I am writing this review because I am so thankful for Dr Radoff and the staff at Alternative Medical. Dr Radoff initially began treating our teenage son in 2012, and now provides healthcare for our entire family. I consider myself fairly educated on biomedical and/or alternative medical treatments and with the endless intricacies of treating Autism/ADHD/Asthma/Allergies and so on. There are more modalities available than one can count. To top that off, each and every individual will need a unique set of tools to treat their particular condition. There is no «one size fits all» cure for any these conditions. I completely understand how costly it can be to pay out of pocket while trying one after another until something works. But I can say that with the help and guidance from Dr Radoff we were able to rationally pick and choose our treatments, and thereby saving an incredible amount of time, money and most of all LIFE. Dr Radoff is able to utilize his expertise and experience, the expertise of his impressive network of colleagues, all while remaining open and understanding the importance of parental intuition. With intensive therapies over the prior 2 – 3 years our teen has changed from severely low functioning autistic(physically, emotionally, mentally low functioning), to a well adjusted young man. His path has changed from needing 24 hour supervision and no real opportunities for an independent life, to being reenrolled in high school, having his first intern job, and will possibly drive and live independently someday. It is a long and difficult journey with no promises for the outcome. But without a doubt worth every second and every dollar, in my opinion. We had consulted with numerous other doctors and been so incredibly disappointed with their lack of knowledge, lack of any desire to obtain knowledge, and overall pessimistic attitude toward the possibilities. Most disappointing were doctors from within the medical insurance community. It is not cost effective for them to treat these children. We knew there was so much that could be done, but needed a medical professional to help guide us through the healing. We are forever indebted to Dr Radoff. Our son has his life back, with more and more potential everyday. The best words of advise I can offer are, stay open minded, educate yourself, then continue to educate yourself, look for the little improvements because they add up over time, trust your parental intuition and NEVERGIVEUP. Great book to read for parents of Autistics is «Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders».

I am sorry that the people below me had a bad experience with Dr. Radoff but I on the other hand had a life changing experience! I visited with him 2 weeks ago for insomnia, super low energy and constipation. Everything in my body was off. He gave me some pellets to put under my tongue and a couple exercises to help better my situation. In just two weeks I have been able to sleep at least 5 hours a night, I’m not as tired and I am pooping regularly!!! Very happy that my path crossed with his and he was highly recommended. Two thumbs up

What a joke! My wife went to see him for a new patient wellness exam and he sent blood work to the labs stating abnormal liver, and thyroid issues without having any knowledge of my wife’s medical profile. He just did it to classify her as a sick visit instead of a wellness exam to collect more fees. He also told me I have cancer and was in bad shape when I all I had was two basil cell moles that need to be removed. Needless to say, My wife and I changed doctors.

My wife and I saw Dr Radoff for a routine physical and were billed different co-pays each time. We found his bedside manner very rough and his staff inexperience. His office was messy and unprofessional. He overfilled my insurance company and was looking for procedures to bill for. I would not even give him one star.

Dr. Radoff is a quack at best and pushes non proven techniques and snake oil medications in the name of homeopathy. He used a Zyto scan on me that is considered fake science and charged me $ 400/-for it. Then came the sweet water in 3 vials that did not make any sense at all to me. I got out of his ‘treatment’ $ 750/-poorer by the experience.

Great doctor. MD and a homeopath which is a great combination. Highly recommend. He has a big heart and is good with all ages. He gets most of his patients from word of mouth which I also like because his patients love him. I’m one of them and love him too!
