Wish this could be positive. We had very high hopes when going to Dr. Hyman's clinic. We honestly…read morefelt so blessed to discover they were located within the same state as us. However, our experience has ended on a negative note, after working with the clinic for seven months. The only way to summarize all our complaints into one is to say that the care my daughter received was not patient centered. The care is clinic centered. There's a lot of gatekeeping as far as access to the professionals. It takes days to weeks to get responses in the portal, which the clinic prefers you use as your primary means to communicate with the team. I will provide three more examples of how this clinic put what they wanted ahead of what my daughter needed. The first example was when the team initially decided that my daughter's issue was an eating disorder, not a medical issue. Her assigned doctor and team had decided this before even waiting for her lab results. And when they decided this, they had someone we had never spoken to before, Kelly, call us over the phone and tell us their opinion while my daughter )was sitting with me. they also said they need to pause her care because of this .It was not handled with any kind of care or compassion. however, when the lab results came back and showed that she was actually suffering from a medical condition, our main doctor said he understood why "someone" would've diagnosed her with an eating disorder even though she doesn't have one. however, that "Someone" was him. I also found after a discussion with Kelly that she had been led to believe before talking to us about the eating disorder that we had already been approached about it by the nutritionist and doctor. This was 100% untrue. When she contacted us to talk to us about it was the very first time either of us had heard about it. The second thing that happened that stands out, was when my daughter's doctor accused her of lying about what she was eating. When I actually confronted him on the phone about accusing her of lying, he then backpedal and called it "food amnesia". It's not that I don't believe food amnesia exists, but that's not what was happening here. My daughter lives with me, goes to school in our house, doesn't really go out socially because of her illness, and I'm telling you right now as someone who has a long history of battling these illnesses and who also has OCD, she does not lie about what she eats. And after he accused her of that, our trust in him pretty much went out the window. In the same conversation when I told him I wanted to talk more about the role her mental health was playing. he said he didn't want to. So I guess that means the doctor gets to only discuss his own agenda. The final thing that happened, was when we requested the Center to assign us a new doctor, because my daughter no longer trusted her current one. There was a lot of back-and-forth meetings and discussions and at the end of them all they made us stick with the same doctor. And as a social worker, as someone who works daily to advocate for my patients, I feel very strongly that the clinic did this for their own benefit and not for my daughters. if I had found out that any of my patients had a doctor that accused them of lying, I would've reported that Dr and denied him from providing future care for my patient. Not only did he insult her, but he didn't even reach out after our complaint to apologize. You know this was a 17 year old girl they were dealing with, not a 50-year-old woman. I could bite my tongue if I had to and try to move forward with trust, but I don't expect my daughter who's been through four years of these accusations to endure that. Anyone who's been suffering from her kind of conditions knows that you go through lots of traditional doctors before you find out functional medicine is the only hope. Those traditional doctors look at you and tell you there's nothing wrong. They make you doubt yourself enough. We didn't need the functional medicine doctor doing the same. I believe the only positive this place provided was that it ran a slew of tests that no other doctor prior had done. Those tests were helpful in getting us a diagnosis and providing us with some direction on next steps. I will also say that the dietitian, although she didn't really succeed in helping my daughter, at least tried and had a very good heart and was patient with all my daughter's questions and concerns. Meanwhile the doctor eventually told my daughter she just had to live with the situation and she would eventually grow out of it. "It's not gonna kill you." My daughter has done a ton and tons of research on her own and we know that's not true. We are now moving on and trying to find a different clinic that can truly help her. And we did spend a fortune getting care here, but we knew we would ahead of time. We just hoped that price tag would've produced better results.

Last year, my husband was hospitalized for severe mental confusion. Hospital neurologist was…read morecertain this was a symptom of tick-borne illness and placed him on antibiotics. He showed some improvement, but others on his care team disagreed about the cause of his symptoms, and he was discharged without further antibiotic care. Two weeks later, he had to be re-hospitalized because the confusion came back. When I asked for them to resume the antibiotic care, I was met with huge resistance, but our neurologist put us in touch with the Stram Center and told us to follow up there. From that point on, everything changed. I first spoke with Nadine, who listened carefully, expedited my appointment with Dr. Stram and guided me through the intake process. For the first time in a month, I felt heard, cared for and hopeful. We saw Dr. Stram in May 2025 and what can I say? He spent hours talking to us about my husband's health background and symptoms, and, after careful evaluation and testing, identified that my husband had contracted multiple tickborne infections. He developed a thoughtful, holistic care plan that was tailored to my husband's individual needs and included input and supervision from multiple, interdisciplinary clinicians. We travelled to Albany for 6 weeks of 5-day/week treatment. It wasn't easy and it was expensive (health insurance covered very little). But was it worth it? Absolutely! Dr. Stram, Nadine and the entire Stram Team (from the front desk to the nurses and technicians) were always approachable and present, answering our (many) questions with patience, respect, transparency and professionalism. My husband has recovered his mental functioning and his overall health has greatly improved. My gratitude for the Stram Center team is boundless and I'd recommend them without reservation to anyone who is seeking help with complex medical questions and has struggled with the mainstream medical system. My only regrets are that insurance companies don't want to recognize wholistic health practices (so many people can't access this valuable care), and, that it took me so long to write this review.

As a postscript to this review: She read my review and apparently was not pleased. So, out of alleged concern for my welfare, she chose to call the Albany County Sheriffs office. I had four police cars in my driveway and three deputies surrounding me, in a very intimidating manner, asking me questions. She did not call me with her concerns. She did not call the Mobile Crisis Center. She called the SHERIFF. Now everyone in my neighborhood knows that I have mental health issues. Keep in mind that have never met this woman. She is not my doctor. I merely scheduled an appointment and filled out her forms. I can certainly say this woman has changed my life ... and made it much worse.
