She was very helpful in my mental health journey. Amazing resources for therapy and evaluations, she recommended me to 2 places that were both exactly what I needed. When I decided to switch psychiatrists (a Psych that was recommended by the therapist SHE sent me to); she had a very different reaction than what you would expect someone who wanted to help would have. I called in to cancel the appointment, and it was perfect timing with her needing to reschedule as well. When I brought up that I found a new psych (because they specialize in the issue I’m having, are much cheaper, and they’re also located closer to me); she “clarified” multiple times that she was the one who got me there and she wants me to continue going to her because she also specializes in that field. When I told her I was very appreciative of that she continued telling me that it’s very rude to cancel an appointment without 24 hours notice (I called 3 days before the appointment). This was just a very unprofessional end. (Prior to this I had brought up an issue I was having and her response to my research and self care was “let’s not self diagnose”; so I go where she recommended me without saying a word to the therapist and they ask if I had previously been evaluated for these issues I thought I had that were dismissed).This psychiatrist gaslights whether she knows or not.

Dr. Sonya Wakil has been an excellent therapist. She has helped me positively change my life in so many ways over the past year, and I am so thankful to have found her. Her background and experience are impressive, and she offers a non-judgmental and welcoming environment to discuss issues. I can't recommend her enough to anyone experiencing symptoms related to mental illness. Thank you Dr. Wakil :)

Dr. Sonya Wakil was recommended to me after a traumatic event in my life. Because the issue also concerned my male spouse, she agreed to see us together. And her agreement was fortuitous for both of us. She is patient and speaks to each of us with warm understanding and true concern. Not only has she been able to ameliorate the stress I have been having with my trauma, but has also, because of her medical degree, was able to help my husband with his diabetic issues, which has helped me reduce much of the worry I had been having with the fear that I might loose him to diabetes. My life is moving forward in a much more positive way.

Quality psychiatric care is an investment in one’s quality of life. It’s been my experience that a one hour sit down with Dr. Wakil is an investment yielding immediate return. I came to her in January looking to be assessed for what I now understand were challenges related to undiagnosed autism, ADHD, and PTSD. Challenges I’ve dealt with my entire life having zero context as to what or why. If we do not understand the problem, how then can we properly address it? After nearly thirty years of dealing with cognitive predispositions that I could not understand nor properly communicate, Dr. Wakil’s exhaustive breadth of professional experience and comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment has enabled me to more thoroughly understand and properly address the challenges I face in lieu of my conditions. Communication at every stage of care thus far (from application to diagnosis and treatment) has been collaborative and concise. I’ve personally come to recognize this as Dr. Wakil’s “distinguishing quality of care”. What’s set her apart from my previous providers is she listens; with a seemingly empathic capacity to contextualize my concerns in a way that fosters an accessible understanding of my reality. The metric for which I am grateful for her and her services is truly beyond words. I don’t have to be so puzzled about my experience as someone differently abled. I can finally start my life now. Thank you so much!

Dr. Wakil saved my life!! After struggling with depression, anxiety and ADHD all my life, she was the ONLY psychiatrist I’ve ever seen to actually spend the time to understand me. She was willing to have a dialogue with me and actually explain her thought process and reasoning, rather than just write a script and send me on my way. I cannot express my gratitude enough - thank you Dr. Wakil!!
