Dr. Wagar always explains everything well. A very concerned doctor with patients well-being. Nurses are great, too.

This office has a unique way of making things feel " normal" and comfortable to talk about awkward topics.

Dr Wagar is a great listener and asks good questions. Other providers I've had spend most of their time looking at the computer -- Dr Wagar looks directly at me and is obviously already familiar with my medical record.

First and only time I interacted with him as all the other physicians were at a conference. With only a short time in a very busy day, I have no personal basis for recommending him or not. With this caveat: my physician would never trust his patients to anyone who wasn't top notch.
