The Dr didn't talk to me about my x-rays or MRIs to explain where my pain was coming from. He said that he looked at them but I don't believe that he did. He had me walk back and forth, pull and push with my arms, he stretched my legs and hips and that was it. He made no reference to anything specific in my MRI, nothing about my scoliosis, the bone spurs pinching nerves on each side, nothing! I would recommend that you go somewhere else if you ate looking for help with pain that doesn't involve thousands of milligrams of pain medicine.

She was kind and courteous whilst showing genuine concern for my health. She did always have cold hands, but with cold hands comes a warm heart.

Backstory - I went to see Ciccarelli a few years back to have a prescription refilled after witnessing a horrible car accident that my friends were involved in. I was first on the scene and ended up pulling them out of their burning vehicle. The entire experience was pretty traumatizing and resulted in me being diagnosed with mild PTSD (I would get random panic attacks for no real reason). Another doctor had made the diagnosis and prescribed me Lorazepam, a mild anti-anxiety medication, similar to Xanax. I ended up going to see Ciccarelli because I ran out of my prescription while I was visiting my parents. Instead of simply evaluating me, and refilling my prescription, Ciccarelli attempted to prescribe me a different medication.. Zoloft. Yes you read correctly. She attempted to prescribe me a long-term, high-dependance forming, anti-depression medication for my acute hypertension. Puzzled by the decision, I told her that I didn't want to take Zoloft, because I didn't want to become dependent on a substance for a condition that appeared to be lessening on its own (in terms of severity). I simply needed a short-acting anti-anxiety medication to help calm me down during the event of a panic attack. Ciccarelli's response to this was, "I'm the doctor, don't you think I should be making those decisions?" I was absolutely stunned. I literally couldn't believe that she was attempting to put me on a long-term anti-depressant in order to treat my SHORT term hypertension. I refused the prescription. On my way out the door, Ciccarelli stopped me and asked if I had any friends in the area in need of a doctor. She went on to explain that her practice in Clear Spring (which has since closed) wasn't doing well and she needed to bring in new patients, or risk having to close the practice. Once again, I was stunned. All of a sudden it made perfect sense... she was attempting to put me on a long-term medication plan to force me to come back into her office for regular check-ups, thus giving her practice more money. I was utterly appalled. I left without responding to her plea. A month or so later, I was talking to a relative of mine who previously had used Ciccarelli as her GP. 17 years old at the time, she informed me that after Ciccarelli learned that she had a boyfriend, Ciccarelli had said, "If I knew you were going to become sexually active, I would have never prescribed you birth control in the first place." This made me see red. This doctor actually had the nerve to cast her own personal beliefs onto the healthcare of my family member. In my opinion, this should be grounds to lose your medical license. Not only was it none of her business, but she ABSOLUTELY had NO right to make that comment and threaten to revoke the birth control prescription. You are a PUBLIC SERVANT, nothing more. Get off your high horse and do your job. Ciccarelli is dangerous. She is not only willing to put her own patient's well being behind the success of her practices, but shes also no stranger to imposing her own personal conservative beliefs on to the medicine she practices. She should she be ashamed of herself and avoided at all costs.
