Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I took my 6 year old son to see Dr. Wachtel in 1997 and he was diagnosed with ADHD and treated successfully for many years. It was the greatest gift I could have given him. Dr. Wachtel understands ADHD better than anyone and is a genius at pharmacology. My son is now 30" has made a fortune trading options and is about to get engaged to a wonderful girl - and I give Dr. Wachtel a lot of credit. Expensive? Yes + but worth every penny.

I saw him many years ago. He's good. But I find it very odd that when you are paying (he used to charge an exorbitant amount of money) so much to see a psychiatrist in private practice that you need to wait way past your appt time. And although the sessions were supposed to be 45 minutes he almost always cut them short and still charged the same. I was just a teenager. I wouldn't deal with that now. He really likes to prescribe pills!
