Had 745am appointment did not get taken in to room till 810 and did not see doctor till 850. That seems a little ridiculous to me. Why make appointment time if you cannot see doctor till almost 2 hours after you arrive
12/5/2025
All was easy from scheduling appointment to check-in and visit. I appreciate the time Dr. Wayman spends with the patients and how thorough he is. Thank you.
12/4/2025
First time going Dr Wayman. I had to wait to see him 1.30 hours after my Apt time... I was not happy, however when he came in to see me, I was very impressed how much time he spent with me going over all my records and hearing about my concerns of my health issues. I was not rushed out like most places... I guess its like they say, there fast food and then there's good food... If you want a good doctor, you have to wait. I will be going back.
12/2/2025
Still a long waiting time to see the provider
12/1/2025
check-up went well
11/26/2025
The wait was an hour over my appointment time. Most (not all) of the office staff are very unfriendly almost to the point of being rude, no smile, no eye contact.
11/25/2025
Yes, I was kept in the examination room for 45 minutes. It seems like this happens every single time and it's not satisfactory. Thank you.
11/25/2025
I can tell you Dr. Wayman takes very good care of us. We appreciate all the work he does. Thank you.
11/25/2025
Hi, yes, I recommend my Dr. Wayman to my friends, families, and anybody that asks. He's wonderful. He sits there, he listens, he has a lot, a lot of patience to understand, you know, what I want to talk to about. He does not rush me. He listens and he gives me the information that I need. I would rate him a 10. If I could do a 100, I would have done 100. No, he's a wonderful doctor and he's very understandable, not only with me, but with all his patients. Thank you.
11/21/2025
I have to say that the provider I have has become more hands on and now after quite a while is more personable and it makes my visit easier for me and now I even ask questions.
11/20/2025
Dr. Wayman is my favorite doctor ever and I used to work for 120 doctors up at Summit Medical Group. So I have a good understanding of doctors and specialties and all that. So I love him. He is the best. He's very thorough. I would like to recommend him, but then that means it's going to get harder for me to get in because he's always triple booked. Anyways, his staff is pretty amazing. For the most part, there is one individual front desk that's less than desirable. I think she's new. I don't know her name. Sorry. Anyways, he's the best. Thank you. Give him a raise.
11/20/2025
Stop overbooking your patients. That's one. Sat there for a half hour. My appointment was 2:30. It was already 3:15 before I was told that there was a guy there from 2 o'clock for an appointment, which was not even seen yet.
11/20/2025
It is always a great experience!!!
11/20/2025
Yes, I like my doctor, like Dr. Wayman. He's a very, very nice doctor. Everything explains to me when I feel sick. He come my house when I need because I'm disarmed. So I'm very happy. Okay? One.
11/12/2025
Office personnel were excellent and Dr. Wayman is the bes nurse also
11/10/2025
I have been with this doctor for over 20years I like him.his staff are very friendly and helpful
11/10/2025
Dr. Wayman is the best
11/7/2025
The wait time is continually ridiculous For a 215 appt, I did not see the doctor for nearly an hour and a half later No one spoke to me during this time about any reasons for delay This is totally disrespectful to patients and hascmw contemplating going elsewhere Only the relationship with Dr Wayman is keeping me with this dysfunctional office
11/4/2025
Dr. Wayman is very professional and answers all my questions. The waiting time is always too long.
11/3/2025
Was a very thorough exam .said I should get a few tests will get some but not all. Previous doctor retired and left up to me what screenings I wanted to have which I preferred
11/3/2025
It took way too long, waiting 1.5 hours in a examination reg oom
10/31/2025
Yeah, the nurse that was attending Dr. Bernard was really grumpy and was hard to communicate with and that was a big concern of mine.
10/31/2025
Dr. Wayman is wonderful he listens to everything during me and my husbands scheduled office visits. Cannot thank Dr. Wayman enough for all his help. He is so compassionate and so caring we think the world of him. He's soooooooooooooo professional and extremely knowledgeable of course - just wonderful. His office staff are all great as well they are so nice and kind always welcoming with a smile.
10/27/2025
He was great. He sat with me for an hour, explained everything, and I think he was the best I ever had.
10/27/2025
I've been going to this practice 25 years with no issues with providers or staff. The ONLY complaint I have with HM is the call system. I work at a surgery center. We call HM daily for medical clearances. On average you are on a call 10-15 minutes by the time you give patient info and our own info and then put on hold sometimes 2 times while the call center tries to patch us into the drs office. It's a horrible system. We do not have this issue with RWJ's call system. We actually dread calling HM as surgical coordinators. I really hope they can shorten the time on the phone in the future because it is really ridiculous at times how long it takes to get a quick answer on whether a patient has had a medical clearance for a surgery.
