He is unprofessional and a narsacis. Don't use him for any evaluation, he will lie on his initial report, for the love of money.

Unprofessional and very condescending, interesting given his own history of substance abuse problems.

Spent 5 minutes with and spent almost $1k with and didn't get to ask a single question regarding care. I was rushed out and treated unfairly. He is an insult to the profession and question his ability to care for patients. He had to look up the guidelines for major depression in the DSM5 which should be standard knowledge for this practice.

IF YOU WERE IN IOP AT FLORIDA RECOVERY CENTER FROM 2014-2020, I PROBABLY HAD ACCESS TO A TON OF YOUR PERSONAL HEALTH INFORMATION WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT! This review in particular is about Laura Perez, who is licensed in South Carolina as a social worker but not in Florida. She works under Dr. Teitelbaum but does not have her own rating page. After I finished intensive outpatient therapy with Ms. Perez, she slowly started to invite me into her personal/private life. A few years later, I knew her entire family very well, was regularly invited to spend time with them, and was given "privileges" that patients/former patients should never be offered. For example, I was given an unofficial secret volunteer position at FRC where I assisted Ms. Perez with filing and other administrative duties, including countless amounts of current patients' PHI, and I was regularly privy to extensive gossip about my peers (both current and former IOP and PHP patients), as well as gossip/complaints about FRC leadership, that took place between Ms. Perez and her colleagues. She often asked me to perform public records searches or look up the social media profiles of patients/former patients in order to gain additional information about them that they had not chosen to share with her directly. Additionally, Ms. Perez regularly called upon me to provide services such as (mostly uncompensated - I believe she paid me around $75 once when I stayed with 2 of her kids for ~3 days while she and her husband were out of town, which is nowhere near an appropriate amount) babysitting, housesitting, and transportation for her children, who were minors at the time. I was manipulated and coerced for years into believing that I needed to remain close to Ms. Perez in order to maintain my recovery, which simply isn't true and never was. This manipulation lasted for close to a decade before I was finally able to work through this additional trauma and break ties with the toxic FRC environment once and for all. I would never trust this organization with the care of any of my loved ones. I have since reported her to the Social Work licensing board of South Carolina since she's not even licensed in Florida.

This animal exceeds every stereotype of crooked Dr

Although his description is listed as “psychiatrist,” it should be noted that this charlatan is not board certified in adult psychiatry or addiction psychiatry, according to his own UF faculty page. His reputation, like his blustering arrogance, is not related to evidence-based medicine. Instead, his position of power has allowed him to gaslight and abuse clients with significant mental illness. It is unfortunate that this person retains any ability to practice medicine.

Dr. Teitelbaum and the staff at Florida Recovery went above and beyond to help our family member get sober. They told us the TRUTH, they did not mislead or minimize the problem. When our family member struggled, they helped him to get back on track and for us to understand & deal with family issues. We chose FRC because of first hand knowledge of Dr. T and FRC saving the life of a colleague. I suspect my nephew would not be alive today without the help and care from Dr. Teitelbaum and the staff at Florida Recovery Center. It is difficult to understand many of the comments below. Our experience was 180 degrees from what others expressed.

This guy is an insult the profession. He lacks empathy and has a power hungry and pompous attitude . He should be held accountable for his lack of insight and horrendous reputation. He should not have a license and he seems impaired… he should resume a job as a maintenance lawn man He will learn that one must live by the golden rule.

Anyone with horrible experiences please message me [email protected]
