Richard M Wachsman, MD

Always worth the wait to see him. Does a better job than other physicians to get to the bottom of the problem. Takes as much time as needed to assess the problems other doctors miss.Also, the hospital affiliations are incorrect. He works at Mesa Vista Hospital San Diego

Would refer my friends and family. Personable and caring, he spent plenty of time and was very methodical The medications prescribed were explained and directions written down to avoid errors. Highly experienced with learning problems, family issues, eating disorders, addictions, twelve step recovery, psychiatric support of the elderly and chronic pain. He has treated three generations of my family,i.e., he is our family psychiatrist!

I was surprised to see that this doctor has 34 years of experience in psychiatry. My sister is a patient of his and it is unbelievable the non-treatment she has received. The day after her last appointment with him she was taken by ambulance to the hospital with 6 Fenenyl patches on her and 3 seditives in her system. She nearly died. He has yet to contact her since her release. He has not a clue of what is going on with her and never asks her husband for any input..............

Helped me! Very experienced and informed. Knows Medications well.

Good with meds.
