Patient Reviews
Nov 04, 2021
Dr. Wadwha has been a great surgeon and wonderfully patient with my care. I have had two surgeries with him and am about to undergo another major surgery. My spine has had a lot of issues and he has taken time to explain all. His PA Eric is amazing and super responsive.
