Waldman, with the guidance of God ALMIGHTY, has made my existence healed and restored. I have never seen such patience, determination and perseverance. This is the GREATEST THANKSGIVING, I have ever had. Waldman is the ONLY Psychiatrist that has listened to ME and he may try a lot of different drugs, but he doesn't promote addiction. You have to be a team and not give up , when you have a mental disorder. Dr Waldman will"get out there and do something." He really is prompt to respond to your desperation. He will be there for you as soon as he possibly can. Don't ever stop trying.

I've been seeing him for about 8 months now. He quite literally saved my life! He is laid back yet direct, he will tell you like it is even if it's not what you want to hear. His knowledge of the actual pharmacology aspect of his practice, well, he's genius! He literally changed every one of my meds, thus taking me off the ledge that my last doctor had me on. I can't recommend him enough!

Dr Waldman listened to me carefully, patiently, and kindly. He revised my diagnosis and changed my medicines with great improvement for me. He is patient, empathetic, and seems very bright and knowledgeable. After two years of intermittent visits, I am very happy with his care. And I feel much happier, and more patient, which is the goal.

Dr. Waldman basically told my daughter that she was spoiled and entitled and that she just needed to deal with her anxiety issues. He told her that he could write her a prescription for zoloft if she just wanted something. She said that he didn't have an office staff and that the entire experience was awful.
