Dr. Wagoner was very thorough going thru the recent radiology images and reports, my history and office examination. I have complete trust in his opinion. I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Wagoner and Dr. Frank Lopez on my care team. As well as all the others on my care team at NM.

I heard Wagoner's focused voice when going under and two female students lowering my body into a simple garden plot. A subtle and thoroughgoing Dr. Jack and his caring bedside team remained thoughtful and steady the entire time on the assembly's goal of "The Colonoscopy" and My Rear End!!! He's modest! Who says we can't have a little light hearted, friendly, and seriously fun interaction at work? Not me! Lettuce be friends. Thank you and keep it up!

Dr. Wagoner was very approachable and was careful with explaining what to expect. He was not rushed or inattentive. I anyone who might have great concerns about surgery would find a conversation with Dr. Wagoner comforting and walk away with a confidence that all will be well. I would send anyone to him with a surgery in their future.
