Patient Reviews
Jan 22, 2024
I have been Dr Waters patient for many years. He is always friendly, professional and caring. He always explains what he is going to do and answers all my questions. He listened when I told him my voice was hoarse even though most people didn’t notice. He referred me to a speech pathologist opera voice trained….I had excellent results and I so appreciated his help. I have seen him again recently for another voice concern. He did my exam and immediately calmed my concerns saying it is not cancer….And then told me what it was and how I could make some dietary changes to improve it. My experience with Dr Waters is that he suggests the least invasive solutions. I highly recommend Dr. Waters.
