“Dr. Wexler is a gentle genius… he is kind and reassuring, while also extremely knowledgeable about psychopharmacology. More than a decade ago, I turned to him at a time when I was desperate for help… after my first appointment, I felt a sense of relief that I had found a doctor that would listen and that wouldn’t give up until we’d come to a solution. Not long after our first appointment, I was feeling much better and saw him regularly for several years. He is one of the few doctors I’ve found that I actually trust with my life!” -Miles Ashlock
