It seems like I get a different nurse every time I go in.
September 20, 2019
I've been a patient here since the clinic began and a patient of Dr. Wachs's even before that, and I've always been impressed by the level of care, the genuine concern, the quality of the staff and nurses, the cleanliness and short waits. My whole family has been healthier and happier because of this clinic and its professionalism.

Totally pleased with my experience
September 06, 2019
I waited nearly half an hour after my appointment to even see the nurse, and then I had to wait nearly an hour before my doctor could even show up. What was supposed to be a short appointment lasted an hour and a half.

Good work

Dr Wachs exceeded my expectations when he contacted me himself over the weekend to check in with me to see how I was doing and how he could help. He contacted others on his medical team and called me back that same day to take care of my current medical needs.

The person who did my blood work at 8:00 AM was not friendly or at all nice. Did not even say good morning. It is a nerve wracking time for patients and often the first person you deal with is the blood work people.

April 22, 2019
Very satisfied with my doctor and the clinic, you will have a difficult time replacing Dr. Wachs!!
April 10, 2019
I want people to understand that Dr. Wachs found the solution to a gery difficult condition I was dealing with. My entire left side of my face was in excruciating pain. Often I would cry at the severity of pain and the fact that I couldn't get any relief. My daughter took me to the dentist because we thought it was stemming from my teeth and my dentist worked on my teeth and still I got no relief. I went to Dr. Wachs and he carefully listened as I explained my symptoms and he went onto his computer and studied for a good length of time and then he said he believed I had Trigeminal Neuralgia. We looked at the symptoms and it was exactly what I was going through. He prescribed me medication and within a very short time I got my first moment of pain free relief. This is a very rare condition and the fact that my doctor is so knowledgeable to be able to diagnose my condition amazes me. I am so grateful for the time Dr. Wachs spent diagnosing me and that he found a way to help what was unbearable pain.
