This practice is totally out-of-date when it comes to medicine. My mother was in an area of Michigan with endemic Lyme Disease and experienced a bullseye rash, followed by an out-of-season summer flu. Heather, the "physician's assistant" at this office should not be allowed to practice medicine. She denied my mother basic testing for Lyme Disease. Wouldn't even run a standard test. Her rationale? "I'm sorry, we just don't have Lyme Disease in Michigan" she tells my mother, now humiliated.
WAKE UP, DR. VARTABEDIAN. Here is the Lyme Disease Risk map released by the Michigan Health and Human Services Department for 2016.

Lyme is EVERYWHERE in Michigan. For the sake of your patients, please. Wake up, Wake up, Wake up. Your ignorance is contributing to turning a treatable illness into a lifetime of suffering for your patients.
WAKE UP. read more
