I had been to the er so many times for abdominal pain. Every single doctor made me seem like I crazy except dr.laney. He ordered every test and he immediately said it was my gall bladder. The test came back fairly normal, when my HIDA scan wasn't terrible. We dedided to remove it, he was correct because when he pulled it out is was so inflamed and had tons of scar tissue. I had surgery just about 12 hours ago. Yes, I'm super sore! But I feel like a rock has been lifted out of my stomach and it is already life changing. Also, dr.laney was so caring and sweet. My entire family loved him and so did I. I was really apprehensive about this, I was literally crying and dr.laney spent time with us before surgery and made me feel better and even after surgery he came to check on me and stayed with my family. I requested before surgery that he didn't use staples and he just used sutures, which I really appreciated. It's been 12 hours since I lost my gallbladder and I feel like a different person, forever grateful for dr.laney. I feel normal again! I am a new person.

I had suffered for many years with bad pain in my hips and legs. Everyone, including other doctors,…read moreassumed it was my hips. But, yet I kept being told that my hips weren't bad enough for surgery. I switched to S.E. Sports Medicine and was immediately diagnosed with Trendelenburg Gait, meaning my glueteus medius and gluteus minimus tendons were ripped and torn from the bone. After an MRI which clearly verified my condition, Dr. Matthew Wham said that he could repair this. Because of my age, he couldn't be sure of the damage and atrophy until he got into the surgery, but he was hopeful. The surgery went VERY well! The 8 inch incision with 20 or more staples hardly hurt at all, and I am a real pain wuss. In 3 days I was up and using a walker, and I am in a brace from my hip to my knee for 2months, but I can tell that my previous constant pain down my right hip and leg is gone. Dr. Wham is amazing, and I would advise you to goggle him for his specialties and se if he can change your life, too!

I came here bc of the google reviews that were positive. I have taken a while to review Dr. Waldman…read moresince my appt bc I do not believe in negative reviews. However, now that time has passed, I want to save people time from going to Dr. W as I would have liked to know about this myself. Dr. Daniel L. Waldman (Dr. W going forward). Yes, he is friendly. We spent more time talking about his vacation to CA Joshua tree than my feet. Waited 30 min for my appt both times. We talked about his vacation for a good 10+ minutes, the focus was not on my feet. I was already late for work. He pushes his modalities on you without investigating what is going on or finding the root cause. In regards to the Xrays- Dr. W said is 'you have high arches'. My reply was that I have never had high arches and have very flat feet. He said 'that is not what the Xray shows.' I told him how had to balance myself standing during the Xray bc the tech has you standing on different levels with your feet so I am not surprised that the Xray is wrong. Instead of doing NEW Xrays- which would be ACCURATE, he says 'Oh well, I don't need them, I'll use my ultrasound machine'. This is lazy and inaccurate information in *my medical chart*. THE WORST the X-rays were part of a $1400 bill to my insurance! The incorrect X-rays are in my chart and Dr. W got money for them. I should at least have accurate X-rays in my chart. Not only is this lazy, this is affecting my health records. Unacceptable. The orthotic are unusable. They are too short in length and ones bought on amazon offer more support. He declares you get one free pair a year (check w/ your insurance). After the X-rays issue above, the orthotics are another way for Dr W to bill my insurance. The ones I have gotten online are better support and the right fit and much less $. I asked Dr W if he could recommend exercises and stretches for my plantar fasciitis. He said that exercises and stretches DO NOTHING and that what I need are cortisone shots. Later after my appointment of inaccurate X-rays and not looking at my shoes, or gait I found 100s of peer reviewed science articles on the relationship between tight calves and planter fasciitis, between knee issues and plantar fasciitis and that PT and exercises and stretching can definitely help with plantar fasciitis. It would appear that Dr W just wants to bill for those cortisone shots and his laser therapy machines. If he taught me to take care of my heel with PT and stretching, where would that $1400 bill go to my insurance? I would be cured without the need to keep using his machines and cortisone shots. I got more help from Joint Chiropractic that Dr W. The Joint looked at me walking (DR W DID NOT), they looked at my shoes (Dr W DID NOT), they looked at my movement of my foot (Dr W DID NOT) and they found it was stuck in a position that was pulling my leg muscles. They gave me a few stretches and exercises and the adjustment they did gave me a lot of pain relief from the plantar fasciitis. Dr. W just decided without looking at my gait, foot etc that he knew what the problem was bc of my swollen heel. It turns out that this is just a symptom of systemic issues, so treating how my knees are tracking, how my calves are too tight etc would get the plantar fascia to heel. He just wants to treat the pain, not address what is causing it. I did a lot of research on Drs before going to Dr. W in Feb 2023. He is getting by by prescribing catch all treatments without personalized care and being nice! He has lots of older people in his office who are doing his laser treatments. Do not support this type of Doctor. The worst part about our medical care these days is the amount of people who review Dr. W as nice. As if they are so desperate to have a nice Dr that proper medical treatment doesn't matter. Additionally, the office- it smells moldy. The dark paneling is super dirty and baseboards and floor are FILTHY. I did not even want to take my shoes off to touch that carpet and floor. If you are proactive about your foot issue and want to do exercises to heal or get to root cause, do not go to Dr Waldman. He is relying on the lazy way out for patients that pays for all his machines he has invested in that you are helping pay off. Don't bother doing anything on your end as a patient (ie lose weight, lower inflammation in your life, do PT exercises, get different shoes), instead just be reliant on cortisone shots and laser treatment. Read about how long you can do cortisone shots before causing tissue damage while you are at it. I am sure his response will be something mundane and not address these issues, or say he does not 'recognize' me by my handle but you all know how reviews work so please save yourself the time and find a good Dr with a clean office who is interested in helping you with the root cause and actually helping you heal instead of cluelessly bragging about his expensive vacation to Joshua tree.

Dr Shamly Dhiman performed surgery on my daughter's face for a basal cell carcinoma. We were not…read moreable to use a dermatologist because my daughter is mentally handicapped and needed to be put under for the procedure. The dermatologist said that I would need a general surgeon to do surgery and referred us to Surgical Specialists of Charlotte. I would not recommend Dr. Dhiman for surgery on the face. The area that was removed was under her right eye. Dr. Dhiman only used 4 surface level stitches to close the incision. There were no stitches used that dissolved in order to keep the incision from coming apart. When the stitches were removed a week after the surgery, the incision completely opened up leaving an ugly hole in her face. The after care instructions were not correct for surgery on the face. She told me just to use iodine and keep it dry. The dermatologist told me to use Vaseline to keep it moist. The iodine burned so badly because it was an open wound. I was only able to use it once. I'm not sure why her instructions were completely different from what information that I was told by others who had had the same surgery and by the dermatologist. There was no follow up appointment even though the incision opened up. I asked if they wanted me to bring her in and they said it wasn't necessary. Her primary care physician is the one who removed the stitches due to the bad weather when it snowed. We couldn't get to the office due to the weather and the weekend. We didn't want to wait until the next week because the longer the stitches stay in the face the more scarring there can be. As of now, the scar on her face is very obvious. The dermatologist said that she would most likely need plastic surgery in order to smooth it out. Given that she would have to be put under for that, we won't be having that done. Dr. Dhiman was a nice lady and she was very kind at the pre op appointments. I just would not recommend her for this type of surgery. Also, while she was under anesthesia, they drew blood to run some tests on her. Whoever did the blood draw, stuck her arm and hand five times and left her arm badly bruised. That took about weeks before the pain in her arm was better. I know that it wasn't a problem with her veins because I saw them put the IV in her other arm with no issues before the surgery.
