The Quackjob Department

         Meet the Psychiatry Department at the University at Buffalo.  This group of people has conducted themselves in horrible manners that have caused great harm to many people in Erie County, New York.  Most of the quacks in the Department are associated with Erie County’s mental health services, and are also responsible for a massive number of illegal acts and net-widening schemes to generate funding from government agencies and professional prosperity.  Specifically, there are six specialists at this academic institution who have performed fraudulent services for the public service and legal community that should ascertain criminal charges and license forfeiture in their professional field.  This blog will explain what the “doctors” and other professionals who have done these illegal actions and unethical medical and legal practices are responsible for.

Ana Cervantes

             Ana Cervantes is a licensed psychiatrist who teaches at the University at Buffalo, she advertises consultant work and expert testimony for fees, and works at forensic centers in county jails.  Her illegal actions include catering to attorneys who pay her for “diagnoses” for criminal defendants and creating fraudulent evaluations for the other retained customers.  Moreover, she routinely converses with the other quacks in the Department to solidify her phony evaluations.  In other words, after she makes her illegal diagnoses and evaluations, she will contact another member of the faculty at the Department of Psychiatry at the University at Buffalo and tell them what she “observed” and then have the person who was evaluated participate in more psychiatric testing that is performed by her colleague.  No thought about the biases seem to enter her train of thought.  Often, she will make similar diagnoses and create evaluations with the same suggestions and simply copy and paste them into other files.  Case in point, whatever she is paid to do is what the lawyers, other retained customers, and public service people will get. 

             Her connection with the Erie County Sheriff’s Department and Erie County Medical Center should also be noted.  Almost every person who she evaluates at the local jail (when she worked at the Erie County Holding Center and, currently, at the Niagara County Jail) is prescribed medication after very brief interviews.  Dr. Cervantes is responsible for maintaining her position as the local correctional facility psychiatrist by keeping the pharmaceutical companies and local pharmacies open for business.  Her connectivity with the county hospital – which is staffed by other University at Buffalo employees – furthers her bogus medical practices via the use of referrals and involuntary commitments.  If her patients challenge her findings, she will use her community connections to ensure that any issues are quickly dismissed.  Calling prosecutors and judges is in her repertoire – which is a violation of the due process laws in this country.  At times, she has also had State University of New York legal staff contact public officials and threaten them with political disadvantages so that her “professionalism” and reputation is not tarnished. 

Daniel Antonius

             Daniel Antonius is a clinical psychologist at the University at Buffalo and is Ana Cervantes’s lackey for the above-mentioned medical malpractices.  He is routinely asked to act as a buffer for the biased medical evaluations by Dr. Cervantes and other staff at the Psychiatry Department.  The legal community knows this man too.  Criminal defense attorneys will pay Dr. Antonius for his “expert” testimony and it will usually be done immediately after the testimony of Dr. Cervantes in a court of law.  Dr. Antonius is also participating in net-widening scams at the Erie County Holding Center.  The residential treatment program that he has helped develop receives funding from government sources and has expanded because of his communications with local law enforcement practitioners.  Particularly, he is known to tell police officers to arrest mentally ill persons so that he can evaluate them and put them in the newly created program at the local jail to verify the effectiveness of his programming.  Moreover, he performs these activities so that the local police departments, courts, and social workers can have positive imagery in the community.  The media communications act as a community policing marketing tool in the community – which are obviously not depicting the prejudiced arrests of mentally ill people and haphazard mental health treatment that he is responsible for.

