Dr. Zalter has not always been my favourite, I've had many things annoy me about his office, from wait times to cancellations and his receptionist; however, I find that it has improved significantly. I'm usually not waiting any longer than 20 minutes past my appointment time. Recently I've had to deal with anxiety and depression and I can honestly say that Dr. Zalter helped me more than the councilor that I was seeing. He was extremely understanding and helpful. Many people have said he is a pill pusher, but I find the opposite. I saw him for many months before medication became somewhat of a last resort. He spoke to me with compassion and understanding. I never felt that I was being judged and he really helped me come out of a bad place. I felt like he really did care and I think that is hard to come by nowadays. My children also see him and I have never had an issue. I feel like he tries to resolve the issue as best as he can and if he cannot solve the problem, he will refer you to a specialist. I felt so embarrassed to cry in front of him, but he didn't miss a beat, he just handed me a Kleenex and listened. Dr. Zalter gave me a ton of ways to try to help myself and pull myself out of a dark place. I am thankful for that. You also have to remember that most people only leave reviews when they are angry (I am normally one of those people).
