Dr. Clifford Howard Siegel, MD

This man harms children. Best avoided.

During the 90's Dr. Clifford H Siegel had no qualms giving out prescriptions for dangerous substances not approved for use in young children. He ruined the lives of the families that placed their trust in him.

Risperdal is known to cause severe weight gain and the development of breasts in children. Side effects often do not go away after the drug is prescribed. This did not stop the doctor from prescribing it to children in the 90's as a first choice. He misdiagnosed and failed the families he was meant to help. He certainly helped Johnson and Johnson's bottom line it would seem.

Our family has been with Dr. Siegel for ten years. He has always treated us with utmost respect and he truly cares about his patients. Dr. Siegel is punctual and he promptly returns phone calls. He does not see patients for medication only. You must also see him for therapy. He listens to parents and will approach medication as conservatively or as aggressively as what fits the family.

He seems to close his eyes alot but is still listening.