Corey Leidenfrost

             Dr. Leidenfrost is a clinical psychologist who specializes in mandated court evaluations and residential treatment at the Erie County Holding Center, as well as holds a faculty position at the University at Buffalo's Psychiatry Department.  His actions are similar to Dr. Antonius’s unlawful behaviors.  More precisely, he oversees the aforementioned mental health program at the county jail and is responsible for a plethora of medical malpractice engagements and discriminatory law enforcement work toward mentally ill persons.  His desire to grow his program and retain a professional reputation has caused a serious growth of mentally ill persons in the local correctional facility.  Moreover, his work with the courts is also extremely discouraging.  Dr. Leidenfrost disregards privacy laws by sharing and acquiring information to cater to the position of the courts and prosecutors.  Making recommendations for diversion courts and lengthy treatment is constantly associated with Dr. Leidenfrost’s efforts.  Civil complaints have been filed against Dr. Leidenfrost, and when he receives word of these possible legal matters he will threaten the plaintiff and antagonize them so that he can hopefully call them violent, dangerous, and suffering from acute mental illnesses.    

Peter Martin

             Peter Martin is an underling to the above-mentioned doctors – or in this case “doctors.”  Once more, he does whatever he is told to do by his colleagues because of his lack of experience and desire to gain a professional reputation in the community.  His malpractice consists of conversing with his friends and verifying the bogus research and evaluations.  His work paid off and he has acquired his positions because of his ass kissing.  Dr. Martin is also a favorite for the legal community because of his dedication to acquiring money and professional relationships.  Ana Cervantes refers to him as her “little sidekick.”  The two are performing biased medical evaluations for the courts and are being paid or provided with other incentives by the attorneys or other customers who desire a favorable outcome.  Dr. Martin is known to collaborate with law enforcers to verify the uncanny behaviors that he manufactures and condones.  His affiliation with the Erie County Holding Center allows him to reach his twisted goals by mistreating and misdiagnosing inmates.  His close work with Dr. Antonius and Dr. Leidenfrost contributes to the net-widening schemes that are being done in the area.  Dr. Martin prefers short interviews that somehow result in complex diagnoses and behavior identification; he also enjoys helping the local diversion courts retain clientele.

Matthew Ruggieri

             Dr. Ruggieri works at the Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program (CPEP) at the Erie County Medical Center.  When there are not enough patients in the program, Dr. Ruggieri will look into his files and contact law enforcement to find a mentally ill person who is usually homeless and has little family contact.  After the police locate the specified person to the CPEP Unit, Dr. Ruggieri will force the person to take medication – either voluntarily or involuntarily – and undergo a series of medical evaluations to keep himself and the staff at CPEP busy and employed.  His common actions are performing a very brief interview and taking days to conjure a result; which usually leads to more treatment in the CPEP Unit and outpatient services that the hospital and academic institution  contracts with.   Dr. Ruggieri also helps his department out as well.  He will converse with the above-mentioned "doctors" to solidify the fraudulent medical practices.  Privacy violations and illegal medical practices are an everyday occurrence in Dr. Ruggieri’s medical assessments.

Charles Ewing

Dr. Ewing is a special character and another favorite psychologist for attorneys seeking evaluations in their favor.  He is also a licensed attorney.  He will cater to any ambitions from the person who has paid him; Dr. Ewing specializes in performances for prosecutors and other public officials.  He is routinely called upon by public defenders to perform biased evaluations who in turn seek out methods that will provide for the quickest guilty plea and confirmation of the other quacks in the Department of Psychiatry.  When a person challenges his diagnoses, or affiliations with the University at Buffalo, he will violate privacy laws and contact his colleagues to glean the status of what is needed for a patient to ensure that the phony medical practices can be verified.  Dr. Ewing will also cater to the demands of the State University of New York to adhere to its public relations goals.  State University of New York employees will confer with Dr. Ewing so that he provides the expectations of the state educational system without contradicting any of the perverse treatment that has been delivered by its other employees.

