Hi everyone- I had asked a question earlier about anyone's experience with Hunter-Hopkins in Charlotte.
Well, I had an appointment yesterday and I cannot recommend Dr. Laura Black and team enough. She is so incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate. (She also has a great sense of humor which is nice when dealing with this incredibly depressing illness!)
I WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS PLACE YRS AGO.
It was an extremely thorough visit (cognitive testing on a computer, tilt-table, VO2, anaerobic threshold testing on a bike, 10 vials of blood drawn/sent out).
I've been sick on/off for several years; have seen probably close to 20 doctors for different symptoms (and I work at a medical university!) and this is the first time I feel like someone had a CLUE. She knows everything surrounding this illness and all of the components (I have orthostatic intolerance and had no idea), is up on all of the latest research. If you can financially swing a visit here (they do not accept insurance but prepared all of the paperwork for me to submit), please call them immediately to get on their waitlist!!
