This So call Dr did an emergency kidney stone removal with laser on May 29,2012 . After the surgery he told my mom who admitted me at the time that he had removed the stone. I have been in pain ever since then to this day . I've gone to the hospital twice after the surgery and the ER doctors didn't do anything assuming he did his job right. Finally I was referred by my general Dr to a specialist . That specialist not only found that the stone was still there but also found that my ureter tube was severely damaged. I needed 2 surgeries after his blotched surgery and still pending more to correct his mistake . I am in extreme pain everyday and have to take pain medication constantly
In 2009 Dr. Wachs did a TUNA procedure on my prostate that permanently destroyed 90% of my ejaculatory response. He never warned me of any possible negative results...or scheduled me for a post-op exam.
This guy did a procedure on my wifes bladder where they put water inside and measure the pressure I assume. It appeared to us that he did not even know how to use the machine and when it did not register a reading he started tapping the monitor and then took it out on his assistant because nothing was happening. It hurt her pretty badly to whihc all he could say was it should not have hurt. He never cared enough to try and find out why if her reaction was so contrary to what he thought should have occurred. I never had the feeling that he was trustworthy.
My husband is the victim of a botched hernia surgery and was sent to Wachs in the hopes of getting treatment for erectile dysfunction,hydrocele,and various other issues due to mesh complications and nerve entrapment. What my husband got was questions regarding what dope he smoked, if he had purchased Viagra off the street, and how Wachs could help his son get out of a criminal charge! He proceeded to put in his written report that my husband's problems were due to narcotics, pain pills and his age, my husband is 33 and there is no reason for his issues other than the botched surgery done by yet another worthless doctor. Wachs is a joke and gives a bad name to those few and far between doctors who are actually serving their communities.
Everytime I go into his office, his staff is doing something that goes against HIPPA. For example, we were in an exam room and one of his staff came in and put another patients medical chart in full view of us wide open. This doctor is like a mad scientist. We will be finding another doctor because he was careless in filling our last prescription.
Dr. Wachs is very dedicated. He has come to the emergency room twice in the middle of the night to attend to my husband. I have been able to...
Both my husband and I saw him. He's really nice! We have full confidence in him.
Dr. Wachs is a wonderful and caring doctor with extremely professional staff. I always feel that he listens very carefully to all my concerns and tries to help as much as possible. I highly recommend this doctor.
