Dr. Wachtel's assistance and advice has been invaluable to us.

I can highly recommend Family Health Associates and Dr. Alan Wachtel, who along with his staff very effectively and professionally treated my adolescent son. And I myself have been under Dr. Wachtel's care for the past several years, and I can say that he has made a huge positive difference in my life; I - and my family - would not consider going anywhere else!

Dr. Wachtel & all of the physicians at Family Health Associates are smart, caring and knew exactly what was going on from the beginning. I am doing great under their care and highly recommend this practice.

I would like to add my hearty and healthy endorsement of Family Health Associates and Dr. Alan Wachtel. This team of professionals is not only among the world's finest and brightest in their field but also have the added difference that they take a total view of their patients health. In short, if I were an individual who wanted to get a thorough and complete diagnosis that was then followed through with being placed on the optimal medication for my needs, I would start here first. They have made a world of difference in my life.

Courteous and welcoming office. My kids actually enjoy going here. Dr. Wachtel is an expert in his field. Well worth the money.

Dr. Wachtel is the most intelligent, caring and insightful physician of his kind in NYC - we saw multiple in the quest of finding the right doctor for our child. Of everyone, only he listened and appropriately treated our child using multiple different modalities. He is a miracle worker, and has an excellent bedside manner. He knows pharmacology, including the new medications and old, and chooses carefully selected treatment regiments tailored for specific problems (rather than one med for all people/issues). He is dynamic in his management, and truly cares about the health and well being of his patients. Is he cheap, no - but for his level of expertise, experience and results, he shouldn't be. He is worth every penny and then some - no one is better.

Dr. Wachtel is highly experienced and a master at providing high quality psychiatric care. He really took the time to dig into what the issues were and address them carefully to ensure the patient was properly cared for. We appreciate his depth of knowledge and high level of care. We highly (and often!) reccomend him.

My son has ADHD and is going through all that comes along with that. From attention hurdles to academic retention and impulse control. I can work for days, weeks, months to try to uncover the trigger or reasons why a behavior is happening/-and then we make an appointment with Dr Wachtel and 15 minutes later he’s figured out what’s motivating him to act, how we can feed him in a way to help with energy and comfort his confusion about all his body is going through at 11. I can’t recommend him enough.

Nothing but the most positive things to say about this doctor.

My family has relied on Dr. Alan Wachtel's services for years. Dr. Wachtel has an abundance of experience, wisdom, and compassion for his patients and their family members. He is a leader and innovator in the field of Psychiatry. The practice is run by pleasant and efficient staff. Best practice!!!!
