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 receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients who consistently praise his exceptional knowledge, experience, and diagnostic skills. Patients frequently describe him as one of the best doctors they have ever had, with many noting relationships spanning 20 to 40+ years. His listening skills and ability to take time with patients without rushing are repeatedly highlighted as standout qualities. Reviewers emphasize his thorough explanations in understandable terms, compassionate bedside manner, and genuine care for patient wellbeing. His professionalism, intelligence, and ability to stay current with medical research are frequently mentioned. Patients appreciate that he is attentive to details, remembers their medical history, and provides practical, sensible guidance. Many note his excellent communication skills, patience in answering questions, and ability to make patients feel valued rather than just another number.
Patients also share
The reviews contain very few criticisms or suggestions for improvement. The most notable concern expressed by multiple patients is anxiety about Dr. Waldo's eventual retirement, with several stating they don't know what they will do when he retires or hoping he continues practicing for many more years. A few reviews mention that he is not accepting new patients, which some patients note makes them unable to refer friends and family who wish to see him. Beyond these concerns related to his practice longevity and availability, there are virtually no complaints about the quality of care, wait times, staff interactions, or any other aspects of the patient experience.