10/24/2025
Dr Wayman is very polite and knowledgeable.
10/24/2025
Dr. Wayman is one of the best doctors I've ever had. I've been with him over 20 years and also his staff, they're all great.
10/22/2025
The wait for my appointment was atrocious. I had a first appointment of the day and the doctor saw three other people before me. The office did not keep me informed. When I went to go schedule my next appointment, it's five months out.
10/20/2025
I had a morning appt., so I didn't have to wait as long as if I had a afternoon/later appointment. Much more tolerable by scheduling this way. I see doctor every 3 months, so I will continue to make morning appts When possible. I used to take whatever they had available ..now I will schedule at my convenience. Staff is always pleasant, as well as my doctor. It's just the waiting in examining room that gets annoying after quite awhile. It was better this time..the earlier the better!
10/20/2025
Dr. Wayman always puts me at ease. He is thoughtful and caring.
10/17/2025
Dr. Wayman is very personable and takes the time to listen as well as advise
10/7/2025
Dr Wayman is the best!
10/7/2025
I had a 9:00 am appointment and did not see the doctor until 9:45 i like the doctor but the office opens at 8:00 how does he become 45 minutes behind in one hour's time?
10/6/2025
Very well run and professional practice.
10/2/2025
Yes, I've been going to Dr. Wayman for over 30 years, never had a problem with him. He's a very good doctor and I would recommend him to other patients or to my family. He's a very good doctor, a very, very good doctor. Explains everything. I was in for my yearly Medicare checkup. Again, I would highly recommend this doctor.
10/2/2025
Dr. Wayman has been my primary doctor for more than 20 years. Me and my family have been there with him and his personal. Dr. Wayman is an amazing, amazing doctor. He answers all questions we ask and we trust him. Thank you.
9/30/2025
great appointment Helpful and informative staff
9/26/2025
I've almost completed my medication for, I presume it's an upper respiratory infection that I have, but I'm still not feeling well. So I need to talk to the doctor tomorrow. I'm gonna call the office. But the office staff and doctor are very attentive and very good at helping me with all my medical problems. Thank you and have a good day.
9/23/2025
The medical assistant was very nice and knowledgeable, and she knew who I was and remembered who I was and remembered the fact that I had surgery, which I explained last time. Also, the desk assistants were very nice as well, and they were very quick to get me my paperwork and to get me in as an appointment. I really love Dr. Wayman. He is the best doctor I've ever had and I hope that they continue their best service. Thank you.
9/22/2025
Very thorough
9/22/2025
Dr. Wayman is a very caring doctor. He listens and explains everything.
9/17/2025
Very grateful Dr Wayman was able to do a telemed visit with me.
9/17/2025
Dr. Wayman is great doctor however if you are sick and need a same day, next day appointment it is not happening. You will need to go to an Urgent care. And the wait in the office is always 30-60 mins.
9/17/2025
Excellent experience!!!
9/11/2025
Yes, Dr. Wayman is an excellent doctor and he's personable and I feel very comfortable. I never enjoy going to the doctors, but he's very, Dr. Wayman is very good and I would recommend him to anybody. Thank you.
9/9/2025
Everything was great except for the wait time
9/5/2025
GREAT DOCTOR GOD BLESS
9/5/2025
The only thing is the wait I waited over 1 hour after my appointment time to see the doctor
9/2/2025
The visit was good. My appointment was at six and I didn't get to see the doctor until 6.45. So to me, 45 minute wait is not really acceptable. Thank you.
9/2/2025
To me he's the gold standard Wish there was more doctors like Wayman in the field
8/28/2025
appointment was over 1 hour late from scheduled time.
8/28/2025
I was lucky to find this provider. He provides great information. He seems to stay as long as you need him to stay in the room. He explains things diligently and he seems to know your history. I give him an A+. Thank you.
8/27/2025
You can not make a well care/routine appt. when needed. To change an appt 6 weeks before, you are rescheduled 3 months out.
8/26/2025
Yes, Dr. Wayman is one of the most professional and long-time residents of Ocean County. And he really, really was up to par in everything I needed Thank you.
