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.
