Patient Reviews

Overall patient rating for UWH of The Carolinas:

Abdominal Pain

Dr. Halderman did a wonderful job of explaining verbally and visually what was going on. That was such a huge help in allowing my brain to fully grasp what we were dealing with. She listened and gave wonderful advice, way different from past visits with other physicians who just push medications. As a women going through perimenopause, it was nice speaking with someone who had already been through full menopause and had real empathy and understanding. Dr. Halderman was wonderful. I felt so heard and seen which is rare in the medical world these days. Her ability to explain things in more than way so that you fully understand the situation was refreshing. I left feeling 1000 less anxious than I did when I arrived. We have plan in place, she made simple recommendations and now we're off to hopefully tackle the issue.
