:( Click to report rating    6/4/09 5 2 1 I suffered years of intense pain from undiagnosed Ankylosing Spondylitis starting at age 19. I kept going to Dr. Wadge over and over and over again. Dr. Wadge sent me for X-Rays (early AS will not show up on an X-Ray) then he wanted to send me to a psychiatrist!!! He said it must be stress!! I didn't even know what stress was at that age. I had a calm, happy, peaceful life other than the pain I was suffering. I begged for help. He sent me to a physio who in turn sent me home with some photo-copies of exercises. Back to Dr Wadge again...this went on and on until he finally told me that I might be imagining it!!!! I switched Drs soon after that. The next Dr didn't diagnose it either, it turned out to be an opthamologist who diagnosed it 15 years after the onset. But, at least the next Dr didn't try to send me to a shrink or tell me it was all in my head!!!! Good thing to hear he's retiring so he does not misdiagnose again!!!!! :(

:) Click to report rating    5/17/08 5 5 5 I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Dr. Wadge!!! He's retired now, and I don't know what I'm going to do. He was there for me emotionally during a relationship breakup...and helped me through several cold and flu seasons... as well as the "Why the heck do I feel this way" seasons. He's the BEST, I'm going to miss him !

:) Click to report rating    6/25/07 5 5 I absolutely Love DR. Wadge. Both my children were delivered by him. That was 32 years ago. Whenever I took my children to see him they acted like it was a big social occasion. They loved him also. When my sister was in the hospital with lung cancer I ran into him and he was very supportive and careing. He helped me get through it. I cannot ever replace him, he's one of a kind. And I beg to differ, he isn't past his prime, not at all. Last year I moved away and have had to find another doctor. I have one now but he can never replace Dr. Wadge!

:) Click to report rating    6/8/07 5 5 Dr. Wadge gave birth to me 31 years ago and I will be extremely sad to see him retire next year. Hopefully I can find a Dr. as great and as understanding as he is.

:) Click to report rating    5/16/07 4 5 Dr. Wadge has been our Dr. for 30 year. He is professional, caring and always seems to have the time to listen and recommend options appropriately. He will be missed but certainly deserves to have a wonderful retirement!!

:) Click to report rating    5/1/07 5 5 In ten years I have never watited more than 10 minutes. He will even fit you in between appointments if there are special circumstances. Works great hours for working people. He is very caring and knowledgeable and if he doesn't know something or is unsure, he will refer you to a specialist. He takes time to explain things to you. Wonderful caring doctor and he will be missed when he retires.

:) Click to report rating    4/7/07 4 5 I cannot say enough about Dr. Wadge. He has been there for me & mine for over 30 years. He delivered my son, counseled my family, stopped in many times just to see how my grandma was doing after my grandad died. He always has time, gives it to you straight when you ask him to. I wish he wasn't nearing retirement as I am getting older and will need a good doctor as I age. Really good G.P.'s are hard to come by these days.

:) Click to report rating    3/16/07 5 5 Dr. Wadge's hands were the first to touch me as he delivered me into this world. My family also went to the same church with him and his children. I've always seen him or the lady doctor in his practice. He has surrounded himself with other great pracitioners and I've gotten to know them all over the years. I feel I could talk to him about anything. He helped my family after my father suffered a brain injury and sees my parents regularly. Last year when my mother was hospitalized, I ran into him the next morning at the gas station- it was like running into an angel when you needed one the most- I told him what happened as we pumped gas and he told me his opinion and that it might not be that bad afterall before he rushed off and I headed back to the hospital. It made a big difference to me. I don't know what my parents will do once he's gone or if I'll be as fortunate for my future family to have such a great family doctor.

:| Click to report rating    3/12/07 2 2 We have used him as a family doctor for years, but he is just waiting to retire. I felt rushed, even though I have known him my whole life. I find that his heart is not into it anymore, and that he can be judgemental from time to time. I believe that he was a good doctor but is past him prime and that he should retire because his heart is not into it anymore...he needs to be doing something else in medicine as he seems to have lost his passion for general practice. We love him as a person, but find that he can't wait to leave the room to get the job done....so to speak. I always end up forgetting to ask him something, because I feel so rushed.

:) Click to report rating    2/2/07 5 5 Dr. Wadge has been my doctor for about 35 years and I think he is excellent . I do not want him to leave when it is time for him to retire . I know that is selfish but he is so thorough and so willing to take the time to hear me when I tell him about any problem I have. He is very concerned and will refer me to a specialist or order tests to find out more information so he can get to the bottom of the ailment. He always tells me to let him know if I have any problems regarding treatment ,to come back for further advise or tests. He is a diligent,caring,concerned and responsable doctor. I do not know what I will do when he retires because I don't know if I can find someone as capable as he is.
