She is incredibly supportive and really understands medications and how they work but doesn't just write prescriptions. She takes a Holistic view of her patients and employs a variety of different strategies. Dr Cerulli changed my life and should teach a master class for other physicians. And not just on the science but also on bedside manner. There are not enough words in every language to properly convey how gifted and how incredible kind and gentle she is.

I used to be an LICSW on a psychiatric unit and know this is completely unacceptable and unprofessional. Basically encouraging people to hide their psych and/or substance abuse history. After reading some of the other reviews it's pretty clear that this person should not be practicing medicine and is not fit to be a provider of mental health services.

I was referred to Daniel Ackroyd by a friend who sees him for anxiety. She forewarned me that he…read morewas very strange but I figured that wouldn't be a problem since he was just going to be prescribing me anxiety medication that my pcp had previously prescribed and I wouldn't have much contact with him. Two other friends who no longer see him also warned me that he was a bit odd. I had a hard time getting in touch with him using both phone numbers I found online. He apparently does not have a receptionist as most doctors and does not answer his phone calls. He only corresponds through text messages so I was eventually able to contact him through text message. I set up an appointment and met him at 5:30pm (he does not work mornings). When I met with him it was pretty creepy as he was the only person in the office. My friends were correct in that he is quite odd. He asked me the usual questions that doctors ask and then prescribed me my prescriptions. They are not refillable so I had to go see him every 30 days for a refill. I understand if it was for a narcotic such as Xanax but one of them was for Paxil. My pcp always just had automatic refills on the Paxil and if I needed more Xanax I would make an appointment to see him. For some reason when I went to see him for the 2nd time he stated that he would no longer refill my Xanax because he felt that I had a drinking problem and "did not feel comfortable prescribing Xanax due to excessive drinking". I had told him on my previous visit that sometimes a glass or two of wine during the week will control my anxiety but I obviously didn't want to self medicate with alcohol. He took this as me stating that I drank multiple glasses of wine each night and had a drinking problem. Not sure how he came to that conclusion. So anyways, I was fine with not being prescribed Xanax and asked him to increase my Paxil from 20mg to 40 mg. It was working at that dosage and I no longer needed the Xanax or the occasional glass of wine to curb my anxiety. He was happy that my prescription was working and refilled it for me. I set up my appointment for the following month and he wrote it down on one of his cards as a reminder and gave it to me. As I was leaving he told me to have a good night and that he would see me in a month. He had previously texted me the night before an appointment to confirm my appointment on the following day but this time I did not receive the confirmation text. Maybe he just forgot? I had been sick with the flu so the morning of my evening appointment I texted him to reschedule from that evening to the following week on the same weeknight and time. I never heard back from him. I called and texted him every single day for an entire week after that and never received a text or call-back. I attempted to refill my prescription twice and each time he did not respond to the pharmacy to approve my refill. On my last text to him I asked to confirm that he was receiving my texts and also expressed concern that since he was not approving my refills I would be forced to stop taking the medication he had prescribed cold turkey which made me very nervous. It has now been numerous weeks and I have not heard from him and have "detoxed" from my prescription which was crippling and cost me time out of work. I recently found someone else and just started taking my Paxil again. When I told my new doctor about the situation he stated that he had heard of Dan and that it was very unprofessional for a doctor to do this to a patient and that I should contact the state medical board to report him (which I did). I should have listened to the strange reviews of his former and current patients instead of contacting him in the first place but I have learned my lesson. I suggest that if you are referred to him by your pcp or other doctor that you run as far away as possible in a different direction. I can deal with a doctor who is creepy and only works nights in an empty office and only corresponds through text but for a doctor to stop all contact without warning and reason is not only unethical but is detrimental to his patients health. I should have looked him up on Yelp from the beginning as it seems that other patients have had similar experiences with him. Be very, very wary of this guy as there is something not quite right with him. I was forced to rate him so I gave him 1 star. In reality I would have rated him with a negative star! Hahahaa

She made me feel like an intrusion, assumed I had had counseling before, and was very rude. She just looked at me when I approached the desk. Finally I had to ask if I was in the right spot. "Well who are you here to see? Do you have an appointment?" "Yes, with Diana Lavancher." "Well what do you want?" "Um...to check in?" "Whats your name?" After I announced my name to her and the stranger sitting close by (HIPPA!!!), she said "well you don't check in here, 'you people' (she said that!) just go straight over there!" She pointed somewhat in the direction of Diana's office door and then stood up, pushed her chair out with her knees and walked away. I should think you would have someone with the slightest degree of sensitivity and certainly a drop of courtesy and politeness representing a place that deals with people who obviously have a need for neutral, objective understanding. She is, without a doubt, the exact reciprocal and perhaps could use a little counseling herself on how to address people in general more kindly, but particularly in this type of setting! Does she know I was coming in for therapy because of some devastating tragedy or severe depression or any number of symptoms that warrant me coming there in the first place? I had anxiety about my 1st ever therapy session in my life, I was there for a reason, and because of her, I almost ran out the door. If Diana hadn't opened her door and greeted me warmly, that's exactly what I would have done. She does not belong in a patient care environment.

Instead of working with you to find another doctor which is typical, she stays out of the process and gives you thirty days to find one once you give her notice. Therefore, I couldn't tell her that I was looking for another doctor because I relied on Dr. Goldman for very necessary medications. She also tediously writes out her prescriptions for her clients during the visits instead of calling them in. She is incredibly stingy about sharing her time. I have much more serious complaints about Dr. Goldman but they are too personal to share. Once I left Dr. Goldman she never called my new therapist back to share information about my history. That was like the cherry on top of a very bad situation that I am so relieved to be out of.

I truly love this woman!

Anyway, I only go to her for my annual physical but she is so professional/patient focused that I referred my boyfriend as well. She is so caring and actually takes the time to ask questions and not only listen to but answer all of mine w/o making me feel like I am taking up her time. She has a bedside manner like no other and I'll miss her someday when I leave MA. I also love Amie- Dr. Mandel's administrative assistant- so sweet and if Amie says she'll find something out for you, she means it- always smiles and makes you feel like you made a great decision by going to their office. The waiting room is clean and there is a t.v to help pass the time if there is a wait. You won't mind if you do have to wait b/c you know that you'll get the same attention that Dr. Mandel is giving to whoever she has is the exam room.

I would go as far as saying that she could easily be a life coach as well - she is just that well rounded and genuine about what she does.
