Just a F.Y.I for anyone thinking about going to see him I just did and it was a waste of $30 in Gas and four hours of driving and an hour in the waiting room. He will only treat you based on a positive blood test and not the patients symptoms and history of tick bite like recommended, and instead of sending blood to IGENEX of CA the top Lyme lab in the states he uses a no name lab in Jersey. Also I herd from another patient that you must return to his office everyday for IV treatment which can be a problem for those of us that do not live in Philly.

I have seen this doctor and am 1 of many patients that are happy we did. That no name lab you refer to is MDL. It participates with most insurances, so my labs weere covered. I received no bills and did not have to pay anything up front and try to recoup later. As far as treaments, I know that some inusrances mandate that the patient come to the office each day. Mine did not, and I was able to infuse at home 5 out of 7 days (I did need to go to the office twice a week for dressing changes and labs).
I also have sent friends to him that he told did not have lyme and guess what they did not have lyme, they had other medical problems that if they had seen a different LLMD the condition porbably would not have been found.
