Just don’t go. He doesn’t care. He doesn’t listen. He does NOT use a numbing agent before doing a thyroid biopsy (I did not go through with it).

I saw Dr. Wadwekar back in May due to having high cortisol in my blood. I spoke with his NP, Jena, first and she was very nice and extremely thorough. When I saw the doctor he spent all of two minutes with me, said that I may have a brain tumor, and that I need more testing. No explanation. I went and did the extra testing and got my results back before my appointment. When I saw that some of the results were abnormal, I messaged both Dr. W and Jena on my patient portal inquiring about them. Jena replied quickly and said that my blood sugar was completely off. This was something that I had never been told before and when I checked my results it was within normal range. The next morning the office called and stated that Dr. W wanted to talk to me the following day and that they were moving my appointment up. When we got on the phone Dr. W said that my cortisol was fine but now my thyroid was off and I needed to be put on thyroid medication so I could start regulating my weight (something that I never stated was a problem). A medication that I couldn’t just stop taking; I would have to ween off of it. I’m twenty years old. I don’t want to take a medication for the rest of my life. I would also like to mention that my thyroid was completely in normal range. Now, five months later, I’m seeing a new endocrinologist who has been able to do way better/more extensive testing and given me way more credible and valid responses. Please don’t waste your time here.

Do not see this doctor. This was the most useless and shortest doctors appointment of my entire life. He did not care about my symptoms or even as ask. He looked at his computer the whole time and told me I needed and ordered vitamin D which I already had and walked out.

Staff was ridiculously rude over the phone before I could even schedule my appointment. Dont even waste your time do not recommend!

This doctor is not knowledgable. Does not spend anytime with you and does not care. Went to a different doctor that provided completely opposite information than he did as well as answered questions that he did not know. He advised many different things that another dr completely disagreed with. I am so happy I switched. Please protect your health. Get a second opinion.

Dr Wadwekar is a great doctor! After years of bouncing around to different endocrinologists, I am so happy to have finally found a doctor who is knowledgeable and open to trying new things. I finally have energy again and been able to maintain a healthy weight after years of fluctuation. He is kind, personable and funny. Once you understand how to use the patient portal online, everything is quick and smooth.

I have been going to see Dr. Wadwekar for many years now. He is my favorite doctor and truly cares about his patients. He always gives me good weight loss information and works with me to get my A1C down. I like his staff and his office is always nice and clean. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Wadwekar if you are struggling with your diabetes.

Protect your health and do not use this doctor. Read all of his reviews online he has awful reviews. He will not spend time on you and will misdiagnose you. If you see him get a second opinion asap. When booking No one answers the phone they dont call back and direct you to book on website which also doesnt work because it will direct you back to call.

I am a native to Arizona and have been seeing endocrinologist since 2004. Frustrated, overweight, tired, dry skin, hair falling out and thin, I decided to try a different endocrinologist (insert Dr. Wadwekar) 3 years ago and I have never been more happy with an endocrinologist. Hes personable, funny, caring and knowledgeable. He listens to how you feel and doesnt just read labs and tell you tough you dot feel well your labs look good. I look better, I have more energy, my stylist comments how much better my hair is. I stopped seeing a dermatologist for excessive dry skin. He remembers things about me from visit to visit how with how many patients he has I dont know. And he doesnt run hours behind. His time is valunable and so is yours. I highly recommend him.

Dr Wadwekar is one of the best doctors I have ever been too. At first I was unsure what to do when I met him 2 years ago, his personality is not like my other doctors I had been to before moving here. He is humble, quick to help, and willing to answer questions and try things!Recently he helped me get an OmniPod to try to help me since my MiniMed was getting ripped with the cord a lot. I gave it a try but my A1C started to rise. Just simply asking him if I could go back he provided me with a medical case in my favor to give my insurance who was refusing. With in 2 weeks I had my new pump, and on my way to better health!If you want a doctor who is going to look out for your health, this is the place to go! His staff is great, and will always go the extra mile. My first visit I even had them out on the street trying to find me since I had gotten lost! Cant say it enough this is the office to be at!

Been going here for a few years now. Great doctor that cares about his patients and does what is best for you even when you hope he is wrong. I would recommend this doctor to anyone.

Just found a new doctor who has discovered that Dr. Wadwekar MISS DIAGNOSED me and said I have Hashimotos when I do not. He kept upping my dosage on synthroid and when I told him it was causing panic attacks he told me it was a side effect and that I needed to continue taking it. Turns out I dont need to take thyroid meds at all and my numbers are in the normal range. Instead, I have a virus... my new doctor states that he ran the correct tests and read them wrong because most of the time elevated TPO is caused because of hashimotos. He was wrong... When I told him I didnt want to take the synthroid because of the side effects he sent me a letter saying that Im not taking my health seriously and that I have been terminated as his patient. When I called to talk with him the receptionist said sorry, he wont talk to you because he sent you the termination letter and doesnt want to be held responsible for your health. I highly recommend getting a second opinion if youre weary of his diagnosis, or better yet, find someone who can do their job correctly.

Good doctor, just needs to be a little easier to get a hold of the front desk.

I have been having symptoms of hypothyroidism for years now and even had a module on my thyroid tested by an ENT. When I brought the test results to Dr Wadwaker, he told me he didnt like to even look at them and wanted to run his own tests. So they took my blood (for the third time this year). He didnt take more than 3 minutes with me and didnt ask more than 2 questions about my symptoms. So disappointing. Not sure how you can make a prognosis off such little info. But I was told he was great and the reviews also confirmed that to me. But my experience was subpar. Five days after having my blood drawn, the MA called and told me that I was vitamin D deficient. So I asked her some questions to find out if this was causing all of my symptoms and she said shed ask the dr. She called me the next day and said i just needed to drink more water! I was so frustrated. My mom suffered with hypothyroidism for years before drs diagnosed her. The problem with some drs is that they put you in this box of what is normal but dont want to explore why you dont feel normal. They want to sit and do as little work as possible to really help. Such a waste of my money and time!I am now seeing Dr Cronin at Desert Wellness Center and she is actually asking questions, doing exams and really problem solving. So refreshing to feel like my money is being spent wisely.I will add the my husband has been type 1 diabetic since he was 6 and so weve seen many endocrinologist in many states. He was less than impressed with Dr Wadwekar as well and will be switching.

Maybe Wadwekar is a competent doctor but his medical staff and specifically his medical assistant (who was nasty to me on the phone) are awful. There is no personal care.. they heard you in and out and collect the money. After today I am never going back!

Unfortunately his office and their automated system are NOT on the same page. I am unable to specifically provide a review of the doctor because their process of scheduling and lack of returning phone calls wont afford me the opportunity to meet with him.Its unfortunate that an office staff and doctor can be so disconnected.

Was excited to find a good Doctor but they turned me away!

Hes great! I was in a bad spot adjusting to new medicines that affected my diabetes health and he sent me to awesome diabetes ed classes that hepled tremendously!

Dr. Wadwekar is simply a very compassionate doctor, easy to talk to and trust.
