The man is a genius, such a rare find. Due to my medical issues i had –and have-to go through a serious battle with local endocrinology over the past few years, until lack of treatment and even basic respect from their part led me to become completely disabled. I am talking can barely take care of daily functions, and not«can’t have a job“disabled. Let’s put it this way: unless you have a clear-cut, non-complicated, by-the-book disorder, it’s not a problem to find a great doctor. If you have something like I was blessed with, radiation-induced, untreatable horrifying drug-resistant thyroid shit, good luck getting anyone to listen to you. This man is a Vietnam war vet, a traditionally trained M.D. with training in holistic(no, its not a cuss word made up by hippies-it means nutrition, bio-identical hormone therapies, general disease prevention and an open mind fused together in one skillful approach). He’s been around the world acquiring medical and spiritual knowledge alike and is unlike some other independent practitioners around town bases his knowledge on advances in modern science, and does a lot of research in order to successfully combine standard and alternative(hate this word as well because it usually means«new medical research your closed-minded specialist forgot to read») treatments. He would listen to you and pay attention, it actually seems important to him what you feel and think regarding your condition. He does not misdiagnose you on the spot so he can get rid of you, and will take many paths to figure out how to help, as old-fashioned family doctors like my grandmother did. I only pray now that I could be treated, and we could figure out a way, we’ve kinda lost hope. Even if not, i would be proud to have known him. Breath of fresh air in the sea of self-important, egotistical, close-minded pricks who are abundant in this field of study today. He reminds me of my Grandfather– a decorated war vet as well, with a sharp, inquisitive mind, good sense of humor and a bit of healthy skepticism and no-bullshit attitude thrown into the mix. Great person, great doctor. Seeing him is not cheap, but its well worth it because our life is not a rehearsal no matter what Jehovah’s witnesses tell ya :-), this health is only one we’ve got.
