Dr. Micheal Gray in Benson, AZ ?

[Guest guest]

Has anyone been to the subject doctor? He supposedly is a mold expert,

but from what I've found out, he costs $3200 cash and that doesn't

include the lab work, which insurance might cover at least part of.

Plus, his evaluation/testing takes 2 days so you have to stay in a

nearby hotel overnight.

Any patients who have been through his protocol? Are you better? Does

he get it?

Thanks,

I have been through Dr. Gray's testing and can share the following: I believe

he is an " expert " in the toxic mold area; however, there are problems and issues

within his office and staff that lead me to suggest looking at a different

doctor instead. It took an act of Congress to receive a call-back from his

admin asst (heaven forbid you ever talk to Dr. Gray.) After all the testing was

completed, the protocol was to sit down again with the doctor to discuss all the

findings and finalize the treatment plan. I finished my testing the early part

of Sep 06 - and am still waiting for his staff to contact me for this meeting

(by that time, I was fed up with leaving messages for calls that would not be

returned.) I believe THAT is the reason he wants cash up front. As for costs,

I think my total was about $9300 by the time all the testing was complete.

Finally, the initial protocol has made no difference to the quality of my health

and cognitive abilities - I'm still just

as useless as I was before I saw him.

If you would like additional info or have other questions, please let me know

- I can also be reached via travel_jf@.... I also have a little info on a

diff doctor (I was down to these two and picked Gray due to location.)

Sincerely,

Wow - not good feedback. I was afraid of that, but thanks for the

info. I appreciate the info and if you have more - would love to hear

it as well. (feel free to send it to my e-mail to the right...)

I wish you luck in your quest to get back to health!

How agreeable are you to travel up to vegas? I LOVE my DOCTOR and her

office is not like Gray's. Granted she ALWAYS runs late, but, you get the

tme and attention that you rEQUIRE..that's why her patients don't mind the

wait.

For example, FIRST visit is at least an HOUR! I have been going to her

for 10 years and I HAVE NOT REACHED the 9,300 that the other person has

spent. I do not know what allergy tests/panels costs, but, she doens't

NOT colelct $ like that up front.

She does provaction/neutralization testing and has licensing in AZ, so I

am not sure if you have to be seen by a " local " insurance approved dr.

Her name is Carol Barlow and she also has a MS in toxicology, board

certified in 2 boards and is VERY open to trying patients suggestions for

treatments.

,

Sorry about your experence. I can attest to your story. I tried 3 times to get

a return call

from him after talking to his office manager and then his assistant to discuss

what he could do

for me. I guess I just got a bad felling about continuing with him.

I guess I am one of the lucky ones on this site. I was in a rental house for a

year and had all

the symptoms. It was the broncitius and the mold growing on the wall that got

me out of there. I

have spent the last year going to Dr.s only to be prescribed allergy meds and

steriods. I think

the diet, vitamins, and garlic supplements worked the best. Time will help. But

how do I know

what toxic long term effect I will encounter.

I wish you all well.
