Dr Wald was fantastic, understanding, reassuring. I was quite nervous meeting her for the first time but I felt a bond within minutes of being with her.
Dr Wald inspires great confidence and is always extremely professional. I cannot imagine anyone better to have on the case.
Understanding, responsive and able to answer questions no other professional has before.
Always available, when needed. Fast and precise diagnosis, great empathy
Totally compassionate and insightful, with a heartening ‘bedside’ manner, with an expansive understanding and with complete focus and clarity on priorities. One couldn’t have been luckier than to have found her and that she is part of my life and a veritable lifesaver, with the bonus of having a marvellous and much appreciated positive approach attitude and sense of humour.
She is an unusual doctor with compassion and understanding
Again, as always, helpful, supportive, spot-on, excellent summary of time between session and forward thinking positivity.
We felt comfortable with Dr Wald, having the right balance between technical and personal considerations. She has been very supportive of the patient and with the patient's family, has been meticulous in following up the agreed actions. The patient and the family would be confident about continuing support from Dr Wald in the future.
As previously, dr Wald is very understanding and caring. She can very accurately summarise in medical terms everything we discuss. I feel very reassured after speaking to Dr Wald and would recommend her to anyone.
