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.

Great bedside manner and treatment
Dr. Waugh took great care to understand exactly what was going on with my hand, worked through a thorough diagnostic, and then presented me with a couple of treatment options.

GREAT DOCTOR!
Dr Waugh makes you feel comfortable, yet he also cuts to the chase. If you are like me, you have self-diagnosed your issue. Dr Waugh not only agreed with some of my findings but also disagreed with some, especially with my wrist injury. My recent elbow bursitis has almost been fixed by simple compression. as opposed to unnecessary drugs. I trust this amazing doctor 100%

Dr. Waugh was concerned about my problem and suggested a nerve study to determine the exact problem with the nerves in my right hand. I am highly satisfied with the care i received from Dr. Waugh and look forward to our next meeting.

About Me

care philosophy

The hand is what makes your thoughts and intentions reality. Injuries to the hand are not only complicated and challenging, but one cannot overstate the importance of restoring function to this amazing tool. I am happiest when I am able to help people get back to the business of making everyday tasks simple again

biography

My approach is to provide a number of options for treatment with allowing the patient to make the final decision if possible.  I have a relaxed and confident bedside manner and give my patients my full attention.
