Patient Reviews
Sep 02, 2022
Dr Waldau saved my life a few years ago now. Thinking of him and realizing what he did for me and my family always leaves me eternally grateful and thankful. He continues to save others performing the most complex of treatments. How I was so lucky to have him as my doctor in a life or death emergency is truly an act of God. Thank you Christi FNP (a Daisy Award recipient) and Dr Waldau for the best of care!
