Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

They Care About Me
I can’t say enough wonderful things about the care I’ve received from my psychiatrist. From the very first visit, I felt truly seen, heard, and valued—not just as a patient, but as a person. The environment is so welcoming and peaceful, and every session feels like sitting down with family.Their genuine compassion, attentive listening, and thoughtful guidance have made such a difference in my life. I never feel rushed or judged, and I always leave feeling lighter, more hopeful, and supported.If you’re looking for a psychiatrist who truly cares and creates a safe, healing space, I highly recommend them. It’s more than just excellent service—it’s a place where you can heal, grow, and feel at home.

Made it very easy to transfer from my previous Psychiatrist with no issues! Front office staff is also very communicative which is hard to come by at Doctor offices. Very appreciative for them taking me as a patient

I’ve been a (virtual visit) patient of Dr. Widlacki’s for almost two years. He and his staff are so easy to work with. Finding the right psychiatrist can be intimidating but he is completely approachable and makes you feel like he’s really on your team.

Best Doctor Ever

Blue Wave Psychiatry - Dr. Felix Widlacki D.O. gave me my life back. I was struggling with debilitating anxiety. I mean I miss 8 weeks of work. Dr Widlacki prescribed me meds that I picked up at 2pm and 90% of my anxiety was gone by 5pm same day. I own two doctors offices and have extremely high standards for doctors. Dr Widlacki I is great and highly recommend him. I had been to 2 other doctors this week whose protocols did not work. Blue Wave literally gave me my life back.

Telehealth a plus

Telehealth with him is a plus. Friendly front office staff. No payment plans. Doesn't take a lot of insurance companies. Hard to reach is you need anything, just constant emailing and voice mail. Short visits but does help with what you need.

Caring and personalized care
Dr. Felix was a great listener and thoroughly explained each medication, side effects, as well as the pros and cons to empower me as the patient to make the best choice possible. This was a big step for me but him and his staff helped me to feel at peace and prepared. I really appreciate that he took the whole intake time to assess my needs and did not make me feel rushed (which I find to be rare in healthcare) or just prescribe me one thing to get my appointment over with. Thank you Blue Wave for a great experience and giving me hope for healthcare again!

Dr. Widlacki was personable, caring and professional. I had a televisit with him and it felt just as I was in the office. I felt comfortable talking to him and his demeanor was pleasant which is so important for this field. I am so grateful I found him and appreciate how understanding he was.

Worst doctor you could pick
Unprofessional, never available, calls out a lot canceling patient appointments and threatened me if I didn’t folllow his direct orders he’d no longer see me as a patient. This is a mental health provider by the way, this is how he treats his patients.

Honest opinion. I suffer severely from cptsd anxiety and depression. He made me feel comfortable enough to get the help I needed and has been so “above and beyond” as a provider. I truly believe he is a understanding, and caring and honest person with a real passion for his work. Thank you so much for taking care of me Dr. Widlacki. I’m so grateful.
