Caroline P Cella, MD

I had a totally opposite experience from the other reviewer. I saw Dr Cella bc a friend recc her when I was looking for a new Primary care doctor. I have several chronic medical conditions and have been going to Patient First which isn’t the best for someone like me. I was looking for someone who could give me all my prescriptions etc. Dr. Cella spent about an hour with me — she talked to me, took a full history, and I got a physical with lots of extra bloodwork because she wanted to test my vitamin d levels as well as screen me for celiac disease based on what my symptoms are. She was really nice and I walked out with 2 prescriptions for my insomnia and my anxiety disorder, as well as 2 referrals for an allergist and a dermatologist. Her office even made the appt for me for the dermatologist before I left. I’m excited to find a good PCP. The office is located behind JW hospital in the medical office park.

She moved her office (I’ll update once I find out where), but I didn’t keep the info on the location because I really don’t want to see her anymore. She has no sense of doctor-​patient cordiality/​manners. She’s not very friendly at all and seems very detached from and disinterested in her patients. I really did not like the way I was treated. It’s hard to verbalize, but you’ll know exactly what I mean if you choose to see her. That’s exactly how my experience was – people told me about her and I couldn’t understand what they meant, but when I saw her the first time, it all made sense. Her nurses are downright rude to top off her complete lack of emotion or genuineness.
I’ve heard that, despite the negatives I mentioned, she knows her stuff, but she’s not what I’m looking for. She’s a bit too cold for me.
