Dr. Waldman was born and raised in Lexington, Ky. After graduation from Henry Clay High School, he attended Indiana University and the University of Louisville School of Medicine. This was followed by a general surgery internship at Los Angeles County Hospital. It was during his residency training in Head and Neck Surgery at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic that he became interested in facial plastic surgery. After receiving A.B.M.S. Board Certification in Head and Neck Surgery, he elected to complete Fellowship training in Facial Plastic Surgery at Tulane University. While at Tulane Dr. Waldman spent a year with world renown facial surgeons, Dr. Jack Anderson and Dr. Calvin Johnson. During his fellowship Dr. Anderson began popularizing what became known as the "External Rhinoplasty". To this day Dr. Waldman has the longest experience with this procedure of any living American Surgeon. Shortly thereafter he also became board certified in a second specialty, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

In 1983, Dr. Waldman elected to return "home" and open his own practice in Facial Aesthetic Surgery. He now has over twenty years of experience in Lexington. During those twenty years he also managed to write a number of articles published in scientific journals and has recently been the editor for two medical books on facial plastic surgery. Additionally he became very active in the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery chairing several committees and ultimately serving as Vice President of that organization.

Dr. Waldman is also on the Editorial Advisory Board for Plastic Surgery Products Magazine (PSP).
