I find Dr. Waitekus very concerned and he's very thorough and I'm so glad I've only seen him a few times, but I'm having a problem so he's been right on it. I also like to mention [redacted], that is his assistant. She is lovely and the front desk people are great. They all make you feel comfortable. being in the medical field myself working for a doctor. I compare the old days to the new days and they treat you just the way you want to be treated. And I thank them all very much.

Have not had positive experience with physician assistants. Incorrect diagnosis on two occasions. The first was not diagnosing my polymialgia rheumatica from obvious blood markers being extremely elevated. On another occasion I was sent to a dermatologist who diagnosed my surgical head wound as a deep infection requiring emergency cranial surgery. The dermatologist wondered why I was referred to him since my grave condition was obvious.
