Not only knowledgable about diagnosis and medication, but a really good therapist. Has helped me and my family cope with a debilitating illness. He is a caring and compassionate man. Just wonderful all around

I have suffered with bipolar disorder for nearly 20 years. Unable to tolerate medications or remain stable. Dr. Wallack worked so hard to find a good regimen for next, calls me if I don't remember to see him. He even helped my husband to learn to understand my illness and is there for him n too. I don't know what we'd do without him.

I have seen Dr Wallack for several years. He is so caring and always available. After seeing several others, he was the first to accurately diagnose and help me. Hi students love him because he is an encyclopedia of knowledge. The reviewer who bad mouthed him apparently never saw him, so they had no right to post such untruths. Dr Wallack is wonderful.

I had a really bad experience with a long-term psychiatrist that I had in the past. So my #1 attribute I wanted was kindness and compassion. So I chose Dr. Wallack based solely on the review below. He cancelled my apt (waiting for a call back from my last doctor which could take weeks!!) knowing I needed medication management desperately. Why couldn't he see me? Then he told me he was going away the following week, which means I will be out of medication days before he returns and even then - no appointment for YOU!! So I have to start over with 8 days left before I run out. so upset. He did this like it was nothing. I mean really flip. Hmm.. my faith in doctors NOT restored by this guy.
