Dr. Mark Speight practices here. He is an MD, but his office is integrative, therefore he does not accept insurance. His receptionist stated his fee is $435 per hour. I want to repeat this to make sure no one believes I made a typing error, his fee is $435 per hour and they charge by the hour. All appointments are book for 1.5 hours each appointment, 2 hours for specific illnesses (like Lyme and other more complicated issues). Factor in lab tests (which will run thousands of dollars - I would estimate $2-4,000).
One of my BS degree's is in Nutrition and I am a huge believer in integrative medicine. Even with my background, I am terribly ill each day and I have spent thousands with MD's with non-integrative approach, seeing specialist after specialist and acquiring more debt as time goes on. I'm only 29 and for 6 years my life has been spent completely alone, because when you are sick, you lose people. I keep going and I've tried to research integrative doctors to help me find the real reason I have these autoimmune diseases (EBV, Lyme, etc). But, I must say how depressing and disappointing it is to see people with the power of integrative medicine to charge at the rates that some do, like this doctor. You can't be lower or even middle class to afford that rate, you'd have to be upper class America only. Very sad to see people should be healers, who just want money. read more
