Re: new here, is dr. stewart?

August 9, 2010

Hi ,

I too am from the Austin area and I know a patient of Dr. 's. I know

that Dr. knows of Dr. Goldberg, but his methods are different enough

that he would not be able to call himself a doctor. He is not as

aggressive with the antiviral as Dr. Goldberg, prescribing them on an " as

needed " basis, wheras Dr. Goldberg prescribes them longer term. This

patient I referred to before is a friend's daughter. After quite a bit of

trouble, she was determined to need long term antivirals (all these kids do,

in my opinion) and is finally getting the meds she needs. My friend's

daughter has had trouble with Dr. 's office returning phone calls as

they are very disorganized. She has also been told that her daughter needs

ongoing labwork, but they do not send lab orders, leaving her to remember

for herself and have to call the office, which as I mentioned before, she's

been having trouble hearing back. (week long waits for a callback!) With

her being a type case herself, she is not organized enough herself to

have charge of realizing when her daughter needs medications or lab orders.

In the case of Dr. Goldberg, you send weekly updates and he and his

wonderful staff stay on top of whether medications are being effective and

when labwork is required.

So long story short, Dr. 's office may get you the care you need and

they are closer to home. You would need to stay on top of them to make sure

that your child is getting the care they need. Also Dr. Goldberg does not

recommend most supplements as there could very likely be ingredients that

cause allergic reactions in those with compromised immune systems, so there

is some basic treatment disagreement there. We choose Dr. Goldberg and have

not regretted it, but you need to make the decision that best fits your

family's needs.

My best to you and yours,

April

I know several people who have taken their children to Dr. with

varying results. While he does use some of the same medicines, his approach

is not . doctors do prescribe antiviral, antifungal and SSRI

meds, but also work to " cool down " the immune system by reducing exposures to

things that individuals over-react to (foods, inhalants, supplements) and

treat some other things (ie: strep) on a case by case basis depending on what

is messing with the immune system.
