Patient Experience Reviews
Dr. Judith Waters is a caring internist!!
Good experience.
Dr. Waters is a wonderful Doctor.
I waited a very long time. I almost left because I needed to go to work. Next time I will ask for very first appointment
Love Judy Waters but her nurse help is always average
She was apologetic about me having to wait. Dr. Waters is very nice.
Dr, Waters has been my doctor for about 30 years and I have been pleased with her care. She has become a friend and I trust her.
Great experience! Definitely happy with this office as a whole! I do not have one bad thing to say about this office or the care I was provided.
I think Dr. Waters is great. ***
Love Dr Waters but it seems that over the years the wait times are alot longer. Both in the lobby and examining room. Seems like UH is over working staff.
The provider Dr. Waters is awesome. ***
Excellent care, concern & compassion from Dr. Judith Waters.
Good
Dr. Judith Waters is a great doctor! She is very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly! I appreciate Dr. Waters taking her time to listen and to ask if I have any health concerns. I trust Dr. Waters' professional opinions and approach for my health and care.
This was my first visit with this doctor. I was looking for a new PCP. I like Dr. Waters very much and plan to continue to see her as my PCP. She ordered some tests for me that were due and was quick to respond with results and explanations for any anomalies. She has ordered more tests based on the initial results and has been very good about keeping me informed. I am very happy I found her.
I know doctors are busy and asked to do too many things! I feel like I never know next steps. It's like you can only do one thing at a time in one appointment. I always want to ask: and then what? We run a test and then what?
Dr waters is a great doctor who is very patient, understanding and caring. She listens, advises and truly makes you feel cared for. She is the best. The phone system and process needs a lot of work. It is impersonal, long and the commercials need to be toned down.
The provider was fine. ***
Dr. Waters is very knowledgeable about my health, however she is very slow in getting in to see me. She is always late for appointments.Nice lady but very slow in seeing me.
Dr. Waters is such a kind, caring soul. She is always very helpful.
Very satisfied with Dr. Judith Waters care. She also listens to concerns the patient has. Excellent!
Dr. Waters is wonderful! She takes the time needed to find out what my problem is and is always concerned about my well-being. She knows my medical history and is helpful with any problems I may have.
Dr Judy was very caring.
Dr. Waters was great!!!
Dr waters excellant.
The doctor is fantastic ***
I'm a new patient and I really like Doctor Waters...I might have to wait longer in her office... But I don't mind if it's not real long... Doctor Waters is a good doctor and I feel she cares about her patients.
Dr. Waters is very nice sometimes I think she gets overwhelmed I usually have to send a text or call about results of tests plus I have to usually have to ask when I should come in again my old doctor wanted every 6 months. I understand it's hard to get good help.
Dr Waters is one of the best doctors I have had, she listens and is compassionate. I feel that her workload is way too heavy.
Great doctor. Her new nurse has also great. Super efficient.
Dr. Waters is a very patient and compassionate doctor. It is the office staff that I have a hard time with because the message does not get relayed to the doctor unless I called three or four times. Sometimes prescriptions are not called incorrectly due to the office staff not communicating effectively with the doctor. Dr Waters is an outstanding doctor and she is always very efficient with my care
*** I truly liked Dr. Waters but the wait time was a bit much.
She is a good provider, but sometimes appointments are rushed. She is very busy and cares about her patients. This last appointment was rushed. I felt the need to ask more questions. I should have been more aggressive
Dr. Waters is a credit to her profession and a blessing to all patients to whom she cares for. Her clinic is always extremely busy but she still gives each patient the time, attention and care that they need.
I honestly think it isn't Dr. Waters' fault that I had a long wait time. She sees a large volume of patients every day and does not rush through visits just to maintain an "on time" record. She is extremely caring, thoughtful, and professional. She can't do anything about a shortage of providers and a large patient population. I would much rather wait for her than see someone who would rush through a visit and not make me feel seen or heard. Let's not fault the doctors for showing up everyday and doing the best they can. The fact remains that there are far more patients than physicians.
To start, the office staff is fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. The nurse that worked with me was incredible as well. I wish I could remember her name so I could specifically mention her by name, but she was phenomenal. She was very caring and helpful. She had to come back after the visit to give me a shot, and she was just as great to work with. Dr. Waters is great she takes time to listen and understand questions. ***
Care provider is very attentive and kind involving me in decisions. ***
Always good overall. Never a problem with the staff.
Due to bone on bone knees and weight issues I was unable to walk well or long and can't use wheelchair, so Dr. Waters very kindly came out to my van to see me. I was very grateful for her concern and willingness to accommodate my limitations. She went above and beyond my expectations and I am very, very grateful.
Everything is good except the wait time past your appointment.
Dr. Waters is the most caring, professional, compassionate as well as knowledgeable and brilliant physician I've ever had. She is truly one of a kind, skilled beyond measure yet humble and attentive to her patient's needs thoroughly and consistently. I highly recommend her to anyone, always.
Dr. Waters is an excellent and caring doctor who listens and responds to my health needs.
Dr. Waters and her nurse were both excellent. They made me feel comfortable and the experience was very good.
Dr. Waters is a caring physician. She really listens to her patients.
Very compassionate and dedicated physician
Very good
I love Dr. Waters. She is the primary care physician I have always hoped to find. She always runs late but I am happy to wait because I know I am going to receive the care and concern she shows all of her patients. I trust her and feel I can tell her anything!
Quality healthcare always provided. ***
I like my Doctor or I would not go there she is good
Excellent care
Overall dr waters is excellent and caring and staff was great
I really like Dr. Waters. ***
Dr waters always shows concern for my care, answers all my questions and doesn't rush me. I know when I schedule appointments that the wait will be longer than 15 minutes and I'm ok with this. Her overall care is great. She is down to earth and calm as well as knowledgeable.
Dr.Waters is always open to get me into the office quickly, often on short notice,
Great physician however wait time was over an hour. I think she is overbooked
I love Dr. Waters. She is very caring and compassionate. I just wish the wait time was less.
Dr waters very patient and attentive. Staff very helpful
Dr. Waters is always thorough, considerate and pleasant during my exams. She is a good listener and takes a sincere interest in my health. Thank you.
This office and staff are always professional, courteous and caring towards me and my family members. We are always treated with respect
I've come to learn you will wait to be seen and prescriptions don't all get called in, but Dr. Waters is worth all this.
*** Dr Waters is great to answer all my questions
Dr Waters is excellent,caring Doctor but she is overwhelmed with people trying to see her. She needs help with additional Doctors. I waited 2 hours in lobby with many more individuals. This is totally unacceptable. Help her out.
Dr Waters is fantastic and is the reason I continue to go to this office. She needs more workers to do all the preliminary vitals and medical history. Hire paramedics or anyone with medical training to start the process. The wait time is unacceptable and continues to happen every time I go into this office.
Dr Waters is the best physician I had in quite a while
Good experience.
It was the best in a long long time from my other doctor
I love Dr. Waters and have complete confidence in her. I have told her more about my medical history than I have told my last PCP. I wish the office staff was more consistent and competant. I wish I would get a response sooner when I call for refills. I feel when I call and talk to the staff, they sound like they don't know what they are doing. Check in process is long, and you can have a line of ppl waiting behind you, so no, you aren't going to check in at your appointment time. There is a huge learning curve with their new computer system.
Love being able to do bloodwork at her office. So convenient.
I love Dr. Waters! Her only negative is that you have to wait to see her but I know this so I bring something to read. She is worth the wait! Her recommendation of a CT scan literally saved my life.

UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually.
