Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Patients appreciate
Dr. Rick Waldo consistently receives exceptional praise from patients for his extensive medical knowledge, diagnostic skills, and thorough approach to care. Patients repeatedly describe him as highly intelligent, knowledgeable, and one of the best doctors they have encountered, with many noting his decades of experience. His listening skills stand out prominently, with numerous reviews emphasizing that he takes time with patients, never rushes appointments, and carefully addresses all questions and concerns. Patients appreciate his ability to explain complex medical information in understandable terms and his professional yet warm bedside manner. Many reviews highlight the personal attention he provides, with patients noting they feel genuinely cared for as individuals rather than just numbers. His diagnostic abilities receive particular acclaim, with multiple patients crediting him with identifying and treating conditions effectively. The loyalty he inspires is remarkable, with numerous patients reporting they have been under his care for 20, 30, 40, or even nearly 50 years.
Patients also share
The reviews contain very few criticisms or suggestions for improvement. One patient mentioned difficulty getting an appointment within a week for an urgent issue, though Dr. Waldo personally intervened to accommodate them. A single review noted that Dr. Waldo is not accepting new patients, which disappointed someone who wanted to switch to his care after a positive experience. These isolated mentions represent the only areas where any concern was expressed, and they relate more to practice capacity than quality of care.
