I went in for an ear infection and one of my tubes came out from the drainage , he decided that he could put in a new tube in the office and did so; while my ear was infected. He gave me MRSA in my ears which traveled to my sinus, i had to have surgery , take expensive meds, and go through a lot of pain and problems. I have about 10% of my taste buds and smelling senses left because the mrsa killed them. I can only eat/drink certain things now because i can't taste alot of things anymore.

I now see an amazing dr in st.cloud. I wouldn't send my dog to dr.waters

I’ve been to Dr. Waters’ office several times and each time was unfortunately a waste of time. This office is never prepared and can’t see you unless they have your medical records. So be prepared to schedule several unnecessary appointments that will double your office visit bills and time away from work.

There are better ENT doctors and cosmetic doctors in the area! If you need an ENT, see Dr. Witte (Essentia) or Dr. Truitt (CentraCare/Lakewood). If you need someone for cosmetic reasons, see Lotti Oehrlein at Chrysalis Cosmetic. If you do need to go to Dr Waters’ office, bring a book for the long wait, be prepared to argue, and plan to get a second opinion.

Dr Waters recommended a certain procedure for me that didn’t make sense so I got two second-opinions that confirmed it would have done further damage! For my son, the Nurse Practitioner, Katie, may be the most argumentative medical professional I have met. Not sure I can even say “professional” as she argued everything from insurance not paying for the procedure, disagreed with Children’s Hospital that tubes don’t help with balance issues, and told me, “you should have marched right into Essentia and demanded the medical records”. I decided to go with Dr. Truitt from CentraCare and was able to get in the next day at the Staples Lakewood location, didn’t have to wait, was treated with respect, didn’t argue with anyone, didn’t need to show medical records, got in for surgery the next week and low and behold my son’s balance issue have already improved.

Dr. Waters’ office was combative, incompetent and …a waste of time.
