Dr. David Ansel, MD

Our experience with Dr. Ansel has not been great. From the first visit, the tone that he speaks to parents is VERY condescending. We have had both in person and video appointments and his tone is consistent. We ask questions because we want to know more about what he's looking for or his reasoning for actions but he makes you feel even worse, so it makes us not want to ask anymore. I realize he has a lot of experience in the field, which one would hope he would read these less than satisfactory reviews and turn them around. I would not recommend him to others parents

Dr. Ansel is an outstanding physician who gave us insight and clarity on the best way to move forward with treatments for our son, who has been diagnosed with with ADHD and ASD. Dr. Ansel spent a great deal of time with us and immediately grasped our son's strengths and challenges. We found Dr. Ansel after much research and having seen several previous (mostly great) specialists for autism. Dr. Ansel more than lived up to his reputation as a leader in the field, and our son has flourished academically and socially.

Dr Ansel was requested to give a second opinion regarding our complex little guy ( speech delay, motor delay, social delay). Dr. Ansel walked into our appointment announced that he would not be evaluating our guy, but would instead treat this as a counseling appointment for me - mom. After 45 minutes of condescending lectures and comments that made it clear that he had no even glanced at our kiddos file, I left in tears. I will be writing a formal letter of complaint.

I was extremely disappointed in our evaluation with Dr Ansel. He refused to review any of our documents. He was glib. After coming up with a diagnosis refused to entertain any other thoughts. I was devastated as I waited 8 months for our son to see him. At our return apt he began to look at his watch after 10 minutes.
