"I had a "LARGE VOLUME LIPOSUCTION" procedure on my upper trunk and arms. Oh my goodness, what a great group of surgeons and Dr. Centeno is so wonderful. He really cares for you as an individual. His staff is so special; Michelle and Jill and absolutely wonderful. "
"My first impression of Dr. Wagner was during a seminar he led in Jefferson City, Mo.
We was very prepared and open to questions from the floor. He also provided insight into all the different types of surgery.
My first impression was right on target. He is a caring man with a great bedside manner, and is open to any and all questions or concerns you have.
His office staff is Sarah. She is absolutely wonderful. She is a caring individual, who never has a frown on her face, or seems upset about anything.
I can't think of anything I don't like about Dr. Wagner. Future patients should know to be honest with Dr. Wagner and share all questions or details with him, he will be a great support for you and your recovery if you do that.
Aftercare is very important, he follows up after surgery while you are in the hospital, and at one week, two weeks, and monthly.
He absolutely discusses the risk of surgery. However, I will again emphasize that you need to be honest and upfront with him about everything that concerns you prior to and after your surgery.
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best, I would rate Dr. Wagner a 10++. He is wonderful.
The question of surgical competence or bedside manner is a difficult one to answer. My feelings are that they go hand in hand and if the Dr. has a good bedside manner it is because he is competent and cares for each individual patient. That is what Dr. Wagner does.

"The only suggestion I would have is the admitting process. They ask us to be there at 5:30 a.m. and no one was available to wait on us until 5:50 a.m. because no one was prepared for the people coming in and they needed to get records available when the workers arrived at 5:30 a.m. When you are on the 5th floor, pray that you get Neece as your nurses aide. She is absolutely wonderful and helps you adjust to life after your surgery. She shows genuine care and concern for you. "
