Dr. Waldrop and his staff are the best I’ve seen for orthopedic surgery. I’m 78 y/o male active. He has totally replaced my left knee 8 years ago and has performed a right shoulder total reverse replacement 18 months ago. I’m averaging 197 - 200 bowling two nights a week and practicing three times a week. I wouldn’t be doing this without Dr Waldrop’s performing. He an his staff are fantastic.

This guy is a quack. And dishonest as well. he even got his scheduler to lie to me to tell me that he was booked up for the next 6 months yet the same week he put up a billboard in Eufaula that he was accepting new patients. It was all a big scam to get money before I could even meet the guy they wanted to charge me $10,000 up front. Do not go to Houston clinic do not go to Dr Waldrop you will regret it

Knowledgeable surgeon. However plan on waiting an hour from the time of your appointment to even be called back. Changes scheduled appointments the day of your appointment to come in earlier. Has no respect for your time and schedule.

Dr. Waldron has partially replaced both of my knees and cleaned up one shoulder. I could not have asked for anyone more knowledgeable and helpful during each and every one of my surgeries. I most defininately would/will use him again in the future!

Dr Waldrop is kind and very experienced. He's careful and a little obsessive compulsive - character traits I think are perfect for surgeons! He did my total knee replacement and I couldn't be happier with my choice of surgeon or hospital (Jack Hughston Memorial). He communicated clearly with me as I made the decision to have surgery. He checked on me several times each day when I was in the hospital, and also followed up to be sure my recovery was on track. He was available to answer questions, which was amazingly helpful. My recovery went smoothly, and I love my new knee. I can't think of a better choice for a surgeon!

Dr. Waldrop did an excellent job with my first knee replacement and I am about to have the second one done. I found him to be a professional, caring doctor that is genuinely concerned about his patients. He also immediately tries to correct any deficiencies on the part of the hospital staff.

The before posts puzzle me. I find Waldrop to be one of the most caring doctors I have ever seen and trusted him with my child who blew her knee twice in one year playing football. He knew we didn't have a lot of money and made sure that was not an issue. We became upset with some of his staff one time and he called them over to his office while we were there and read them the riot act. He has a sometimes dry sense of humor that can possibly be misinterpreted, but he was never rude or otherwise uncaring. He told us what was wrong, what we had to do, and we did it and got astoundingly good results. Wait times could be very long sometimes, but we got the best of care like the person before us. I have nothing but absolute praise for this man and the job he did on my child.
