Daliah Wachs, MD

A coworker recommended Dr. Wachs after my regular doctor’s office wasn’t answering the phone. Surprisingly, I called and was able to get an appointment the following day. To be honest the reviews had me very leery. Even my coworker said the staff is not that great, and it’s unfortunate because it reflects badly on the doctor. I went in expecting the worse and so far I have only had to see the doctor twice. The first time I did wait for about 50 minutes before I even got a room. I couldn’t really complain because it was shorter than the wait I would have experience at Urgent Care. So far I like the doctor. She’s very friendly although she did want to order additional testing which at the time I didn’t think was necessary because it wasn’t related to my visit. My second visit was much quicker which could have had to do with her prior schedule commitments outside of the office. I’m thankful I only get sick about once a year so based on my experiences with this office I will call them again if I have a future issue.

STAY AWAY from Dr. Wachs! Here’s just one of my stories. Went to her on the suggestion of a friend. Very nice woman I thought. She took blood, etc., and sent me to get a mammogram. 3 weeks later her office leaves a message on my cell phone, then 5 minutes later I get a call from my mom totally freaking out because the Drs office called my mom saying they couldn’t get in touch with me and had to talk to me about my mammogram! They called my emergency contact after 5 minutes! I call them back the same day, had to leave a message. Didn’t hear from them, so I call again and again and when they finally call me back after 5 days, they ask that I come in immediately to discuss my mammogram. Now I’m totally freaked out. I get there and Dr. Wachs says, oh I just want you to get an ultrasound — insurance won’t cover it unless we say something’s wrong and just smiled and gave me a few more referrals for an ultrasound and mri. By the way, I went to another doctor, Dr. Kramer who is an amazing doctor and he called the lab and had my mammogram sent over. Nothing showed up on the mammogram and he said it was as good as it gets. He couldn’t believe what she put me through. Dr Wachs cares nothing about her patients, only about getting $$$. i will never give her another dime and I hope no one else does either. She should stick to her radio show and not practice medicine.

A friend recommended this doctor, 15 mins on hold before I hung up. Couldn’t even make an appointment.

DO NOT GO HERE. I had an appointment today and the staff was incredibly rude. I never even got to see the doctor. I had a billing policy question, which the front desk attendant couldn’t answer. I was nervous about their billing because of all of the other negative reviews on various sites. She just shrugged (without making eye contact) and completely ignored me. They had a chart with their billing policy in the waiting room next to a Coke machine, which I took a photo for my own documentation. Then, the doctor’s husband comes out of nowhere screaming, «THAT’S ILLEGAL!!! This is a doctors office and that’s a HIPPA violation!» He got in my face like a middle school bully, tried to take my phone, and I felt that he was about to physically assault me. Then he told me to leave.
First of all, HIPPA is about patient records, not about horribly misspelled signs in a waiting room. When I asked who he was, he got in my face and said «I’m Doctor Cory,» like I was supposed to know he was.
These people are ridiculous. The place is filthy. From behind the reception area, you can see literally piles and piles of records sectioned off by bedroom curtains. All of the reviews are true about this place. Stay away.

Very disappointing. She and her office staff are horrible and rude. They believe that its the patients responsibility to call the doctors office repeatedly to get results of blood work and other scans. What’s even funnier is when you actually call they still don’t get back to you and or know what’s going on! She do anything to bill you insurance but will not call you to over negative results! She doesn’t respect older people and think that she is better than the patients that are paying her. IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH OR THE HEALTH OF YOUR LOVED ONES DO NOT GO TO THIS OFFICE.

Worst Dr office ever!!! Went in for regular check up and bloodwork. Never got results. I called every single day for 2 wks Never got a call back. 6 mos… still no results!!! Not to mention her MA reeked like pot when she walked in the exam room!!! Never going back, I’ve had better service at the dmv!!!

