My story began when I started having stomach problems and headaches…read more
I don't like to take medications because they usually help one problem, (a little), but at the expense of causing several others. So my friend suggested I try going to a naturopathic physician. I went to see Dr. Gibson. WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE!
First of all, it is crystal clear that her main focus is MONEY!!!! This woman actually charges by the MINUTE. That includes any phone calls as well. Oh, and if you need to talk to her on the phone, you need to make an appointment! I had a terrible reaction to one of her powdered substances, but couldn't talk to her about it for two days because I had to make an appointment. So if you should happen to have a bad reaction, or are dying from any of the many concoctions she sells, you can forget speaking with her BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE AN APPOINTMENT!
Second - Her manner of speaking was slow and convoluted, so she would guarantee a longer visit (more money in her pocket), and every time I left her office, I was more confused then when I arrived.
Third - She would push all of these so called solutions to my ailments that didn't work, in fact, they made me feel worse. They are also very expensive!
Fourth - She put me on a very strict diet that made me loose so much weight, feel horrible and I later found was totally wrong for my condition. Obviously, she misdiagnosed my problem.
Fifth - She was rarely in her office, only worked two days a week and would go on vacation all the time. I had some tests done and because she left for another one of her vacations, I was not able to get the results for over two months.
Sixth -Her office is very cramped, her secretary / receptionist always appear to be moody and unfriendly and she has had so many different ones in a short period of time. Obviously, they are unhappy and keep leaving. I don't blame them.
Seventh - The waiting period in her office is so incredibly long. Again, because she charges by the minute, she takes as long as she can with each patient. Doesn't care how long the next patient is waiting.
Furthermore, any tests that are done (which are also very expensive), are not covered by insurance, nor are any of her visits or the excessive junk concoctions she peddles.
It was also interesting for me to learn that when I went to see her, she kept promoting natural herbs for healing as being better than medications, but a few years later on circulated a petition to all of her patients to allow naturopathic doctors in Connecticut to be able to
prescribe antibiotics. Talk about being a hypocrite!
This was my first experience with a natural medicine doctor, so I didn't really know what to expect and simply accepted her outrageous methods of payment and treatments as normal for this type of doctor. I was very wrong.
No one should be taken advantage of, especially when they are ill and need help. Those who do take advantage of this kind of situation are absolutely despicable in my book.
All I can say is, if you are suffering and feel desperate like I was, DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE BY GOING TO SEE DR. DEBORAH GIBSON, YOU WILL FEEL MUCH WORSE AND MOST LIKELY GO BANKRUPT IN THE PROCESS!
