Patient Reviews
Aug 12, 2024
Dr Waters is a consummate professional. His knowledge and wisdom is only overshadowed by his humble, earnest, compassionate bedside manner. With regard to competency Dr Waters is a tremendous asset to UTSW and the cardio-thoracic field in general. With regard to care and compassion he sets a standard, reminiscent of days past, which other Physicians should follow. He has been a blessing for my family and I encourage any who need a cardio-thoracic surgeon to seek him out.