8/19/2025
Dr. Wayman is good and I like his personality. The staff not so much other that Tina. This corporation is about money not helping people. Two hours per visit is unacceptable. I couldn't get a visit last week for diverticulitis with Dr. Wayman. I was told to go to urgent care. That was an hour wait. They said can't help go to emergency room. That was 7 hours. All I needed from Dr. Wayman was a script for a Catscan. Then two days later I get a call from this office asking how I was feeling. They didn't care when I was in pain, why care after when they can just go online and read everything about me. BECAUSE THEY ARE LAZY.
8/18/2025
Thank you, Dr. Bernard for spending time with me and let me talk about everything's going on. You were great.
8/15/2025
Always a pleasure to deal with this MD
8/13/2025
Dr. Wayman has been our family doctor for many years and is the best and kindest Dr. I see
8/8/2025
Doctor Wayman is a great Doctor is staff on the other hand is lacking in can never get an appointment that is convenient for my schedule I rearrange my time for them and m scheduling 3 months in advance wish they were more cooperative why is impossible to get an early appointment 7:30 - 10:00 ?
8/4/2025
Dr. Wayman is the best
7/25/2025
Dr. Wayman is a wonderful physician.
7/25/2025
Once I get in to see the doctor, everything's fine, but I never get in on time. I always have to wait over an hour, and it's kind of annoying because we have other things to do, and I have to wait an hour and then wait another half hour to see him. It's not fair.
7/23/2025
I waited 90 minutes to see the doctor. This happens with 90% of my visits. This is unacceptable. The office needs to schedule less appointments so the patients do not have to wait as long.
7/23/2025
Dr. Wayman is the best doctor ever. He's our primary care doctor. Me and my husband love him. He's so nice, very professional, and he listens carefully to what we are explaining to him. He's the best ever. Thank you.
7/10/2025
Excellent doctor, best doctor I ever had. Very conscious, very on top of his game. The only thing we didn't like is that we were out of the network with our insurance, which is not anybody's fault. It's just the way the insurance companies work. But overall, it was a wonderful experience.
7/1/2025
Yes, Dr. Wayman is a wonderful doctor and his staff are just pleasant and well knowledgeable. And it's a pleasure going there, even though it's a doctor's visit, but it's a great experience. He's my favorite doctor. Thank you.
7/1/2025
Making the appointment earlier in the morning prevented a longer wait time. I was taken in at my appt time, 8:15 am but had to wait 1/2 hr for Dr to come in as he had a few patients before me in other examining rooms. But it's better than an afternoon appt when they are severely backed up..(sometimes I wait 2 hours ). So I will try to keep making the earliest appts that are available (when I go every 3 months).
6/30/2025
Dr Wayman is wonderful
6/27/2025
Dr. Wayman is the best doctor in the world, and I love them. They always give you a report when you're done leaving your appointment so you could go over anything that you forgot. It's great to have. Thanks so much, Dr. Wayman and the staff and the secretaries at your office. Bye-bye.
6/26/2025
for a 10am appt, I did not see the doctor until 11:20. Such wait times are unacceptable
6/24/2025
I think that the nurses and everybody in the office was excellent at customer service. They are really nice people. And so is the doctor. Thank you.
6/24/2025
Great doctor
6/24/2025
This is the first time in all the years that I was impressed with the wait, getting in and getting out to see the doctor. Very impressed. This was the only time in all the years of my visit and Wayman has been my provider for many, many years. I like to keep up the good work.
6/23/2025
I think Dr. Wayman is terrific. I like him a lot. The only thing I don't like is you wait usually a while before you get to see him. Otherwise, he's terrific. Thank you.
6/23/2025
Doctor WAYMAN is a wonderful doctor all is good the only thing is you do wait till he sees they over book but worth it
6/16/2025
Great experience.
6/12/2025
Wait time often exceeds 1 hour. That's the biggest issue. The care is excellent otherwise
6/11/2025
it was very pleasant
6/10/2025
Every time I come I wait over two and a half hours to see my Doctor. But nice I do he spends the time with me that is needed.
6/9/2025
Waiting time is still excessive.
6/9/2025
Thank you all for your time. Everything went well!!
6/6/2025
Dr. Wayman is an amazing doctor. I've been with him many, many years and I wouldn't go to anybody else. He is just amazing. And the girls at the front desk, they're also amazing.
6/6/2025
Great
6/4/2025
friendly atmosphere.
6/3/2025

6/3/2025
Dr Wayman and all of the staff give exceptional service
6/2/2025
always a personal, friendly, helpful experience. Dr Wayman is an understanding thorough and very good health care provider.
