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. ***

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.

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 great to answer all my questions

(5)
11/1/2023

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.

(5)
11/1/2023

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.

It was the best in a long long time from my other doctor

(5)
11/1/2023

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.

(5)
11/1/2023

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.

Dr. Waters is such a kind doctor. She treats me very well. I find the patient records website difficult to use as far as looking at my test results is the only issue I have had.

Industry Relationships

University Hospitals is committed to transparency in our interactions with industry partners, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies. At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.

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. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.
