend Dr. Waggenspack to any and everyone who is looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and all around fantastic pediatrician. He takes care of the whole child. Not only did he take care of my baby he also took care of me. He encouraged me while I was breastfeeding. He spends time with his patients. He listens to them. He doesn't act like a know it all. He is very thorough. Most of all my child loves him. How many children ask to go see their doctor when they are not sick.
