over 15 years of going to Dr Wachtel- each and every time I have gone to him to have dental work done, I have been grateful for his careful, kind work as well as the cheerful and efficient work of each member of his office staff too. He was recommended to me at a time when I had previously had extra painful experiences w dentists and fear was a serious barrier for me. I had a friend who's daughter with Downs Syndrome was terrified of dentists, and yet this daughter loved and trusted Dr Wachtel. I figured that was the BEST ki... read more

Caused excruciating pain for months. Had to go to another dentist and spent $2600.00 to fix what this guy did which was intentional. Hardly slept for months it took to get what his guy did fixed. What was done to me was worse than what the dentist did to Dustin Hoffman in the movie marathon man. I will never forgive or forget and I still get angry just thinking about it. 

EXCELLENT Dr. for those w/ fear of dental work

I have been to Dr. Wachtel for well over a decade & for all these years he has 'gone above & beyond' in the effort to offer me excellent care, & sensible options when nec. He & his staff have always been kind, caring & helpful. I have recommended him in full confidence, many times over the years. PY

What a great dentist! Personable, prompt, knowledgeable and a sense of humor. His office staff was all wonderful too. He was a big part of figuring out a weird jaw problem.

Went in for pain on my right side and he drilled on my left. I stopped him and said nothing wrong over there. Wachtel said something he had done over there was sticking out and bothering him. Since I had trusted Wachtel, I let him proceed which was a HUGE mistake. It turns out Wachtel drilled out two fillings he had put in previously and it caused immediate and excruciating pain. I had to see a new dentist to find out what Wachtel had done and it was verified he removed 2 fillings that left nerves exposed. I found out later ... read more

I was happily a patient of Dr. Wachtel for 15± yrs. However, things appeared to change recently when I was diagnosed with cancer & had 2 major surgeries, radiation & chemo. 2 upper front teeth were problematic so Wachtel referred me to an oral surgeon whose advice conflicted with that of my oncologist. This left me with a confusing dilemma. I wanted another opinion and set up a consultation (no treatment). The timing was such that I had to delay resolution of this dental issue while I had the above-mentioned cancer treatment... read more

Save Yourself Pain & Money and do not go to this BUTCHER! Went in for pain on my right side and he drilled on my left. I stopped him and said nothing wrong over there. Wachtel said something he had done over there was sticking out and bothering him. Since I had trusted Wachtel, I let him proceed which was a HUGE mistake. Wachtel drilled out two fillings he had put in previously and it caused immediate and excruciating pain. Again, I had been a patient of Wachtel for years and trusted him. I foun

My husband ans I have been patients of Doctor Wachtel for many years and drive up from Tucson, where we live, just for the appointments with him....we like him that much! My greatest fear is that someday he will retire!!! Couldn't ask for a better dentist! We love his entire staff too!!

I could never find words to speak his (and his office staff) praises high enough! And I am a writer. Have been a patient of his for about 10 years and would never go to anyone else as long as Dr. Wachtel is in practice. Though he is not one who should have the word "practice" attached to him. He KNOWS his stuff and genuinely cares about his patients and employees. :D
