I scheduled an appt with an LLMD today. He is supposed to be one of the best in the world. He is on the advisory for ILADS and is cited in many books. He studied under Dr. B. He is in NY. Staff was knowledgeable, courteous and upfront about the fees, which are completely astronomical for someone like me. Before I spend almost a month's rent, I would really like to get some feedback on this Dr. If anyone might venture to guess who this Dr. is, and has gone to him or knows of him, could you please send me an IM? Trying my hardest to make it obvious, but I guess thats a no no? Anyway an IM regarding this very reputable and expensive Dr. would be awesome and very much appreciated. - Sorry for the rambling here my brain has gone all haywire tonight

You can say the first initial of his last name! Is it Dr. M, I'm assuming?
Oh, and many others are MORE expensive! They do spend a long time with patients. I know, hard to swallow anyway.

He is a good doctor and his PA J is top notch, they both indeed did study under Dr. Burrascano. Stick with them they will get you well.

Is it Dr. M......?
This is where I go. My 1st appt was with him but now I see the nurse practitioner there. She is a lot more affordable and she is very kind and knowledgeable. If she is not sure about something, she asks Dr. M and he will give her advice on my case.

Yes. I think the Harry Potter invisibility cloak would be the best.

I made an apt with him, they took all info over phone and sent me a package. Yes, indeed VERY Costly....after reviewing the package that itemized costs, I was disgusted that a dr. has a price tag on Everything. I cancelled! I understand first consult $$, but follow ups even with the PA is more than a car payment. Phone consults are charged by the Minute. I have found a llmd that I'm happy with at this time and doesn't break the bank and doesn't seem to be about $$. Let me know how you do, I know that finding a good llmd sometimes difficult.
