Everything and everyone was so very nice
kind, personable and easy to talk with
I had an outstanding experience at Hughston Clinic. From the moment I arrived, the staff was kind, courteous, caring, and professional. They quickly got me registered and brought me in to see Dr. Waldrop. The office was clean and comfortable, which added to the positive experience. Dr. Waldrop was exceptional. He thoroughly reviewed the X-rays taken and immediately understood what was going on with my wrist. His top priority was gaining a complete understanding of my condition, and he promptly ordered the necessary tests and provided the appropriate prescription. I felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire visit. I highly recommend Dr. Waldrop and the entire team at Hughston Clinic. Thank you for the excellent care!”
Excellent… on time at appt time. Great nurse and Dr. Waldrop.
Dr. Waldrop has been my Doctor for 51 years, Dr. Hughston told me in 2000, I will assist Dr. John Waldrop on your knee surgery and it's still great. He has done both shoulders and removed 2 Bakers cyst. I wouldn't go to anyone else and I'm sure one day he will pass me to someone else. You are an incredible Doctor who cares about his patients ♥️ you
Dr Waldrop and Dr Neil have always answered my questions and listened well. I appreciate them for working with me on my knee. I know it was a difficult one but I finally crossed the finish line and made it to completion. I'm glad That Dr Waldrop didn't give up on me! Thank you sir!