5/31/2025
My Appointment never happened. I got a text with a link beforehand. I followed all instructions and was online (audio/video checked) waiting for the doctor to connect. I got messages that he was running late. I think he tried to call me on another line but when I answered it there was no one there. I waited in the EPIC app for 2 hours and then finally gave up. There has to be a better way. ? !
5/29/2025
Dr Wayman has been my pcp for many years. I trust him and am satisfied with treatment
5/27/2025
OFFICE STAFF IS ANGRY NEED HELP AND A SMILE VERY RUDE
5/21/2025
The waiting to see the doctor is too long. I waited an hour and it was not given any updates on when it would be. In fact, it was over an hour. Thank you.
5/16/2025
Dr Wayman and his staff always show concern and professionalism. The office is always immaculately clean.
5/14/2025
I had an easier time getting an appointment by calling directly into the office. HMH online booking was not easy to use and showed no appointments available. Zocdoc was a joke. Dr. WAYMAN did not even appear in my searches.
5/3/2025
This doctor is a true gentleman
5/1/2025
Dr. Wayman was very good and very professional in his services for my checkup for wellness, a lot of good feelings about going to see him and he did a very good job. He's very experienced and I enjoy going to him. He's a good bedside manner and a good attitude.
4/30/2025
Very happy with dr. Wayman
4/25/2025
it was a good experience, I was scheduled for 215 pm and was in exam room at 230 pm and Doctor Wayman entered by 245pm. Not long wait and he is always a pleasure to visit.
4/25/2025
Dr. Wayman appointment was complete. Happy about the outcome of the meeting.
4/24/2025
Bernard Wayman the best doctor. thanks
4/24/2025
Dr Wayman know me/remembers me. I trust him and appreciate the time he takes in listening to me, providing results from testing and guidance with my health. I LOVE the telemed for follow up appointments and getting tests results.
4/23/2025
Great Doctor.
4/21/2025
Dr. Wayman is the most compassionate, kind and caring Dr. ever. He listens to everything me and my husband explain to him. We are not rushed out of the exam room he's just wonderful. On a separate note: Dr. Wayman's staff are all great they always welcome patients with a smile and are never nasty always very pleasant :). They go out of their way to assist Dr. Wayman's patients.
4/18/2025
I was 100% satisfied with the doctor's services. That's all I have to say. Thank you. END
4/17/2025
Dr. Wayman seemed deeply concerned about my health, Mental and physical.
4/16/2025
Wait time to see Doctor is way too long. 1-2 hour wait routinely. Doctor is very good but not that good for the wait.
3/27/2025
My experience is wonderful over at Dr. Wayman's office. Everyone is pleasant and cheerful and knows what they're doing, especially Dr. Wayman. He's a real gem of a doctor and I would never use another doctor. He's my go-to guy. Thank you very much, and the girls in the office are all wonderful. Thank you.
3/26/2025
Dr Wayman has been my Prov for 10+ years m. He is very cheerful and takes his time visiting with you. Very concerned with your health.
3/25/2025
Dr Wayman is the best
3/24/2025
Dr. Wayman has been my doctor for many years and I really like him. He listens very carefully. He questions you and he's very cautious. He doesn't prescribe medicine willy-nilly just to prescribe something and he's been taking care of my family for many years and I really do like him.
3/21/2025
Thank you.
3/20/2025

3/13/2025
The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable.
3/13/2025
Dr. Wayman is very professional, he's courteous, he's very polite, he's a wonderful man. I would recommend him to anyone. I've been going to him for a long time. I truly appreciate his expertise and he's so very helpful and he's just an extraordinary man and I wouldn't know what to do if he ever retired. I'd be lost and he's just a great, great man.
3/13/2025
Good doctor but every time you visit him there is a very long wait. I waited an hour in the waiting room and then another 20 minutes once I was put in a room. This is totally unacceptable!
3/12/2025
They were very, very helpful. I really liked the ladies, all his nurses, and he was very good. So I really had a good time. Thank you.
3/7/2025
I waited over an hour to see an hour from my appointment time to see the doctor. That's unacceptable.
3/4/2025
Dr Wayman always spends an appropriate amount of time with you and listens to what you have to say. I never feel rushed. Wait time improved somewhat over last visit. Check in and check out staff were very friendly.
2/27/2025
Great
2/27/2025
Dr. Wayman is a very good Doctor and I am blessed to have him as my Doctor. He has provided me with great medical advice and care.
