I have been working with Dr. D since last summer and have tried two heavy regimens of antibiotics only to have the symptoms return shortly after stopping treatment. I notice that so many of you also work with Dr. D for your Lyme. Here's my problem: How do you contact him!!?? I have finally resorted to emailing him directly because they never return calls unless you're making an appointment. (and you always get the machine, never a person) Now he informs me he will not be emailing anymore, so I feel I'll be without medical care now. How do all of you communicate with him (effectively) when symptoms return, etc.? Thanks

I am sorry you are having problems, I too went to Dr D. and he would never return my phone calls he also would not test me for coinfections. How long have you had this disease and what antibiotics where you on. Dr D usually only uses biaxan & Plaquenil and Doxy or Mino. You really need to get tested for coinfections but no other LLMD accepts insurance. If you have any questions just PM me. Good Luck

If your symptoms are coming back quickly when stopping meds [not sure why they were stopped??], then it's VERY likely that you have coinfections.
Cut your losses and find a dr who will treat you as an individual. We are all different.
PS... We don't post drs' names here. Please edit out his name. Thanks!!!

WHAT? This guy is not a LLMD and I have heard nothing but negative feedback from patients who have seen him over the past 10 years. Run away!!!

You can also edit his name in the title... and you need to.
Or maybe it doesn't matter if we follow WC's comments. He's not a real LLMD!

He's the one who "discovered" plaquenil pops cystic form. He published paper.
He has helped some, but not aggressive at all.
I sent Molly27 a PM
