    Dr Walz was attentive and addressed all my concerns thoughtfully. It didn't feel like my baby was just another patient to him, it felt like he was very invested in her treatment, care and progress moving forward.

    Dr. Waltz is one of the best. So much so that all of my daughter's care is through WVU medicine and we make special trips to Pittsburgh for him.

    Drm Waltz was great. I knew it was a minor concern so the appointment was very quick, but he was appropriately thorough and answered all of our questions without rushing.
