Dr. Corelli has a certain method of working with his patients that he is very strict to adhering to. It is true: he will not prescribe medication unless you see him every one to two weeks. I did not find it true though that he prescribed medication too quickly. I have social anxieties and had never taken medication for my social anxieties before. My family has a history of mental disorders, including ones other than social anxieties; so Dr. Corelli wanted to make sure he prescribed the right medication. It took him awhile to start my prescription for Lexapro. Dr. Corelli listens very intently to what you say. After you are done, he will make a statement. Sometimes he will say only one word. And yet that statement or word really opened my eyes to something I had not noticed before. It really helped. If I had to skip some weeks, I found that I needed to see him despite the fact that he says so little.

This doctor was dismissive and has a requirement of 2 weekly psychotherapy visits per month or he will not prescribe medication. I am too busy for that many appointments, I cannot pay that much, and he would not even consider exceptions. He dismissed me out of hand with a curt, 'I cannot accept you as a patient at this time.' This is unacceptable.

No medication management. Did not communicate with me. Would just stare at me when I didn't know what to talk about. Did not help in anyway at all!!!

No medication management with this doctor. Very strict with scheduling his patients and requires that you see him at least once per week which can be very inconvenient at times. Also, I find him to have very poor communication skills.

Cold, impersonal manner; condescending; treats grave problems lightly and quick to prescribe medication without really listening to the patient. Sessions ended promptly at the 40-minute mark.
