Nadell T Andrew, MD

If I could give this giant turkey less than one star, I would. I was unfortunate enough to be assigned to him during a 5250 at Mills Hospital. He spoke with me for less than 20 seconds before he misdiagnosed me with major depression — then threatened to keep me there and feed me anti-​depressants until «I showed improvement». He didn’t listen to me at all. I tried to explain to him that anti-​depressants put me into the hospital in the first place, yet he insisted to put me back onto the same drug by force! By sheer luck I asked for a second opinion — and was correctly diagnosed by a different and obviously more competent psychiatrist as suffering from a mixed episode brought on by anti-​depressants, which you never give to someone with Bipolar disorder! Dr. Nadell has the social graces of a buffoon. He is rude, uncaring and simply doesn’t listen. He also has the bad graces to further frighten a patient who is already in a bad situation and knows it. RUN away from this miscreant — he should not be practicing.

Dr. Nadell should not be practicing– he is unethical and dishonest.
Run as far away as you can and as fast as you can, trust me you will be better off!
I’m just a mother of a daughter who was seen by him and I am so glad she is no longer in his clutches.

Dr. Nadell seems to be a qualified psychiatrist, but he has issues of his own.
I was assigned Dr Nadell as my psychiatrist on an inpatient unit. He placed me on a 5250 because he judged me as a danger to myself, which most of the nurses disagreed with. I contested the 5250 in court and won. After the involuntary hold was dropped, I wanted to sign in voluntarily because I appreciated Dr Nadell’s perspective on medication and psychodynamics, and wanted to work with him a little bit longer before I left. At which point he refused to see me, refused to hand my case over to another psychiatrist, and refused to write me a prescription for a few days worth of the medication he had put me on (until I could see my own outpatient psychiatrist).
He said that if I’m not willing to work with him on an involuntary hold, he does not want to work with me at all.

I have been Dr nadell for six months now, absolute genius, amazing doctor, knows exactly what to prescribe, do not listen to the reviews below because those people are ridiculous, if you would like a very trusty doctor who knows exactly what he’s talking about I recommend him, he is brilliant

The doctor doesn’t take insurance but treats patients at Mills. Then he says you can force the state to make your insurance pay him. BS! Not true. The nurses warned me parents are on the hook to this man for $ 1000’s and they were right. He did help my relative but nearly shut me out and I was managing his care! Some of the help was simply pure luck. He also is arrogant. The worst is his billing person. She’s actually verbally abusive and of no assistance with insurance at all. Her billing is often wrong, keep all records of payment and after I finally paid him off, she tried to tell me there were more bills she had never sent! This was after I spent two years paying him off! I was very assertive and never heard from her again. She also calls patients on speaker phone about bills while people in the waiting room can hear her! Total lack of confidentiality as she uses names out loud!

Dr. Nadell was assigned to my daughter (not chosen by us) during her hospitalization. I was disappointed in his care. When we attempted to discuss issues with him, he refused to justify his decisions directly and switched to irrelevant «small talk.» He was extremely arrogant, and acted offended that we might question, let alone disagree with, his opinion.
Neither he nor his billing person answers their phone; you must leave a message and hope they call you back, which rarely happened. The billing person was particularly rude.
Avoid this doctor.

My fitrst time seeing him, filthy dirty office, he was 30 mins late, and had books open in his office that showed the Cross of Jesus Christ with prfanity written on it. I was totally offended and also a hate crime, hen his so called assistant told him I had other appointments he responded with that’s too bad, I walked out, do not do business with him, more than rude, unetheical, un professional, so called Doctor, Give me a break.