WOAH! I saw this doctor as a patient for a quite a few years over 5 years. She was my my primary physician. I felt comfortable there, she knew everything about me. Any time I mentioned anything, I was tested for it. At first I thought it was a good thing, until I realized she was just milking the cow. I am a healthy 20 something year old female with no real health problems except an old torn shoulder injury from sports. I was a patient of hers while she was becoming a «famous radio dr» on local AM radio, and boy did I notice the change. To get to the point, and not bore you with the details, I have never been so humiliated by anyone in my life. Perhaps I am so upset with her and her demeanor, because she was my personal doctor for years and I expect a medical professional to actually be a professional, and show some human empathy and be decent! One day I came into the office in excruciating pain, my shoulder was «stuck» This happened a few times before and I would get shots to relax it and take away the pain. She would do these shots. So, about the 3^rd time it happened over the corse of a few years, I came in, in total pain and tears, and her front desk kids were wanting me to make an appointment and come back in a few days (although they take walk ins and I had been coming there for years) Long story short, I was in dire, crying pain, and left the office that way because they didn’t want to treat me — as I was leaving Dr D was in the hall and asked what happened, as I was explaining the situation her husband interjected, like physically interjected, tried to say I couldn’t talk to her in the hallway and actually tried to bully me out the doors… like belly bump me with his big, fat belly out the door. (((The husband who is just a chiropractor and shares the office space felt he should interject into a conversation I was having with Dr D and «protect his woman»))) It actually turned into a scene in front f everyone, and it was humiliating for me. It was an unprofessional escalation of circumstances once the husband felt like he should get involved. I left the office and a few weeks later received a letter stating they would not treat me anymore. Big LOL. I was PISSED — they didn’t need to send me a letter, I wasn’t planning on coming back after that fiasco. I was humiliated in front of the office and full waiting room and treated like a bum on a street corner. And then I received that $ 700 bill in the mail. She’s a DR, she should have more compassion for people in pain, but, she’s all about the money, so she could care less.
All the things in all the other reviews are true. She is all about the money and prestige and fame, all EGO. She is also CHEAP, too cheap to pay for quality staff, or a staff that not fresh out of «i need a career school».She will bill, and double bill, take your co-​pay then bill you for your copay. She will unnecessarily test you to make that paper. She is a control freak that has to do every part of the business instead of just doing what she could be good at, being a famed doctor (that I’m not mad about) It’s sad because she is knowledgeable, and likable and if she actually spent the money for a good support staff and dumbed the chump husband that has ZERO patients yet shares her office space, perhaps she would be that STAR she so wants to be.

Dr. Wachs staff is incompetent. They seem to be fresh out of school, if even that. You can’t get a straight confident answer. It appears that there’s no office manager that’s running that place. It’s an absolute nightmare. Main subjects Lakisha (spell check) and Karen. Good luck to that office and it’s success.

Problems and more problems. Dr. is a hot mess. Because she is on the radio and rarely Fox 5, the Dr. believes she is a «celebrity nobody». More interested in being a famous Dr. than treating patients. All about the $$$$. Overcharges and overbills. Her personality is good, her practice not so much. Referrals are us is her motto. Always failed to forward information to the Dr. she referred me to. I stuck it out for over 2 years, other FORMER patients have mentioned the same problem. Her practice is out of date (compute wise), and the office is dingy.

Refused service to me because of my age (68). Enough said. Violation of Hippocratic Oath. I never EVER had a doctor refuse service to me in CO, in CT, in WY, ID or in NV.
Might have good radio show and passable spots on TV, but???
I have an EXCELLENT doctor now. I would never recommend a soul go to her. She doesn’t seem to ‘have the time.’ If you are over 50, forget it.

Nothing but problems at her office. she does little except give referrals. everyrime I call I am on eternal hold and told sorry we are busy! Was told I had referral for ortho. then sat at ortho office 2 hrs. never seen because no referral. wait time to see her is always an hour or more. She does not have enough time for radio show and practice at same time. only sees pt in afternoon after radio show. I would never recomend anyone to her !!!