The Quackjobs’ Affiliations

Michael Ranney

             Mr. Ranney is the Commissioner of Mental Health in Erie County, New York.  He also serves on the Board of Trustees at various places – including State University of New York institutions.  He acts as liaison between the crooked doctors and public officials.  His agenda includes illegally contacting law enforcers, judges, prosecutors, doctors, and administrative staff at academic institutions to comprehend what their goals are and how he can help guide the desired path for these professionals.  Mr. Ranney hides behind closed doors and works the phones and emails without the consent of the persons being evaluated.  His illicit conference calls have been noticed, however his ties with public officials and the academic institutions allow him to violate privacy laws without any consequences.  When civil lawsuits are filed, he turns to his political friends to squash any of the legal actions and in turn threatens the plaintiffs with horrible outcomes that his public service buddies can ascertain.

Mark Farrell

             Mark Farrell is a former judge in the Town of Amherst.  His drug court was infamously known for putting low-level offenders into his program and contracting with agencies that in turn retained the clients for as long as possible to acquire finances for desired reputations and occupational reasons.  Mr. Farrell also has strong ties with the University at Buffalo, and routinely uses the connections to quell any problems that he faces regarding his years of terrible scam work in Amherst, New York.  When people challenge his unlawful practices, he uses the above-mentioned medical specialists to suggest that they have mental disorders that make the claims a manifestation of their minds.  Mr. Farrell was known for taking many bribes and kickbacks from mental health organizations and high-priced attorneys during his tenure in the Amherst Town Court. 

Mark Manna

             Mark Manna is a former Amherst Town Board member who was ousted by his political party for inappropriate behaviors.  Mr. Manna is also a representative for a retail union that is known for treating their employees horribly and using underground criminal acts to remove the dissidents who attempt to make the workplace better for themselves and their coworkers.  His community connections include other public officials and all the above-mentioned quacks.  When complaints were filed against him during his 2013 campaign for Amherst Town Supervisor, he not only called citizens and threatened them with retaliation, but also went as far as finding out their places of business, employment, educational endeavors, and personal backgrounds to use it against the persons who administered the complaints that were lodged against him.  Since his loss in 2013, Mr. Manna has been on an illegal and secretive campaign to attempt to recreate his public image with the assistance from the quacks. 

Michael Deal

             Michael Deal is an attorney in Erie County who deliberately misrepresents his clients because of his desire to maintain clout in the legal community.  When prosecutors learn of Mr. Deal’s representation they quickly start the negotiations about how much time they want the defendant to serve.  Mr. Deal will engage in “haggling 101” discussions with his client.  In other words, he will tell his clients that the prosecutor wants a specific amount of time and guilty plea and that he bargained for a lower and less severe outcome with success; this “positive outcome” that he construes is the negotiated result that the prosecutor wanted in the first place.  Which, in turn, makes him appear to be performing satisfactory criminal defense tactics.  Mr. Deal also uses the quacks at the Department of Psychiatry at the University at Buffalo to his benefit.  Paying bribes or providing other incentives is in his professional agenda. 

Robert Russell

             Robert Russell is a jurist in the Buffalo City Court who operates many of the diversion programs; which includes Mental Health Court.  Judge Russell works closely with the quacks at the University at Buffalo and performs similar net-widening schemes for his diversion courts.  Routinely seeking out poor mentally ill defendants and putting them in his courts for lengthy durations is his main practice.  He will use his relationships with the mental health professionals and county jail to ensure that the defendants are not only implemented into his courts, but also forced to participate in mandated treatment at an organization of his and the quacks’ choice.  These actions contribute to the biased evaluations that are created, retention of professional reputations that are wanted, and desired financial incentives. 

Joan McCool

             Joan McCool is a psychologist within the State University of New York system.  She is responsible for contacting administrators and legal staff within the academic institutions throughout New York.  Furthermore, her job details include violating privacy laws and contacting people who work within the educational system, and other people who work in the community, to validate the biased evaluations that are created and to repress any negative attention that may come about because of the unlawful evaluations.  Dr. McCool is known to contact the CPEP Unit and county jails to make sure that defendants and mentally ill persons are not challenging any of the allegations or “findings” in the evaluations that are conducted by the previously mentioned quacks.  She will also contact local law enforcement and non-profit organizations to make house calls so that her and her friends’ configurations appear to be more credible. 

