Dr Waldbaum was born in Zimbabwe, a country in sub-Saharan Africa. As the son of two physicians some of his earliest childhood memories were traveling to rural villages in Africa with his parents while they were providing medical care for the residents.
Dr. Waldbaum grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. When he completed high school he moved to Washington, D.C. to pursue studies in history and political science. While he found his studies interesting, it only took six months living in Washington for Dr. Waldbaum to realize that a career in the political world was not for him. At that time Dr. Waldbaum changed his course of study to pursue a career in medicine, influenced by his first hand knowledge of the satisfaction his parents had enjoyed through the practice of medicine.
After medical school at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Dr. Waldbaum completed an internship and residency specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Northwestern University Medical School and The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. Dr. Waldbaum obtained Board Certification in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation with additional Board Certification in Sports Medicine as well as Board Certification in Pain Medicine. Dr Waldbaum currently holds an appointment as an Assistant Professor at the University of Central Florida college of Medicine.
Following residency, Dr. Waldbaum returned to Cleveland where he worked with an orthopaedic surgery group and served as Senior Clinical Instructor at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. After several trips to the Central Florida area with their two young children in order to escape the harsh Cleveland winters, Dr. Waldbaum and his wife decided to leave the snow and grey skies behind and permanently make their home here in Central Florida.
The focus of Dr. Waldbaum's practice is on non-operative treatment of musculoskeletal injuries with a particular focus on back and neck injuries. Care provided by Dr. Waldbaum includes coordination of rehabilitation, pain management procedures, medication management and testing of the neurologic system.
Dr. Waldbaum works closely with the Orthopaedic Surgeons at Florida Orthopaedic Associates to provide the best and most appropriate care for each individual. This includes close consultation with the surgeons and referral for surgery when non-operative treatment is inappropriate or has failed to achieve satisfactory results. Frequently the surgeons of Florida Orthopaedic Associates will refer individuals to Dr. Waldbaum for neurodiagnostic testing to help them evaluate symptoms and plan the most appropriate treatment or for non-operative management of musculoskeletal problems, such as a pain management procedure when surgery is not necessary or when a trial of non-operative care is warranted in an attempt to avoid surgery.

Put me at ease as the last eeg I had 23 yrs ago was very painful. He told me that the procedure was much less painful now and he was right. He had a way to put me at ease.
Thank you for listening and caring for me.
Personable, explained procedure, and mostly, which never happens anymore…he saw me at my scheduled appointment time!!! Not 30 mins later!
Dr.Waldbaum is an excellent doctor who cares about his patients.
Listens and answers my questions. Very nice.
Dr. Was friendly and nice made you feel comfortable, When he was finished though he said okay your done and said I could leave as he was walking out of the room. The nurse came in said go back to other room where wife was. I had blood up and down my legs and no clean up or mention of it from them I didn't know it was bleeding till other room. She came in and said um you can go now as I was still cleaning up blood from the needles used. Told her wife was in restroom and she mumbled something and walked out. The Dr did tell me he'd send results to my doctor tonight but that was it. I had other issues that wasn't discussed. Why give 5vpages of paperwork to not go over them?? But the Doctor Waldbaum was nice otherwise.
Dr. Waldbaum is always attentive to all your pain problems and does what he thinks is best for that situation.
Great conversation during procedure made everything go by rapidly.
Very Professional and Caring. Highly recommend.
Honest and thorough! Looks at everything not just where I thought my pain issue was was coming from. Easy to talk and listens . I felt confident I am getting the best care.
