I came into Dr. Wachtels office in early April being overly depressed with two recent deaths in my family. She gave me medication that worked wonders. I must say she is quite knowledgeable about prescriptions. On the flip side there are a few things that made me decide to change. She likes to "fix" one problem before she moves on to another.

I've been to a few other psychiatrists over the years and Dr. Wachtel was the first to actually help me with the right combination of medications complemented with talk therapy. Her knowlege of meds is impressive and she has been nothing but kind, caring, and responsive. I came to her a depressed and anxious wreck and I truly believe she saved my life. I should also add that it can be very hard to find a good psychiatrist, but it's even harder to find a good one who also takes insurance, like Dr. Wachtel.

This Doctor has helped me tremendously. I was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and she has prescribed medication that has lifted the cloud from my life. I see her once a month so she can see how I am doing on these particlar drugs.She encourages me to call at anytime if I am having any sort of discomfort or fears about the meds, She is thoughtful, caring wise and very human. I found the best doctor for me. M freelancers insurance

She's not the type of doctor who dispenses pre... read more

Competent doctor, but perpetually late, and generally disorganized. Pushes pills without much sympathy for side effects. Brings her dog to office despite patients ( disclosed ) allergies.

AVIOD AT ALL COSTS!!! very unprofessional. was late for my 1st appt., then cut the visit short. Actually, she cut all the visits short... for the last appt i had scheduled, i had forgotten the day/time and left her a message around 10am asking her to call me back, b/c i didn't want to miss the appt. at 4:10 pm, she called me to tell me my appointment had been for 3:30 that day, and that she got my message, but didn't have time to call me back (its not my problem she's too cheap to hire a secretary) She then insisted i pay fo... read more
