My unfortunate experience with Dr. Wald goes back quite a few years ago, but as the saying goes, "better late than never". I agree with Melody's and Lynn's reviews of Dr. Wald, charming, manipulative, relatively knowledgeable in his areas of expertise, but DEFINITELY mainly interested in his own financial gain first, "helping" his patients second. I brought both my children to him as they both had the same problem at the time. The initial consultations and follow-up appointments for each child were very expensive. There was a recommendation for a couple of supplements, maybe some blood testing also, not sure as it was a long time ago. Between all of that it cost me about $2,000 (probably would be quite a bit more today). In any case, what I do remember for sure is this. At the follow-up appointment, Dr. Wald recommended that each of my children should have growth hormone shots. I asked how much, they were not cheap, but I assumed that he meant monthly shots. "Oh no, daily shots" said Dr. Wald. "For three months." I never went back to him after that. Not only would the cost have been absolutely astronomical, I found out that that many growth hormone shots could have been very dangerous for my children (they were teenagers at the time).
Luckily for my children, their problems have since been resolved and they are both healthy (NO hormone shots were involved!) My wallet was not so healthy after shelling out a lot of money to Dr. Wald for pretty much nothing except bad advice. Live and learn. It has always bothered me and I knew that I could never get the money back. I was online today and something made me curious to see if he was still in practice in Mt. Kisco which is where his office was back then. It appears that he has moved his office further north but is still practicing. When I read the other two reviews I decided to add my "two cents" in exchange for my two thousand dollars that he cost me. And as Melody said in her review, "to make others aware", especially important is the fact that he has been reported to the medical board. So be careful.
(Also interesting, if you look at Dr. Wald's photos, they all look like he is posing for a photo op, and none of them show him with any patients. Just saying.) read more