Federal Public Defender's Office

             The federal public defenders in Erie County, New York always utilizes the Quackjob Department at the University at Buffalo when they need an evaluation in their favor.  The attorneys in this office will acquire funds to pay the fees for the mental health professionals from this institution, and if a client attempts to flex their due process rights the public defenders will threaten their client with long periods of incarceration or improper defense techniques.  Again, the biased evaluations are confirmed through second-opinions from other staff members at this institution and when people challenge the prejudices they are threatened with legal action that is unfavorable to them. 

Legal Aid Bureau of Buffalo, New York

             The Legal Aid Bureau of Buffalo, New York is part of the quackery as well.  This group of attorneys routinely call upon the Quackjob Department for diagnoses and evaluations that would benefit them, the court, and the prosecutors.  Recommendations are made by the phony medical specialists and in turn produce the framework for defendants using excuses for entry into diversion courts or other possible criminal sanctions.  Additionally, the Legal Aid Bureau rarely seeks any medical practitioners who are not affiliated with the Quackjob Department.  Most of their references cater to the uncanny actions of the parties that have been mentioned.   This group performs similar actions that the federal public defenders engage in as well.  Meaning that when a client does not endorse their biased decisions, they will be threatened with incarceration and other negative discourses.

Seth Gilbertson

             Seth Gilbertson is one of the aforementioned attorneys for the State University of New York who will illegally contact the mental health practitioners, judges, and other law enforcement personnel to attempt to sway their decisions so that the biased evaluations and illicit activities by the above-mentioned parties are not exposed.  He routinely violates due process laws to justify the crappy actions by the Quackjob Department and other employees within the legal community and public colleges and universities.  When asked about his illegal contacts, Mr. Gilbertson will either say “no comment” or completely evade any of the questions about his unlawful behaviors.  He also uses his resources to provoke people who challenge any of the previously described activities so that they act in a manner that would confirm the illegal diagnoses and evaluations by the above-mentioned quacks.  Mr. Gilbertson is not only a horrible person, but also a corrupt attorney who participates in criminal activity to ensure victory for himself and his colleagues.  He is also responsible for doing whatever it takes to eliminate lawsuits that are made against the State University of New York or medical professionals who are associated with his organization.   

Crisis Services in Erie County, New York

             This entity serves as an outreach agency for the quacks and their associations in the local community.  When evaluations are not going in the direction that the medical practitioners want, they resort to utilizing this service to validate their malpractice.  Fraudulent claims will be made to Crisis Services who, in turn, will unexpectedly show up at an individual's residence to document that some type of mental episode occurred.  Many of these visits are initiated by the personnel who is seeking to confirm their phony medical services, and many times they contact the local police departments before and after the uninvited intrusions to further back up the false claims of mental illnesses.  There is no oversight for these meetings and therefore the “doctors” and other parties can makeup whatever they want in incident and status reports.  A lot of the staff at Crisis Services is also connected with the State University of New York system; privacy violations and phony doctoring is certainly encompassed within these at-home visits by Crisis Services.

Timothy Howard

             Timothy Howard is the Sheriff in Erie County, New York and uses the Quackjob Department to his advantage for two purposes; which are 1.)  He has created a mental health system in response to the federal inquiries about the many suicides and other irregular behaviors that have occurred under his supervision at the Erie County Holding Center, and 2.)  He was caught using the Stingray device illegally in the area and thus uses the "doctors" to conjure up false diagnoses to hinder any possible questioning about his unconstitutional practices from people who know what the truth is about his unlawful surveillance procedures.  Most of the illegal diagnoses are geared towards people who cannot afford high-priced attorneys or take advantage of other resources that would present Mr. Howard’s illicit activities.  He targets ordinary citizens so that negative attention is not likely to come his way.  The list of people who this man goes after includes citizens who did not support him during any of his reelection campaigns, and other critical citizens who have organized to remove him from public office.
