5.0 star star star star starDr Wagoner is a great surgeon second to none, with good bedside manners; he explains everything to us before & after surgery. He did a great job in performing the robotic assisted hernia repair with very minimal pain & no complications. He is our friend too.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Wagoner explains things well. He takes his time to be sure the patient understands and never seems to be in a hurry to be done. He has a very good bedside manner in my opinion. I have seen him work with family members in the past and have always felt he has a very good manner with all concerned.

5.0 star star star star starThis was the second time I talked with Dr. Wagoner; the first being about 2 years ago. He is JUST SO EASY TO TALK to!!!! He let me present my information, looked at my data and graphs from MyChart as I brought him up to date and why I was coming back. Many doctors cut me off and jump to the bottom line of what needs to be done. Where as Dr. Wagoner looked at what I had and then started to "connect the dots" with where we should be headed next and why. I felt that my input had been of value.

5.0 star star star star starDr Wagoner takes his time and you don't feel rushed, which is uncommon these days. Explains everything to a fine detail and answers all your questions. He made me feel better about getting surgery when needed.

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
