Have You Seen Dr. Vliet? Is the Price Worth It?
Question by : Have you seen Dr. Vliet? Is The price worth it?
I have a severe hormone problem that has made my life dysfunctional and has destroyed my career plans. It has been debilitating since I was in my mid-20s. I’m 45 now. I’ve seen a whole horde of doctors who’ve been unable or unwilling to help me, because they don’t understand these complex issues or know what to do about it. Diet and exercise have not helped. Hormones have helped only minimally. I’ve read the famous Dr. Vliet’s books, and I’m amazed at her knowledge. She seems to be the foremost expert on hormone issues. I’m thinking about seeing her, but I wonder if that would do any good, and an appointment is so expensive–more than I can afford. Her prices are astronomical! I recall that it’s around $ 8,000 for the initial full appointment and you have to have costly followup appointments in order to remain on the prescriptions she orders. She’s now offering a “Second Opinion” appointment for aprox. $ 995.00, but she won’t prescribe drugs for the lower cost appointment and will only write a report about suggestions of treatment and testing. I don’t know if that will be of help to me since the doctors in this area won’t prescribe hormones, period, and probably won’t give a hoot about what she suggests in the report. It almost seems to me like she’s just in it for the money. Greedy, in my opinion.I think any doctor who has this knowledge to help people should be doing so for reasonable fees.
Nevertheless, if she truly could help me, I’d try to see her despite my personal views on the cost. But it will take me a long time to try and save up to do so.
Several years ago, before I knew about Vliet, I traveled to see a supposed “expert” at the University of Chicago, and it was a complete waste of money. I seemed to know more about my hormone problem than he did, and after taking costly tests, he never did get back to me on a diagnosis or a treatment plan.
I would sure like to know your opinion about Dr. Vliet and whether seeing her helped you?
Thanks!

8000$ !? sounds like a big rip off to me just for the first appointment. What is your hormone problem?
