Hi Ca,

i almost went to dr biharli a few years ago but one of my mds was

concerned that he had a large practive of hiv patients and was worried

that i would have increased suscpetablity of picking up something in his

wairing room so i didnt see him ... i thanx you for your post.. he didnt

cover my insurance so i am not sure if i can afford him now but remmeber he

was very nice and generous with his time prior to my setting up an

appointnment on the phone..

He has HIV patients and MS patients and cancer patients. You can't catch

aids from sitting in a waiting room. If I ever have to wait, there is only one

other person in the waiting room there, besides me. He raised his rates

recently, but he isn't in it for the money, just to help people. If he knows you

and

your situation, he adjusts his rates if he has to. The money he makes he puts

towards research and helping others.He is trying to find a way to send

naltraxone to Africa, at little cost, to stop the aids epidemic. IT's worth it

to pay

whatever you have to for the first visit. I only see him once a year, and he

doesn't charge me for the phone consults any more. If he knows you, he wants

to help, as well as learn from you so he can help others. He is a very special

person. He's quite old by the way, but sharp as a tack. The only MD I ever

met who knows more than I do. We all worry about him finding a successor should

something happen to him. He has made a lot of people well and functional, and

we are always on his back to find a successor. He says that he can't find

anyone who cares enough to take care of his patients the way he does, by caring

and listening.
