Dr. John Wachtel, MD

Absolutely terrible experience! As a repeat patient, I called to schedule an appointment and was told the earliest availability was 1.5 months out. When the day finally arrived, I found out they had scheduled me with the wrong doctor. To make things worse, this doctor was running over two hours behind. I ended up waiting for hours, only to be seen by someone I hadn’t requested. There was zero respect for my time, and the whole process was chaotic and poorly managed. It’s disappointing that they rely on the practice’s reputation while providing such unprofessional service

Saw Wachtel for over 20 years. Reported my father’s history of male breast cancer. He documented in my chart but NEVER referred me to a genetic counselor. Male breast cancer is strongly linked to BRCA mutation. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer caused by the BRCA mutation and have been battling the disease for last 5.5 years with a poor chance of survival. I could have had prophylactic surgery when I decided to not have another child 20 years ago if Wachtel ever bothered to read my chart. His incompetence has cost me my life.
