Anyone have any experience, good or bad, with this LLMD?

Very kind hearted man, but very expensive. Lots of unusual testing and lots of supplements (that they sell there) He did help me feel better, but I could not afford to go there anymore...and was also quite a drive. But a very, very nice man and easy to talk to.

Make sure you have $1000.00 or more for first visit. Insurance hardly reimbursed at all.

i thought his first visit is 650 not a thousand?
my pcp is in the same practice as the b brothers. he is lyme literate but i see an llmd near rhinebeck as my main treating doc.
but the practice in rhinebeck is top notch.

I also see a doc in that practice as my primary care physician. They brought me around on orals but I relapsed badly. Now I see Dr. C in Westchester for lyme specifically and they work together.
Isn't that nice, when two doctors Agree on a treatment plan?

I have been seeing this doctor for 9 months. Although they do sell
supplements, he has NEVER pushed anything on me. Nor has he
pushed any tests, other than blood work on me. I find him very
thorough. The good news is I am making progress.
Initial visit is 650. Because i travel quite a distance, he is willing
to alternate phone visits with office visits.
If you have any questions, you may private message me.

i wanted to add, like catskillmamala, my pcp (the same one) also works with my lyme-treating llmd...dr h in nearby hyde park. this same doc in the rhinebeck practice used to work in dr h's practice.
very high quality health center.

I have used this Dr in Albany NY. You are right the tests are very expensive.
The communications or the lack of it has me a whits end.
The office help for this Dr in Rhinebeck will not or can not answer any questions. They are very abrupt.
I am repeatedly forwarded to another office only to have to leave a message.
It may take a day or two before they return your call. I have had to make many phone calls. Please see my remarks under Doctor Review.
