As a mom experiencing post partum depression, I found Dr Wacks to be competent and professional. He referred me to one of their on house therapists, which worked out wonderfully, but when she moved to California, he was perfectly willing to stay on with me as my psychiatrist when I moved to a therapist out of his practice.
He doesn't say much during sessions, but both of my therapists and I agree that he is very good at prescribing the right drugs and changing medication needs in response to patient needs.. I didn't need him to have a phenomenal bedside manner as he wasn't my therapist, and I found him easy to make appointments with. I had none of the problems described by other reviewers and I was with his practice for about six months. I guess I saw him three or four times. Again, he didn't inspire me to gush about how wonderful he was, but he found a good combination of drugs that worked for me, and was proficient in meeting my needs.
