Dr. Joel Wertheimer, MD

Dr. Wertheimer may appear as if he's non-caring but in reality it's the complete opposite. He is an extremely busy provider servicing 3 locations and directing a facility part time. He manages to follow back and reach out to check on the well being of his patients. He has done it for me. He is short but I actually prefer that. He is straight forward and to the point. He may suggest a treatment plan I do not agree with, but he has not been wrong yet. If you're looking for a sweet doctor telling you what you want to hear and giving you a hug he is not the one for you. If you want to be told the truth and get to the bottom of the real issues, he is the one for you. He does show empathy and he is sympathetic, he may just not be over the top. He is pricey, but so is the new LV Bag. If you want top tier service, it doesn't come free.

Very disappointing experience with this psychiatrist. he arrived significantly late to our appointments with no explanation or apology, demonstrating a lack of respect and professionalism. Throughout our sessions, I felt that his primary concern was not my well-being but rather how quickly he could charge for the session. There was a noticeable lack of empathy and care in his consultations, making it clear that patient care was not his priority. I would not recommend his services to anyone seeking genuine mental health support.
