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.

Great Doctor
Dr. Waterman listened to my concerns and immediately put me at ease. I would highly recommend Dr. Waterman.

Wonderful doctor and staff
Dr Waterman did a great job explaining the procedure and making sure my son and I felt very comfortable before, during and after the surgery! His nurses were very nice and caring as well. The follow up care we received after my son’s surgery was amazing and I would recommend Dr Waterman and his staff any day.

Best Ortho Doctor
Dr Waterman arrived to St Vincent Fishers hospital about 11 PM and took care of my 15 year old sons broken wrist. He was so kind, explaining everything to me and my son, took time to answer my questions and had the best bedside manner I’ve experienced in a physician. He is simply the best. Talking with him in the ER, I learned that he takes care of the Ball State University athletic teams and a high school in Muncie Indiana. He exceeded expectations and my son is on the mend about 24 hours after his skateboard crash.

Each visit is always a VIP treatment. The staff have a great positive demeanor that they focused on your issues and needs like this is your moment and we are here for you. Dr. Watermann, the team captain. likewise is meticulous in finding out what's with your present situation and concern and will definitely assess your physical well being and make sound recommendations to rectify and make you whole again. The "can do and encouraging ambience of the clinic serves as a big kicker that helps reduce and forget some of pain on my shoulder. I am confident that he will methodically approach the cure for my left shoulder issue just as good if not better what he did for my right shoulder. Definitely the "go to Doc" specifically for these kinds of issues.
