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.

Dr Wachter was catching things my PCP was missing, has taken me off meds, or switched me to something more suitable. Now I've been taken off meds for cholesterol and diabetes permanently. She has been working with other specialists I'm seeing, so they can better treat me. Currently, I see her for only two medical conditions, and one of them I no longer take medication for, but still needs to be monitored. She encouraged me in my weight loss journey, and pointed out how my lab results continued to improve as the lbs came off. Now I am at a healthy weight and BMI, and cholesterol and blood sugar are normal as well. If you are willing to do your part, she will support you. If you just want meds thrown at you, and are unwilling to make the changes you need, don't expect her to not say anything, or not be blunt about it. She is very good at what she does, but noncompliance of the patient hinders her ability.

Dr. Wachter is great. She listens and remembers without having to remind her even if there has been a lapse of time between visits. This demonstrates her interest in her patients. I willingly travel quite a distance to visit with Dr. Wachter because she is THAT much of a great doctor! She explains health information and gives her professional opinion so that the patient can decide which route to take. I fully trust and highly recommend her.

If I could give her zero stars, I would. She was not thorough or caring at all within the visits I had with her. She put no effort into getting to the root on my problem

Dr. Wachter spent more time with me than she needed to, making sure to answer all my questions, provide additional information, and develop a personal relationship with me as a patient. Her attentiveness and level of knowledge helped me to feel comfortable and confident in her abilities. She was able to diagnosis me and provide a road to recovery when several other doctors I visited before her had failed.

Dr. Wachter is awesome! She is smart and very attentive. Dr. Wachter is very serious about what is going on and what is going to make things better. I value her opinion and I take heed when she gives me her advice. Our first meeting was not the greatest but I later found out that she is serious about what she does and was not there to play and joke with me. She is very passionate about what she does. She doesn't even know I had a problem with our first visit. She was doing what she does!
