I am a parent of a 12 year boy who has a learning disability with behavior problems. I saw an ad in the Queens Parent Guide Magazine about 5 months ago that was an eye opener. Help for children with all sorts of problems ranging from oppositional and defiant behavior behavioral problems, school problems to A.D.D.,A.D.H.D. to Autism and other spectrum disorders associated with Autism. I was a bit skeptical but called the number from the full page ad. I spoke intially to Dr. Jeffrey Felixbrod, a clinical director and he told me he had 30 years experience as a behavioral psychologist. He said that no problem was impossible regarding my son. We spoke at lenght and I made sure he had a clear picture of my son. He told me that he wanted my whole family to come to his office in Manhasset Hills to have a consultation. He even included my twin sister because she initially called him. My son did not accompany us. Dr. Felixbrod introduced himself and his partner Chris Garofalo. We discussed things more in depth and he said he would be able to make miracles happen for my son. We were all sold. So Chris was hired to observe my son, go to his school and then come to my home. Well after many weeks of therapy my husband and I had concerns about what we weren't seeing. The improvement. We spoke to Chris and even Dr. F. but they kept saying it takes more time. Money was also a big problem with them. It seemed they were more occupied with the thought if we could not pay anymore and maybe we should stop therapy. My husband and I assured them that was not a problem for us although very costly. 16 or 17 weeks later and cost is $300.00 a session. In mid July Chris decided without any verbal dealing with myself to drop my son. No reason. He said that he felt we did not want him anymore. Totally untrue. When I called him to discuss it, I was told that he put an other child in my son's slot. No remorse, nothing. I called Dr. Felixbrod's office and he told me that he would call me back in a few days. I got no call back. I am writing this complaint because I don't want any other parents to be taken in by this liar and money grubbing doctor. He should be held accountable for giving false hope to innocent children and their families. I hope this does not happen to anyone else. I hope he gets his just rewards.
