I’m very sorry to hear of cousin Neal’s passing. I have very fond memories of him and our parents and siblings.
Gone but not forgotten.

Unfortunately, I have not been to the dentist in over a year but I called today to make an appointment and that's when I learned of Dr. Waldman's passing. Last time I was in the office I was told of his cancer and that he was upbeat and doing well. 

I'm so sorry to hear today that he will no longer be my dentist. I've been seeing him for years and what a sweet man he was. Always pleasant and making sure he was never hurting me. Asking over and over if I was ok. He truly cared about his patients and was such a pleasure to see. 

My prayers and thoughts are with his family. He will be dearly missed.

This guy moved mountains in the field of dentistry.  Responsible for lifting weights out of my mouth and I couldnt be more greatful that I had the opportunity to be a patient of Dr. Waldman. You will be missed greatly bud. I was going to schedule an appointment with you this morning only to see the first thing on google was this..... My heart is heavy this morning. I had no idea of this occurring.  😔😔😔😔

I just found out this morning that Dr. Waldman passed away. My condolences goes out to his family he was a great dentist.  I last saw him early this year and we spoke about life in general and I told him I was going through Breast Cancer not knowing he was fighting his own battle. He had an upbeat attitude as he showed me his port I told him I still felt blessed regardless of the cancer. Meeting people like him  helps because cancer can take over your life but your so much more then that so we can’t let that define who we are. I left my appointment feeling positive, hopeful and lucky! All from my conversation with Dr. Waldman that day, he understood so thank you Rest In Peace and prayers for your loving family.

Dr. Waldman was my dentist and I always looked forward to our visits, His love of family was contagious.  I will miss him, condolences to his family and staff. 

Dr. Waldman it's been hard to write this because I have known you for so many years, and you were always like family.  You were my dentist from age 12. Later in life I got to work with you, and you kept our whole office laughing. I will never forget your endless stories. I could sit and listen to those stories all day. I'm so honored to have known you, and worked with you. You were a great dentist, a great husband, a great father, and a great friend (especially to my mother), and you will never be forgotten. My thoughts are with the whole Waldman family at this time.  -Love Caitlin

So saddened to hear this news last time I talked with you was in Dillard’s a few years ago. May your soul Rest In Peace it was great working with you.
Prayers to your wife and kids

I met Dr. Waldman in 2002 when I started working at Coast Dental. That's also when I met my husband Mike. Mike was Dr. Waldman's head assistant. Neal was one of the kindest humans I have ever met. He cared for Mike like he was one of his own kids. Always selfless and generous and always made sure he was taken care of in every way.  He loved his wife and kids with his whole heart. He was a true gem. I am forever grateful to him for helping shape Mike into the husband and father he is today. He made a huge impact on both of our lives and he will be sorely missed.  We will never forget him. Our condolences to Christine, Stephen, Jason, Kevin, Rachel and Michelle. We love you guys lots ❤ 

Dr. Waldman was one of the greatest men to walk this earth.  His love for people and generosity for mankind is unmatched.  Although my heart breaks because of his transition, I know God is well pleased with his work.  There was definitely a reward waiting for him in heaven.  The Waldman family will always be my family and if I can do anything, I always will.  

Much love, 

Mr. Quincy Griffin 

I had the pleasure of meeting and knowing Dr Waldman from a young age. Eventually I went to work for him in his dental practice for several years. He was a kind and gracious man who deeply loved his family and sincerely cared about every patient he treated. He was hardest working man but always had time for his work family if needed. I will always  remember him calling out “hosta manana!” and waving as he descended the stairs every evening. He will be greatly missed! I pray  his family can find solace during this difficult time.

I have known Dr. Waldman for many years. I am grateful for the dental work he did for me. I will miss his funny stories especially the Philadelphia ones.  He had a great personality. He did not make going to the dentist dreadful.  I also knew him because my wife Teresa worked for him.   She enjoyed working with him and I got to see his incredible work ethic.  He helped many people and even lended his skills to people in need.  Dr. Waldman would often stop by and drink coffee with my police squad. My morning coffee is dedicated to Dr. Waldman. RIP. 

Neal Waldman was a great dentist and an even greater man. He had so much energy and a big heart and booming voice that lit up our office. He was kind, caring, generous, and never forgot his humble roots. He had a love for all people and could see their strength and their weaknesses and  never judge. He shared with us about his wife and children and his love was evident. He knew about our families and was always available to discuss our concerns and offer guidance. I am sure that he never met a stranger and could and would discuss history, politics, sports, music, and films. We had to drag him away to stay on schedule sometimes. Our office was truly a family and that is due to him and his example. It was an honor and a privilege to work with him and have him as a friend. He will never be forgotten and will live on in our hearts forever.

The first time I sat in Dr. Waldman's chair, I cried because of the terrible experiences I had with dentists in the past.  Now I tell people that Dr. Waldman's office is the only dentist in the world where you come out laughing, His kindness, amazing sense of humor and ability to make you relax was unique.  He put your health and well-being above anything else, even money. My love and prayers go out to his family, both at home and at work. He will be missed.

To Christine and the rest of the Waldman family... This is John Dozier and I am so sorry to hear about Neal's passing this week. We had a wonderful conversation in March before I left town to start my retirement (I'm in the mountains of North Carolina for a couple of months). Neal was a dear friend (as well as a dear colleague) and I always appreciated his Integrity and Good Humor (especially when we shared a challenging patient). My heart goes out to all of you during this very sad time. Please share my condolences (and best wishes for the future) with the entire Waldman family...

