Patient Reviews
Oct 01, 2019
Dr. Wachtel diagnosed me several years ago with bronchiectisis. He went into little explanation nor did I have the wherewithal to question him at the time. Because I was never warned by him about the vulnerability of the likelihood of colonized pseudomonas, I now have stage 4 COPD. My quality of life is compromised beyond measure. I have been to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester and there is virtually nothing to be done for me and this progressive disease. I cannot say if this situation could have been avoided, but I can say Dr. Wachtel should have taken the time to explain to me what could happen ( and did), and any possible ways to minimize the risks. I do not like this doctor, his office is chaos, and he should retire. I prefer to remain anonymous but if anyone has a question about my story, I will gladly reply.
