Dr. Dercola was very nice and he actually explained to me what my heart condition is and recommended a medication that hopefully will help my heart rythem problem. He is very knowledgeable and he took the time to go over my heart tests with me. I wish there were more physicians out there like him.

Although Dr Dercola told me the medication might not be covered by my insurance, and that it would be expensive, I was unprepared for $700 a month. I called the office after I left informing them that I could not afford. To date, I have not heard back about next steps to take.

I really liked the doctor. He was real understanding and he recommended I get some blood work, but I think he sent it to the endocrinologist and they're just supposed to send me the papers telling what they wanted me to get done and I'll have to go get a primary doctor to go forward with it. But I really liked him and I would recommend him to anybody. Thank you.

Yes, I thought John Dercola was very informative to me. He listened to me. He checked me. He was explaining things to me, he showed me on the computer screen what he was talking about. They did an EKG. He advised me what that showed, and everything. He was very informative. I was very, very impressed. He took time to listen to me, which a lot of doctors do not do, and he also explained, and any questions I had, he answered them. I was very impressed with everything that happened that day and the, the people that I had seen, and that took me back to the room, etcetera etcetera.
