I believe Dr Wagner provided exceptional care for me. He was kind and very interested in my input. He was extremely approachable and available for questions. I just completed surgery for prostate cancer and am very pleased with the results so far. His staff has also been very helpful and easy to contact. If I could give him 10 stars I would!
