Please be weary before engaging with this md. She is negligent, lazy, and lies. I paid $400 for a 10 minute video conference with her for my fiancé. She said he needed to go into the ED but refused to place a hold. The hospital discharged him that night but he was stil not well and I had to call an abulance a couple days later. I implored her to place a hold this time. Her excuse was that she can’t because “she’s not affiliated with a hospital. The paramedics and three other psychiatrists told me that is not true. A friend and her husband both became psychiatrists and i contacted them for guidance. They contacted a psychiatrist they knew who did a fellowship in forensic psychiatry, and he confirmed that she can place a hold and her excuse about hospital affiliation is simply not valid.

Secondly, when I stayed with my parents in another state and needed my prescription transferred, she again refused, saying she’s not licensed in Connecticut. The pharmacist said she has an active NPI and DEA number and she is capable of calling in the prescription. The pharmacist called her twice and left messages with no reply.

This is a doctor that can not be trusted. She truly believes that she can charge this much money without ever doing anything difficult. Both my fiancé and I suffered in her hands.

Very caring. Helped me so very much with genetics and also looking at all my medical issues, with my lab tests, not just her psychiatry expertise.

The way Dr. Spellman used my genetics to find me the right medicine was a God-send. She is a great Doctor and I highly recommend her.

I started seeing Dr Spellman around the summer of 2014. I began searching for a therapist, particularly a psychiatrist, shortly after marrying my wife. I knew there were areas in my life that I needed to address, in order to give our marriage the best chance of success. I found Dr Spellman, called her, left a message, and soon after she called me back. Talking with her on the phone, even, reassured something in me that my decision to call Dr. Spellman, was a very good decision. I started visiting Dr Spellman on my own for approximately 3 months. This was very helpful to issues I was struggling with; things such as depression and attention difficulties. Along the way, Dr Spellman encouraged me to bring my wife to our therapy sessions. My wife was resistant to therapy, yet agreed to come. Fast forward to almost 3 years later, and there is little little doubt about the absolute blessing that Dr Spellman has had on our life, and upon our family. My wife and myself, visit with Dr Spellman regularly, and it has always been a positive factor in our marriage, life, and family. An absolute blessing. Dr Spellman is much more than simply a psychiatrist, she is a fantastic therapist, who listens. Dr. Spellman has the unique ability to address all aspects of a persons being; mind, body, soul and spirit. Yet even here, Dr Spellman has an ability to address specific areas; such as mind or body, as well as a persons whole being.
