Dr. Jeffrey Geller, MD

They were joined several months ago by Nurse Practitioner, Danielle Sasso, APN-C. Danielle has extensive experience in the fields of addiction medicine, Emergency Room and Neuro ICU. Their philosophy is "Rehab With Dignity". They know that there is a terrible stigma associated with addiction. They treat their patients in a quiet, private setting.
