Mr. Seth A Waldman

My husband was petrified at the thought of caudal injection. Dr. Waldman met with us, calming educated us to the procedure. My husband's anxiety diminished and had a successful caudel injection. P Nichols

I came to see Dr. Waldman from NJ after I started having right sided lower back pain. Dr. Walkman knew that my significant other and I are medical professionals and he still sat with us for over 30 minutes to explain the details of the entire MRI while showing us exactly what he saw and what his concerns were. He was exceptionally thorough and professional. He offered me options for treatment and considered my goals for rehabilitation. His fellow was also very thorough, friendly, and professional.

Dr. Waldman takes the time and has the skill and interest in listening to the patient. He explains everything with honest, forthrightness as well as thoroughness and respect for the patient’s ability to understand. He appears very knowledgeable and current in his awareness of health issues. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Waldman not only knowlegable, experienced Doctor, he is also very carrying and kind, who is there for his patients any time you need him. I drive to his office from Jersey Shore for 14 years, see him once a month and not once Dr. Waldman disapointed me. He always offers tests, if something concerns him; offers epidurals, Spinal cord stimulator, PT, medicine - everything and anything just to help my pain and problems. I love him as a Dr and as a person. His office staff is great as well! Wish him health and happiness for many years ahead!

I’ve been going to Dr. Waldman for several years and he had been nothing short of excellent. Some of the reviews posted here I’ve never experienced. He listens, is very kind, sympathetic, thorough, returns my calls, and gentle. I trust his judgment.

Dr. Waldman is God-sent! He doesn’t prescribe narcotics routinely, if that’s what you’re looking for as a bandaid for your pain. He takes a detailed history, listens intently to what his patients have to say, orders the appropriate tests, shows you the results and discusses at length treatment options. If something doesn’t work, he has a back up plan. He doesn’t rush into surgery either, unless all options are exhausted. He’s a gentle and caring soul who clearly has devoted his life to making back pain more manageable. I’ve been seeing him for over three years and have a very complex case and I recommend him highly.

Horrible! Only one word to describe it. No empathy for pain and very rude. Very upsetting after Dr Dave left

Unless you want a doctor who never returns a call or who washes his hands of you without an explanation when his procedure doesn’t work ...then Dr Waldman is your guy!

The most unbelievably kind , patient and effective pain management Dr one could have. His staff is warm and helpful in reducing anxiety.I have found his office staff to be very responsible in collaborating with my other HSS Drs and getting back to me ASAP.

This is my 3rd year as his patient and he is amazing. He is one the reasons I remain living in NYC, and if he left I would travel to see him. I am a 'complex patient' with a number of incurable and degenerative chronic conditions, including some rare ones and some I have had for 10+ and 15+ years. He has repeatedly gone above and beyond to ensure appropriate diagnoses and treatments, and referred me to other Drs when its beyond his scope. He explains things well, he listens to what I say, and he actually CARES! He is not biased by my age which other doctors have been. He is the only Dr who has managed to actually improve some of my pain. He is in high demand though, and very busy, so I book my appointments early and if I don't hear back on a call or message I just follow up again.

Post lamanectomy I was pretty much incapacitated both physically and emotionally. Doctors I had seen previous to Dr. Waldman spoke with scalpels in their hands. A previous epidural lasted two weeks. My wife and I had planned a trip, Dr. Waldman was our last hope for any kind of fun. Two weeks before the trip treated me. He pulled no punches. You may need fusion surgery, but not now. It's been four months. As he predicted, I may need more shots and even surgery. But I got 4 months of living.

The purpose of a pain management specialist is to help treat your pain and in theory, make you feel better. A pain management MD who doesn't return a patients repeated phone calls when they are in pain, doesn't instill a lot of patient confidence. Reputations are one thing but actual patient care and compassion are something entirely different. Shame on you Dr. Waldman.

Dr Waldman is the best at what he does. And I've seen several of the other so-called best spine related pain specialists. No comparison.

Staff is friendly. Appointments and procedures are always on time, and most important: This doctor is beyond empathetic and caring. He thinks outside of the box and after years of suffering, he has my pain under control.

Dr. Waldman is amazing and so is his staff. They are helpful, hopeful and kind. If you or a loved one has chronic pain, this should be your first stop.

I wish all doctors were like Dr. Waldman. He makes you feel comfortable the first time you see him. He is kind, smart, understanding and intuitive. He is extrordinarily thoughtful and even returns e-mails when it is important. I'm sorry he doesn't take my insurance anymore. He understands the questions asked, and unasked and answers both. He is compassionate and really cares about his patients.Strongly RECOMMEND!!! HE IS THE BEST.

I don't have enough words to describe how happy I am after I met Dr Seth Waldman. I had 2 other Pain Mgmt Drs before him and was very disappointed. I travel every month to see him to NYC and it worth it since no other Dr like him. He spends as much time as I need to answer all my questions, to explain all I need to know and always finds words of encouragement. Not easy to have a patient who survived 2 serious spinal fusions, struggles with pain 24/7 and has many complications and nerve damages. But in 6 years I never heard from him "Nothing can be done", he always finds a solution to help me and I am very grateful for that. I recommend him to everyone who needs a good PM Dr; I promise you will not regret. L.V. I don't have enough words to describe how happy I am after I met Dr Seth Waldman.
