Alan Wachtel

Dr. Alan Wachtel is, simply put, the best mental health professional I've had the pleasure of seeing. My parents first brought me to see Dr. Wachtel when I was in elementary school. Over 15 years later, I am still his patient. With Dr. Wachtel's help, I was able to succeed in a demanding high school, excel at a top ranked liberal arts college. I am now in my second year of professional school at an Ivy League university. Thanks to Dr. Wachtel, I am at the top of my class and I am making strides towards achieving my dream career. I have always been happy with the medications and advice that Dr. Wachtel has provided. Moreover, he taken my needs and concerns seriously. He is kind, compassionate, and enthusiastic when it comes to caring for his patients. I can't recommend him strongly enough to any parents of children or adolescents (or even young adults) who are struggling with issues such as ADHD, anxiety, and depression.

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!!!!

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.

Dr Wachtel is very professional and easy for may son to speak with. He is understanding and listening to what my son says.

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.

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!

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.

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