Question from Tickcheckguy!! Dr. S in CA

Is this Pacific Frontier Medical? If that is it, I have one person I email with that is going there. She has only had 2 appts and so far is liking it.

She does not see Dr. S, but is seeing Dr. H.

Trav-I'm pretty sure he's referring to the female ND at Pacific Frontier Medical. Dr J S. She has an excellent reputation. I started at that practice but left when my ND left to go out on his own. It's my understanding that there is a wait for a first appt with her. In the same building-literally next door is Dr R P. He also has a very good reputation. My daughter has a friend who is seeing him and is very happy there.

No one actually see's Dr H but maybe every 4th or 5th appt. He has Lyme and only works about 2 days a week. It's actually because of his Lyme as a child that his father created Igenex. There is also a physicians asst that patients see. She's really knowledgeable but in my opinion way too clinical.

Tickcheckguy is welcome to email me. If he's considering Redwood City then he's somewhere near me. There are a lot of good LLMD/ND in our area. He has options.

Peteza-Double check with your friend that she's actually had her appt's with Dr H both times.

I'm not doubting you it's just that it's one of the first things that they make clear when you call and make your first appt is that you will only see Dr H every 5th appt or so. There is another practice in our area that runs exactly the same way. People that go to these practices when asked which LLMD they are seeing will say the name of the practice and Pacific Frontier Medical is much more commonly known as Dr H's

It's possible that it's changed because of the increase in demand but I was told very recently about his short work week.

I take her at her word and I will not question her about trivial stuff that really doesn't matter to me. She is trying to be a nurse working 12 hour shifts 3 days a week and having lyme for years. And she lives 4 hours from his office. They, (regular doctors) told her she had MS for years and was on all kinds of weird drugs. I am not going to question her. That just isn't my way.

I believe her. I have no idea when her appointments were. I just love and care about her.

TCG,

Glad you got back on. I hope you are sleeping and feeling better.

Please keep us posted with how your appointment goes.

Fascinating that the doctor's father started IgeneX.
