Dr. Richard Alan Wachs, MD

I am abundantly impressed with Dr Wachs and his CNP, Mary Ellen. For a year we have collected symptoms and labs trying to determine what was affecting my 1 year old. When I reached out to Dr Wachs at BreatheAmerica, I was extremely pleased to find he was willing to communicate ahead of the appointment with us to ensure it was a good match and both he and CNP, Mary Ellen, reviewed all of our symptoms and labs in detail before we arrived. Within a few minute appointment, we had a diagnosis we had an impossible time getting without invasive labs other doctors wanted to perform. Mary Ellen had superb knowledge and bedside manner and Dr Wachs is extremely knowledgeable. What impresses me most as a mom is when doctors truly listen and give you the benefit of the doubt on reactions you KNOW your child is having. I got all the time I needed to ask every question without feeling rushed. I also applaud their willingness to reach out to other doctors out of state since the syndrome my daughter has is rare and complicated. I am SO PLEASED we made the decision to see Dr Wachs and his team. This team sets the bar for medical care. ~ Happy Mom of baby

Arrogant and didn't listen.

WAS EXCITED WHEN HE GOT MY SON AN APPOINTMENT THE NEXT DAY CONSIDERING THE OTHER LUNG DOCTORS COULDN'T SEE HIM FOR 2 MONTHS. ARRIVED AT THE OFFICE 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT AND WAITED WITH MY 4 YR OLD AND 2 YR OLD FOR ALMOST 2 HOURS IN THE WAITING ROOM. NEVER RECEIVED AN APOLOGY OR ANY UPDATES. EVENTUALLY HAD TO JUST GET UP AND LEAVE. NEVER AGAIN!

I made an appointment with Dr. Wachs a couple of weeks ago. He had to cancel & reschedule. Understood. When I showed up for my rescheduled appointment WITH A CONFIRMATION EMAIL OF MY APPOINTMENT, I was told there was no appointment scheduled. Extremely frustrated, and will discourage anyone I know of making an appointment with Dr. Wachs.

My children have been to see Dr. Wachs several times in the last few months for several different issues, including asthma, allergy and acute illness. Every time, I have been extremely satisfied with hDr. Wachs' approach and care. He gave me options that fit my family's lifestyle and my children have been much more controlled and feeling better. He is very patient with them and always listens to all my concerns and answers all my questions. I would recommend him to any adult or child in need of allergy care.

Dr Wachs has an excellent bedside manner. He took great interest in me and was always available. I can reach him personally at any time I need him. He is update on the latest medical findings and is electronically connected for ease of prescriptions and record access.Dr Wachs has given me one to one service any time I have needed him. He understands the life of an allergic patient young or old in my family.

Dr. Wachs has been a true blessing to my daughter who suffers from severe allergies. We NEVER have a long wait in the waiting room and we are NEVER rushed through our appointment. To top it off, a children's specialist with hours good for school age children. He actually has Saturday hours!!! Unheard of in today's world. And he's a smart doctor! Wish all our specialist were this good ! You are going to love Dr. Wachs!

Very caring , excellent bedside manner, addresses all concerns. We were not rushed during our visit and child was most comfortable with him.Also has a support group for individuals with food allergies which is most helpful !

He got my son in within a day. Office was new and nice with things for my son to do while he waited. He answers his own phone after hours.
