feedback re: Dr. Lowe

February 2, 2010

When I corresponded with Dr. Lowe and/or Tammy regarding a consult there were

soooo eager to have me consult, I was even told in an email to book fast as the

slots are filling up fast. The email correspondence were responded to within a

day, sometimes a few times a day.

I finally made the decision to consult; maily because I felt I had a glucose

issue that was interfering with t3 being utilized by my body/cells.

So I had an appt. with him, charged me an arm and half a leg. Since then i have

not had emails responded to. It's been over a week that I am seeking follow up

on a glucose test he has asked me to do.

I am totally ticked off and want to warn others about this.

This smacks of a scam; getting desperate folks to book an appointment and then

being left high and dry without any follow up as to how to proceed.

In one of my correspondences via email I mentioned that his idea of taking all

my t3 in the eve was leaging me with unbearable symptoms and that I will go back

to multi-dosing by day; peniding his thoughts on the matter. It is over a week

since I asked that question and am still awaiting a response. of course i went

back to mutlti-dosing, no use waiting for a response that will not come from

him.

I also asked him about some details pertaining to the home glucose test; and

have yet to hear a response. It is over a week since I have emailed that

question.

Funny thing is, prior to our appointmetn (prior to his charging my credit card,

that is), the correspondence was swift, within a few hours.

I am totally ticked off and would like to call my credit card company requesting

to void Dr. Lowe's charges.

Any legalities I ought to be aware of when doing so?

Please all be aware of Dr. Lowe's practices. If you've had a good experience

please do share so there can be a balanced view.

I hope it's ok that I have posted this here. The guy has lost all respect in my

eyes.

And Val's group together with Nick and the others: you rock! thanks for being

here!

There is nothing "legally" he can do when you do a charge back. The Credit card companies will do a investigative service on him to see if he indeed "own up to his service he told you he would provide you". Then they will ask you questions about his services rendered to you. If you paid for a follow up on your Glucose issue and he has not responded in a timely manner, then you need to tell the credit card people this. The worst thing that can happen is the credit card company makes you pay the charges.

I'll respond with a similar story.I did provide the Lowe's with all my medical history - lots of info to review. I spoke with Dr. Lowe for an hour - I'm sure it would have gone longer if I had had the time.He did follow up to some extent sending me his info on glucose dysregulation but there were other things he said he would send but did not.He would not answer my follow up emails - mainly about iodine.I figured I would have to make another appt -? So I did - I was willing to pay for an additional 30 minutes - it was all arranged and confirmed thru his wife Tammy .He never called.I emailed and called both - nothing - nada - zip. Kind of weird and sad. I should make sure that my card was not charged again- it's too bad that I feel so suspicious but I do.Overall it was expensive - I do think he knows what he's talking about- but I am pretty dubious about the business legitimacy and of course any ethical obligation - when afterall he knows exactly the desperation of hypo and CFS people.I am being rather measured in this response but believe me I walked away feeling somewhat taken advantage of.BonnieSent from my iPhone

I am beginning to feel outraged as I hear from others who've had similar

experiences. If we can hear more stories we can perhaps DO something about this;

I think I will notify Janie about this, before she invites him for another

TalkShoe talk.

Technically speaking, When I take this charge up with my credit card company, a

charge of close to four hundred dollars, what would be the best way to present

my case against paying for a service he did not complete? he also said he would

send me more info on glucose dysregulation and i never got it. i emailed him and

Tammy that the nighttime dosing is giving me severe ill effects and I'd like to

know how to proceed. It is over a week and he has not advised me on how to

proceed. Thank God I did not wait for his response, i simply went back to

multiple=times=a=day dosing. But he doesn't know that. And so as per his

practice, he is allowing a patient to suffer with ill effects for over a week!

simply because of a 'laziness' to respond to a simple email!

And why is it before I signed up for a consult the emails were going back and

forth a few times a day, and such an eagerness on their part to have me have the

consult!

I am thoroughly outraged! And I thank you for allowing me to expose this

injustice here!

OK Much as this has been an interesting exchange, I need to call a stop

to it now. It is OT for this group though as we have referenced Dr

Lowe's work in the past I felt it good to allow airing of the bad with

the good. However, I doubt you have legal recourse for these things.

Read the contract for the phone consults. I happen to know a bit about

legalities of service businesses which is what a phone consult is.

Unless it states in that contract that he is required to follow up with

email consulting there is no legal requirement to do so. Maybe a moral

or ethical one, but legally, no. The service you contracted for was ONE

phone consult of specific duration and that accomplished, he owes no

further contact, legally. He offers a service (phone consult) he

provided that service and his obligation is done and you are required to

pay for his time in providing that service which you contracted for.

This is how service contracts work. SO unless follow up contact is

specifically mentioned in the phone consult CONTRACT he has given what

you paid for and no follow up is required.

Val, thanks for your input! I was told in the email that dr. lowe would get back

to me regarding the dosing.

I have no problem calling by phone; I simply understood that email charges apply

just the same as phone charges and email is easier for me. But I will give them

a call if this will make all the difference.

Thanks again.
