Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.

He gave me back my life. I always leave appointments feeling upbeat. When I email, his staff is quick to help. Dr. Waterman and his team are magnificent.
- August 1, 2023 Un Doctor muy preocupado ycon mucha atención hacia mi situacion
- August 1, 2023 Dr Waterman was recommended to me by friends that had care/surgery with his office. I was hesitant to schedule with such a high profile physician, thinking he would be so busy that my ailment wouldn't be important enough. I was very happy with my visit. Dr. Waterman explained the procedure to me, discussed options and allowed me to make an informed decision moving forward. I was very impressed with the personal care and accessibility to him. Yes, he is very busy. But he took time to make sure I had a productive appointment. I am glad I met with him and made the decision to have my surgery with him/his office.

He was careful to listen and advise accordingly.
- May 18, 2023 Para mi el mejor cirujano de todos los tiempos… le estoy muy agradecido
- May 13, 2023 I would say at this point most everything is great except wish we could get Sedgwick my provider from American Airlines and Atrium Health to be able to have a better business relationship so it wouldn't take so long to be approved for medical services. I understand Sedgwick is a large company. They should be able to be approached with a business agreement that would work for all parties involved. I'm sure it's all about financial agreements. Shouldn't be a problem to make this happen. American Airlines employees alot of people in this area. It just was extremely to long to get approved for my situation.

- February 5, 2023 Very kind and thoughtful

I asked him if he knows a good orthopedic knee doctor, this gentleman highly recommended Dr. Waterman. A couple of days later, I was playing pickleball with a group of people and we were talking about knees, I asked of any recommendations on an orthopedic, one of the ladies had knee surgery from Dr. Waterman and highly recommended him to me. I was sold on the 2 people that recommended him to me, so i made myself an appointment and I was very satisfied with Dr. Waterman visit.
- October 22, 2022 I had surgery by Dr Waterman in May 2022. He is an exceptional surgeon and a wonderful human being.

I recommend Dr Waterman with absolutely no reservations. I have had a smooth postoperative course and feel quite blessed to have had this man as my orthopedic surgeon. He is skilled, compassionate and truly cares about his patients. I am grateful to Dr Waterman and his staff for such exceptional care. Thank you.
