Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He does not care
Always rude and argumentative never listens and when you have concerns he see them as complaints mocked my religion I switched doctors immediately

He didn’t believe us and it was a slap in the face
My kids no longer see Dr. Wigder but I had to do this review. My daughter had her first seizure at age 10. After taking her to the ER they told us to follow up with her pcp. Dr Wigder told me and my daughter that “healthy 10 year olds just don’t start having seizures.” Then when she described what her seizure was like, he said “that’s something you see in movies not in real life.” He didn’t believe us and it was a slap in the face. Fast forward many seizures later, a new pcp and being under a neurologist care, we found the cause of her epilepsy. So yes Dr. Wigder, healthy 10 year olds can absolutely just start having seizures. His arrogance is astounding. He was loud and wrong.

My child has been seeing Dr. Wigder since he was born (about 3 years). We moved away from the area and still commute to see Dr. Wigder. We think he's a great doctor, very factual and to the point, while still having a caring personality for our child.

I did a virtual visit with Dr. Wigder and he was horrible. Very stiff and did not seem to care about what I was saying at all. He did not even ask to lay eyes on my baby, he just listened to what I said about her and then gave me a very broad lame answer and acted like I was wasting his time. He has very poor bedside manner, even if it was a virtual visit. I do not recommend him at all.

very straight forward and always polite, always addresses my concerns and explains things to me. My best friend has him also and we both love him. Yes he is very serious but very attentive and gives you the facts, and listens to your concerns.

He is a bad doctor. I had inform him about my child health and weight, he keep on replying she is normal for that weight since her mother is petite. My daughter ending up getting tb due to his careless of her weight loss and thinking she has the skinny gene as her Mom.

He's very serious. Doesn't like interacting much. Will go in check on baby and leave - doesn't make you feel comfortable in his office. Very good with returning calls but he's very short when you talk to him. He's good but very serious. Seems like he's too busy for the patient. One time, when he was on vacation, another doctor from his office saw my baby and it was very different, the other doctor was much more friendly. Tried to change doctors but the other doctor was capped.
