My visit with Dr. Black at Hunter-Hopkins

I looked at the Hunter-Hopkins website and one of their blog posts says that Dr. Black retired in fall of 2019. Is she back now?

Their website says she has no plans to return to practicing medicine right now. It was a family situation of some kind. (Maybe a seriously ill kid, parent, or spouse who needs care?)

Do they offer any up to date treatments?

When I talked to them it seemed like they only managed symptoms and weren’t very up to date on treatments - still using ancient shit like ampligen which has a horrible effectiveness rate for the cost. Better using standard antivirals in terms of success rates and even that is old news
