I came to Dr. Patel a little over a year ago because of chronic Lyme- my doctor was useless and the infectious disease doctor was as well. I had bad memory issues, extreme exhaustion and relentless pain and depression. I can honestly say I don't think I would be here without her help. The herxing part was AWFUL, but knowing it was the die off of the bacteria helped me through. I am now on a very restricted diet that is super important with Lyme, still working on keeping it under control with antibiotics and supplements and I am able to work full time and have good days again. I have another family member that has chronic lyme who saw how well I was doing with her, that he started treatments as well and his turnaround was FAST! the maintenance is an on going thing, tweaking what does and doesn't work, depending on symptoms. I have met a LOT of people there who are also being treated for lyme and co infections as well as mold issues, etc. who all say the same thing- no one else could help them- but she can and is making quality of life much better than any other doctor they saw. Like ANY *good* doctor who deals with Lyme, it is not cheap- they don't take insurance simply because chronic Lyme is still not recognized by insurance companies, but having your life back IS worth it. read more
