Hi all:

Has anyone participated in Columbia University's "Second Opinions" evaluation service?

Was it helpful, and roughly how much did it cost?

My primary care doctor (not my LLMD) wants me to get a second opinion either by them or by Dr. H in NY. I suspect she doesn't believe I have Lyme and just doesn't know what to do with me.

Thanks!

The people I know who went to Columbia were not helped particularly. Plus, it's fabulously expensive, and no treatment.

You'd be better of at H's. Or another LLMD.

I agree.

That's the worst part.. no treatment.
