COLD! Uncaring. Doesn’t let you ask questions - will cut you off if you try to ask one. Appointments last less than two minutes. Do what he wants or he will send you somewhere else. I have had more productive conversations with my houseplants!

He doesn't care about anyone but him self. He only wants to write scripts and send you on your way. With 40 years under his belt he has sexual harassment charges and horrible reviews beside my self. He's cold, standoffish, and no caring about what I tell him and how the medications are not working. He will not listen so don't bother with him.

I've been in Dr. Dancel's care for Major Depressive Disorder ,ADD and anxiety for a few years now. I have never felt any type of empathy, sincerity or even that he cared about my depression issues. He's not very verbal nor informative, would not recommend him at all, if you are serious about your treatment and getting better.

Dr. Dancel deliberately lied to my company in order to deny me my disability payments.
