Dr. Wachtel is a wonderful Psychiatrist. The medications she prescribed me for depression and anxiety helped me change my life for the better. I find her to be an insightful and compassionate doctor who cares about my well being. I feel comfortable speaking with her and like when she points out ways to handle stressful situations. I feel fortunate to have her as my Psychiatrist.

I have been a patient with Dr. Wachtel for over 10 years. I have tried many medications that did not work. The medications that Dr. Wachtel prescribed work great, like night and day.

Dr. Wachtel is fantastic! She truly cares about her patients and works with you to come up with solutions that actually make you feel better. Best psychiatrist I’ve ever had!

My 91 year old mother was in a deep depression and having daily severe panic attacks that ended her up in the hospital. I honestly didn’t know what to do. After reading great reviews, I reached out to Dr. Wachtel as a psychiatrist for my mom. She was so thorough, collecting all the information and following up with my mother’s doctors. She prescribed the right meds and closely monitored my mother. She has weekly check ins and within a short amount of time my mother began to feel better. She hasn’t had a panic attack in months. Dr. Wachtel goes above and beyond her job. She is rare in the medical profession because she has compassion, and truly cares. My mother loves her. She always answers my emails and concerns. I am extremely happy with how Dr. Wachtel helped my mom, and I honestly don’t think anyone else would have taken the time to really help a 91 year old woman. Dr. Wachtel is an expertise in her field and a miracle worker. I highly recommend her.

I recommend Dr. Wachtel. I've been seeing her for years and she is easy to talk with and very knowledgeable with the medications she prescribes. She is caring.

I have been seeing doctor Wachtel for the past 2 years. She is very caring, excellent listener, patient and knowledgeable . Dr Wachtel helped me to feel more motivated , I’m in a better mood and enjoy my life to the foolest.

I guess I lucked out - right on my very first meeting with Dr. Anna, I knew I found the right care provider I needed. She listens and talks to you with great care and empathy.

Dr. Wachtel helped me so much during the past few years. She helped me to overcome my alcohol addiction through careful diagnosing my depression and anxiety and treating with appropriate meds that not only helped me to feel better but made me realize that that I can be myself and enjoy friends and have fun without the need of alcohol. She listens and cares how I feel. Highly recommend !

I wish I could put in words how much I value Dr. Wachtel. I am so lucky to have found her when I need help the most in my life. I have found her to be compassionate and caring as well as very knowledgeable with DBT and medication management (especially for those with addictive issues). In the short time I have been working with her she has taught me coping skills to deal with early sobriety and all that comes with it. I could not be going through this without her and though I do the work, she guide me and offers different ways on how I may approach it and think about it in new light. I cannot recommend her enough.

As a New Yorker of 10 years, I have been through a good amount of mental health professionals and it is so rewarding to find one that is so ready to go on the journey with you to make you a better version of yourself. I have only been with Dr Anna Wachtel for less than 3 months and I already have a list of accomplishments, and I have friends and family telling me how I have my old “Pep in my step” coming back! I am so excited I found her and if you’re in need, stop searching! She is truly the most welcoming, caring individual who will hold you accountable and help you reach your goals.

Dr. Anna Wachtel has helped me tremendously over the few months since I've met with her. She listens and regularly checks in with how I'm doing. I also feel like she genuinely cares about my well being and gets excited about my development. Every psychiatrist approaches therapy differently and I'm grateful that Dr. Wachtel and I get along so well and that she is able to really pinpoint what I'm going through.

Dr W is very caring, kind, professional and will explore all aspects of your health...not just your mental health. Her holistic approach along with her personal warmth and empathy compel me to give her 5 stars. Anything less would be selling her short.

I went to Dr. Wachtel because I was suffering from anxiety and depression. Her easy manner and keen sense of humor made it very easy to talk to her. She genuinely cares about my welfare. Dr. Wachtel listens in earnest and makes me a partner in my treatment. She is an expert in prescribing and adjusting medications to suit my individual needs. I am so glad I found her.

This is my first visit with a psychiatrist and it is like being with a friend. Dr. Wachtel gets me! I tell her something and she understands right away. She sticks to her time schedule, so you are not kept waiting. She has sympathy,empathy and a senseof humor. She is a lovely woman and never talks down to you. She also sees the whole person in her patients..not just the problem that brought you to her. Dr. Wachtel loves the practice of medicine and if you become her patient, you will love her!

I came to Dr. Wachtel suffering from alcoholism, opioid addiction and crippling anxiety. I identify as a trans woman, I was always wary of psychiatrists before Dr. Wachtel because of the impersonal manner in which they treated my psychiatric illnesses and their judgement based off of how I chose to identify myself. Dr. Wachtel not only adjusted my medication, convinced me to join an AA program tailored towards the LGBTQ+ community and pursue my passion for writing, but also took the time to listen to my struggles identifying as a transgender woman, which I never experienced before. her intelligence with medication, her humor and her empathetic personality, she helped me feel comfortable sitting in an office and I began to open up more, giving me the confidence to start dating again and to begin applying to jobs in the social media field. I'm forever grateful for the help Dr. Wachtel gave me and highly recommend her services!

Dr Wachtel had helped me to overcome anxiety symptoms, she has a very good insight and she’s an excellent listener. Dr. Wachtel helped me to get off slowly from a controlled substance I was prescribed for years and instituted treatment that was very helpful to me!

Dr. Wachtel is caring and a good listener. Highly recommend !

Dr. Wachtel has changed my life. Mental illness is truly a disease and needs to be treated. I know in my experience both through medication and continued therapy. Dr. Wachtel has helped me face deep rooted issues of mine and learn the truth about myself which has improved my relationships and standard of living - for which I’m grateful. Cheers!

I have been seeing Dr. Wachtel on and off for different life challenging situations since 2002. From PTSD and anxiety after an attack, to depression and pain due to chronic illness. It took some time to get over different hurdles but she never gave up on me. I like that she keeps track of the medications I take from other doctors and carefully chooses a combination that works well together. I also changed my eating habits, started meditating and work out …things, I wouldn’t even have considered in the past. I not only love life again, I have learned to truly love myself as well.
