Dr. Celys was extremely quick to diagnose our child after spending a MAXIMUM of 10 minutes with him (is that even possible?). She recommended medication and never mentioned any other alternatives, which we thought it was very odd. Something that caught our attention is that she practically trashed our son's school and suggested to sign him up on a "accessible" institution that would fit better his needs. Very unprofessional. We will not be going back.

Dr. Cely is responsive, caring, thoughtful, patient, thorough, accurate, and an extremely good listener. My son is absolutely safe in her hands. His needs are rapidly addressed, even when multiple interventions are needed within a short span. I do not know what we would do without her. Our journey has not been easy. It is so easy for my son's therapeutic regime to require unforeseen adjustments, but we have one dependable constant in the middle of sudden chaos - Dr. Cely.

If you have a copay she will accept it and then you might as well bend over. Then you will receive a bill for over 300$. With absolutely no payment options. It gets better. Now she sends you for a 6000$ test. This you have options if you meet certain criteria. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more amusing. Now when you are about to run out of medication you have to have a follow up appointment. Took my son of medication and he made A B honor roll.

This office is very unprofessional. The constantly mess up the prescriptions. Cely will make a judgement, which is often wrong, within 4-5 mins of seeing the child. We disagreed, so she decided to stop seeing my child. Jill was very nice, but Cely is very rude and arrogant.

She was very quick to prescribe medicine but after following her advice, I realized it is because she knows what she is doing.

Celys is not a professional, she was my son's doctor and once she had to see him more often to follow up with prescriptions and tried different medications, she decided to stop seeing him because I was concern about the side effects of the medicine and reactions my son was having with certain meds; it was easier for her to said " i don't want to see your son again" how could a medical professional could do that to a child or family that was counting on her for the health of the child.

very disappointed with the poor professionalism of the office staff and the lack of desire for helping patients. The number one priority of a health care provider should be to help and guide their patient to live healthy lives, well this is clearly not the priority of Dr. Cely and her staff.

I have seen Developmental pediatricians in 2 different states. Most developmental docs dont take insurance and evaluations are costly between one thousand to two thousand dollars. I am very grateful that Dr Cely accepts insurance and provides excellent care. She, like nobody else, understood my son's issues and gave us the right direction. Very pleased. Love her staff, they are very kind.

When I originally scheduled the appointment with this office I was told that the testing will be 2 hours. The testing was done in 30 mins! Dr. Cely didn't take the time to get to know my son and yet had the gut to ask me to put him on meds. While in the waiting room I overheard Dr. Cely's staff talk about an autistic child and one of the staff said I wanted to tell the mom to go on birth control because she would definitely have another autistic child. I am in disgust with this office!!!
