Dr. Wachtel is excellent with medication. Her discussion with me helped me to feel better.

I have been seeing Dr. Wachtel for approx. 2 years now. Before meeting her and being properly treated (with Cymbalta, for General Anxiety Disorder), I was always feeling dreadful and worried about the simplest things. I always doubted my efforts and feelings. Second guessing why something happened and what I did wrong to cause whatever was bothering me. Now, I am 100% better. I am happy, healthy and a productive adult (I finally moved out of my parent's home about a year ago!) Dr. Wachtel is a friend to me. She shows natural... read more

I went to her monthly for 45 minutes of therapy and medication management for depression. She never remembered anything about me session to session, even with my chart in front of her, and more than once spoke about herself more than me during the visit. She also answered a call from another patient during my visit. I stopped seeing her when my job changed and she was no longer convenient but she was not worth the aggravation.

I have been a patient of Dr. Wachtel for four years, mainly for depression. Since she is a medical doctor, she was able to prescribe appropriate medications, which, after a trial and error period, worked just fine. Through medication and discussions, she was able to help me. I am in a good place now and am grateful to Dr. Wachtel for her expertise.

Before coming to Dr. Wachtel I had a number of issues that interfered with my job and relationships. Since seeing Dr. Wachtel, she put me on new medications that work for me. I got rid of bad habits, got into a new relationship, am doing well at work and feel much better.

Dr. Wachtel is an excellent Psychiatrist. I have been seeing her now for a few years and she helped me tremendously. Her knowledge in medicine is excellent. She listens and cares about the person, asks questions and is very patient. She turned my life around.

I have been seeing her for over 4 years with no problems. I have depression and have been having problems keeping it under control. Dr Wachtel has been patient in listening to my concerns and has worked to get it under control by either changing or adding meds. She has answered all my questions fully and I walk out of her office knowing my questions have been answered. My first visit consisted of standard questions and a 2nd appt was made in order to prescribe medications (standard practice for many drs). You do have to canc... read more

AVOID. She put my on seroquel which was FAR too strong, and insisted that I continue with it even though I could no longer function when I took it. She charged me $40 a visit, but when I called my insurance to verify she should have only charged me $10. She was perpetually late for every visit. Her "talk therapy" was infuriatingly unhelpful.

Did not like this doctor. She is OVERLY concerned with getting paid (more so than anything else). The only things she helped me with is stressing how important it is to make sure my insurance works, make sure I bring my copay in cash and only cash, and to cancel every appt. 48 hrs. in advance so she has time to book another person if necessary. Other than that, she would ask me the same questions over and over. She has no secretary so she is hard to get in touch with. She will also yell at you if you are late (10 minutes lat... read more