Dr. Neal Waldman was truly one of the greatest souls I have ever known! He was not only part of my work family, he was a true friend of mine! I can not imagine life without him. I met him 20 years ago but only worked side by side with him for the last 13 years. He was the most jovial, kind hearted, inspirational, family-oriented, sports loving, trivial loving, fair, dedicated (and I could go on and on) person I have ever known. He could drive you nuts one minute (which he loved to do) and have you in tears laughing the next!! God knows he was a character! He loved Dentistry and always made it a priority to make his patients happy. He had great empathy for all!  He was very strong willed when it came down to his beliefs whether it was politics, sports, family, work ethics or whatever. He had a drive like no other! I truly feel I could write a book about him! I loved Dr. Waldman and he will forever be in my heart! I will do my very best to carry on his legacy, as long as I am working in dentistry, with our patients!! Rest In Peace my friend ❤️Terry Bailey 

To the Waldman family, I am so sorry and  sad to read about Dr. Waldman’s passing. I was a patient of his for the last several years. He was the nicest, sweetest, kindest and best dentist I have ever been to. The world has lost a beautiful soul. Thinking of you, and all of his friends at this sad time. 

I first met Dr. Waldman 16 years ago when i worked for DR. Hubard. He made a lasting impression on me from laughing and talking with him then . He would go above and Beyond  for his patients from calling Dr. Hubbard personally to Offering to pay for there treatment.  I left Dr. Hubards  office and went down south for a few years and when i came back Carol  Hicks  The office manager  from TCG hired me . When she walked me around to introduce me to everyone . When we came to Dr. Waldman he asked where I worked before and he said if I did Dr. Hubards Schedule then I could do his  ( that was his way of giving me a compliment ) lol. I worked with him for only 5 years but , it felt like i had known him forever .  I loved his stories and his jokes he told the early bird people  every day. You always knew when he was and where he was in the building because of his loud laugh . It was contagious.  There was never a time that you couldn't come to him for guidance.  He had a rule he wouldn't give you advice unless you asked him  and then you had to ask the right question to get the right answer .   He was bigger than life and lived his whole life that way . A great man. I will miss you . 


Neal Waldman will truly be missed by so many, especially myself. He touched everyone’s heart in someway no matter what. With his hilarious stories, his passion for sports, politics, and movies. He also joked about how his name was spelled Neal with an a. The amount of love he had for his family was known by anyone and everyone. How much unconditional love he had for his family and how proud he was of the accomplishments they had achieved. He shared some of that love at work at well by being a “dental dad” to a lot of us. He was for sure a dental dad to me and I appreciated every moment of it. The advice he would share, his experiences, his knowledge, and passion. He helped me through many experiences in life and I’m forever grateful. And will forever miss you. 

Dr. Waldman was an lighthearted, humorous and hardworking  person. I was blessed to start my professional career working with such an amazing Dr. 
I will never forget of how much I learned during the short period I worked with him and how fun he was. Always making people laughing including his patients. My thought and prayers are with the family. 

So very sorry for your loss. He shared our family’s Philadelphia Eagles passion. He was a kind man and a great dentist.

Dr. Waldman was a wonderful dentist and very funny man. I worked with him for a short time at TCG and he always made the hard days better with his funny personality even working with a broken arm.  My prayers are being sent to his family.  

Dr Waldman was one of the first dentists I worked with as a new graduate dental assistant. I began working with him on Fridays at TCG and before long he would sing me praises anytime I did good work with patients or even when I just showed up ( amazing, like you should on time ha). He helped build my confidence that I would be a great assistant just by telling me you how great I was doing and always reassuring that good work does not go unnoticed. 
He quickly acquired me as a full time assistant at TCG.  Those couple of years I worked with him helped me grow so much as a person and made me the assistant I am today (highly proficient and oraganized).
 I had lost my father the year before I went to assisting school and I always found comfort that Dr. Waldman was the office Dad figure for everyone at that time in my life. He always had words of encouragement and advice for all. 
His jokes were always welcomed, especially when we had stressful work days. His jokes would bring laughs that had me in tears ready to wet my pants. That type of laughter  is unforgettable. 
 Not a day went by that he didn’t tell us how proud he was of all his kids and his love for his family. You guys were his entire world and pride and joy aside from the Philadelphia Eagles. 
He was truly the best dentist and friend to all. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten. His memory will always live on through stories from friends and his family -Barbara


Dr waldman was a huge role model in my life and we always discussed what was on our mind. 
He always taught me about putting family first and not by just word but by example. He is such a selfless person and was so eager to make others smile and to make people happy, my heart is so heavy but also so grateful to have had this man apart of my life. He bragged on his entire family and treated me like one of his own and I'll never forget the impact he's made on myself and others with his contagious laugh.  

I met Dr Waldman over 20 yrs ago. & I’ve worked by his side ever since. A truly Amazing & selfless individual. Dr Waldman was a Wonderful Dentist and a even more Wonderful friend. I feel Blessed to have shared his daily work life., he will be incredibly missed & my heart is forever broken, as I Truly loved this man. May you all find peace in Gods word, love always,Michelle Rodgers & family.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Neal  Waldman years ago. He was such a loving and caring person. He loved his wife and family dearly.  His laughter was contagious!  He was such a great Dentist and he will be missed.

He was a great teacher and mentor. I really enjoyed working with him. He will be missed by me for sure. My prayers and thoughts are with the family.
