The Waisman Center Reviews

VERY helpful..many new devices to help overcome problem

They helped me back in 1978 when my parents didn't know why my mental functions weren't developing. I do have a slight case of autism, but with their recommendations I got the help I needed in school and now am able to live a normal life.

The staff made us very comfortable, explained everything that was going to happen during the evaluation process perfectly.

Is a very good place. The people they serve are very caring and caring.

Awesome work and great people. Wonderful facility and research.

The staff and doctor were very helpful. Everything was explained very clearly.

That's is a great research facility in Madison. They work hard to better understand children. The space Could be a little more inviting to children. The American Family children center is very very welcoming and I would love to see this center have more children's features throughout.

Went for the nutcracker children's production. This is the type of place that adds a lot to the community.

Had a great experience with one doctor, who retired. Unfortunately the geneticist who replaced him did an exam on two of my children that was cursory at best. Didn t even have them disrobe, no measurements, nothing. Compared to my exam it was a joke. My eldest daughter has been waiting five years for an appointment, they lost her place on the waiting list twice. About ready to lawyer up. Unprofessional and a joke. Seems to me they only care about patients they can use in whatever research studies they are involved in.

Great place. All of the staff my child and I have encountered have been professional, nice and accommodating. Parking is pretty easy and labeled. Located in a close spot to other UW buildings.

I have been here multiple times for my kids to participate in research studies. Ample parking and beautiful lobby.

Amazing! The doctors, nurses, and staff are wonderful and hardworking.

If you have a special needs child and are looking for diagnosis and treatment this is the best place in the upper Midwest. Would have been lost without them.

The staff is so helpful and patient and pleasant!! They made the experience better than we imagined.

My mom called to get her genetic testing results fax to another hospital and they were very rude, unfriendly and unhelpful! Lots of "Maybe" "I don't know when" "If we have time". After dealing with UWM who were amazing, this has set back our future appointment.

Thorough and competent doctors, nurses and therapists.

Waisman's services are invaluable. I really can't even start to adequately describe all that is done at Waisman, from research to clinical work to building support systems.

We have made countless visits to The Waisman Center since 2015. Exceptional wrap around care for our son. Jaden is on the autism spectrum and sees DR. Janet Lainhart (Pediatric Physchiatrist). The Communication Aids & Systems Clinic (CASC). And the Clinical Genetics Center.

It is a good place, but the parking isnt. You have to park then you have to go inside and get a parking pass.. it should be that if you have appointments they need to send the parking pass in the mail so you know where you are able to park so you dont get any tickets or your vehicle gets towed.. and so if you are like me and have a baby and must always keep tons of things she needs with me, it is such an invonvience to constantly carry her plus everything she needs and on top of it to have to do it more than once just because it is easier for them.. yeah lets make a pregnant woman who has to carry a baby and all of her babys things carry them more than what is needed..

We take miss Katy griffin here for her speech therapy appointments.

Great place for children with disabilities. Also great a research place.

Amazing smart people who do work that will change lives. Studies that are cutting edge. Carefully conducted research always centered on advancing the quality of life.

We love participating in studies here. Great students and staff. UW is doing so many good things.

Very well kept building with interesting research initiatives.

Wonderful staff, all are truly dedicated to their patients and their families.

Great place for autistic kids, diagnostics and help

Wonderful clinic. Compassionate and knowledgeable staff!

This place is wonderful and I have so many great things to say about this place!!! They have been a tremendous help with my kids regarding their disabilities and genetic disorders. All of the staff and doctors have been so friendly and very helpful with anything we may have needed. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that needs help regarding any disability or genetic disorder!!!

My son was diagnosed 4 years ago. They were so amazing with him and observant.

Today's visit didn't as planned due to unexpected behavior issues but I did felt comfortable with our sons therapist who is helping him gain access to a talking tablet. This would be a HUGE achievement for my son. It would again open more doors for him. Having a non verbal child is tough when communication isn't clear. We never know if his head hurts or if he is sad. This tablet would change so much. For my son. For us. Thank you Weismann Center for truly caring about the patients and their families. #autismlife
