I don't leave reviews often, particularly about such important choices as finding a mental health professional to help you. Therefore, I want to highlight that this experience is mine and mine alone. I do want to share it, however. Jeffrey Lucero was extremely difficult to work with. His administrative policies were constantly shifting, and I wasn't always informed until after something fell out of line with a new policy. Jeffrey was combative, condescending and defensive if I asked for clarification or if I was legitimately confused about something new I had done correctly. He disliked my local pharmacy enough to refuse to work with them on a really subjective misunderstanding. Ultimately, as the patient, I felt like it was much more his fault than anyone else's. He is simply very hard to work with in these capacities.
The most important thing worth noting is how he convinced me to go in a stimulant despite me being incredibly clear that I'm an addict who is currently sober. He convinced me that this stimulant works differently than the one he was prescribing. It wasn't. I took the entire prescription in two weeks, leading to erratic professional behavior. By no means was me losing my job Jeff's fault; as someone I trusted with my fragile mental care, though, his choice was extremely inappropriate and damaging. I am still working with highly competent mental health specialists to balance the meds he rarely checked in about (mg-wise).
I'm writing this just as a precaution, particularly to those who are on precarious mental ground or who are fighting every day for sobriety.
If you are in Massachusetts, there are amazing mental health providers who don't cause such frustration or neglect.
