Hello All!

I'm very new to this list. Does anyone have Dr. Holmes telephone

number? If she is not available, can anyone recommend a doctor? Has

anyone any experience with Dr. Neubrander of Edison, NJ? Thanks for

your help.

(225)767-7433. She's pretty busy, but her office will send her protocol to

your doctor (for $25) if he/she asks.

Dr. Amy Holmes phone number is 225-767-7433. She is also with another Dr.,

Dr. Cave.

[Guest guest]

I called the office today and the front desk lady told me that Dr.

Cave is too overwelmed to take Amy's existing patients. Then I

asked if they can refer someone. She gave me the number of the ARI.

I feel so upset and helpless. I like Amy; I think she's dedicated

and is a good doctor. But I don't think it's right to hang/dry our

kids this way. Dr. Cave should take Amy's existing patients and

stop seeing new patients given she's buried; after all, she is Amy's

partner.

Apparently, Amy's decision is " no more practice " from now on.

Dr. Hansen handled chelation for my entire family and we continue to see him

for other things now. My sister and several friends have taken their kids to

Dr. Block and seemed pretty pleased. The only negatives I've heard about her

is that she's expensive (probably about the same price as Dr. Holmes charges)

and that sometimes she gets set on her protocol and doesn't individualize

well or listen to what the parent is saying (my sister had that problem with

her). We used Dr. Ross for a few months and he seemed very knowledgeable but

was pretty aggressive with his protocol -- my son did 21 days on DMSA for his

first two rounds. However, that was done around the time Dr. Hansen said

they were starting to report that the 3on/11 off cycle was safer and better

so he may be recommending shorter cycles now. Of the three, Dr. Hansen would

be the one I'd recommend first since his fees are reasonable and he has good

experience chelating kids plus is open to learning the latest and adjusting

his approach.

> Dallas area

We were seeing him when we first discovered my son's arsenic poisoning. I

would not recommend him for anything but digestive issues and even then would

suggest that you watch what he does very carefully and really check things

out. He made some big mistakes with my son, one of which was very harmful.

> Dr. Lawrence Ginsberg in Houston?

I don't know much about him but have heard his name mentioned both in a

positive and not so positive way. Can't recall the exact details though,

sorry. If you're in Texas, and want to consider him, post a query to the

Autism Treatment list or check their archives. I know they had a

discussion about him fairly recently but don't recall the details.

Thanks Gaylen!

Do you have personal experiences with these two doctors or you know

some of their patients? What about Dr. Constantine Kotsanis in

Dallas area or Dr. Lawrence Ginsberg in Houston?

recently signed an agreement w/ Andy for him to do a file review and

consult her regarding my son Jack.
