I disagree with you completely! Dr. Rind really helped me after I was in a car accident. I had whiplash and in 6 visits I was 1000 times better and my neck was able to turn. He helped me in many other areas too like with my spine, infection, and hormones. He is one of the best doctors I have ever gone too.

I also took a course he gave once and it was fabulous. I still use the techniques I had learned from him to this day.

Now his office does NOT bill your insurance. You have to take care of that yourself...but you should have gone into it knowing that. I did. Half of the things he does there are simply not covered by insurance and that is a problem for some people and can be frustrating because when you are sick you want more things to be covered....but you can call your insurance company like I do before anything is done to ask if it is covered or not. I grew up with alternative medicine so sometimes people who haven't don't know what to expect and that is where I think some of your frustration is sourced.

He healed me where no other doc did. Did I find the long waits in his office frustrating? Yep. But if you have something serious that needs attention and other docs just give you a pill to get rid of you, then you are better off seeing him as he will get you healthier.

As a patient of Dr. Rind and a recognized expert on medical malpractice insurance, I would like to address the allegations against Dr. Rind.

It is important to understand how persecuted physicians who practice integrative and alternative medicine can be. There has been a nationwide witch hunt of physicians who acknowlege that the allopathic community may not have all the answers and are willing to be pilloried by the AMA hardliners who are threatened by an innovation in treatment.

The "standard of care" of which Dr. Rind was accused of violating is based on how the majority of physicians in their specific community would treat a particular illness. In my case, highly acclaimed physicians who followed the standard of care failed to help me for over 15 years, but Dr. Rind, who incorporated the standard treatment but went beyond to add alternative treatments and methods of diagnosis, which allowed him to figure out the root cause of my illness and help me to overcome the disease.

If I wanted ordinary, I would go to Dr. X who accepts my coverage. Instead, I travel from Texas to be treated by Dr. Rind because he dares to be different at no small price to himself. Bucking the very powerful medical and pharma lobby is courageous, to say the least.

In regard to his record keeping, Dr. Rind actually types notes into an automated medical records system as he meets with the patient and reads aloud to the patient what he is typing, giving the patient the opportunity to edit at the time the notes are being entered. At the end of the session, Dr. Rind's highly detailed notes are given to the patient so they have a permanent record of his analysis and recommendations, giving the patient yet another chance to make corrections. I have never known another physician to do so, and I highly value this practice.

Second, I have been seeing Dr. Rind for five years, and in that time, he has never accepted insurance, it curious that he could be accused of insurance fraud. All fees are discussed with the patient up front and payment is required at the time of service, so I find it hard to understand how any "fraud" could occur. Further, his fees are reasonable compared to his peers, particularly since he spends considerably more time with the patient than the usual practitioner.

In my estimation, Dr. Rind is one of the finest diagnosticians in the country. I hate to see his good name challenged when he so far exceeds the average physician in his analysis, caring and treatment.

I just stumbled onto the post above about Dr. Bruce Rind and, although the post is quite old, I feel compelled to address it. Dr. Rind is a brilliant MD who uses natural remedies and alternative methods rather than conventional dosing with drugs. The federal government does not look kindly on alternative practitioners of any stripe and often libels them with trumped up charges. The practitioners are then dragged in to costly battles and required to prove their innocence. Often the practitioners are ruined both financially and professionally by the baseless accusations. Like many alternative practitioners, Dr. Rind chose to pay a fine and salvage what he could of his teaming practice. I have gone to him on and off for twenty years and can vouch for his professional expertise and his heartfelt desire to help his patients. Please don't jump to conclusions when confronted with negative press, especially if the source is the federal government, which has a strong bias against holistic and alternative medical practices.

This so called "quack" saved my leg from being amputated when traditional doctors were about to saw it off. He has helped every single person that I have recommended to him. His methods may be nontraditional but his results are almost unbelievable. The person who posted this should rethink before they slander a true healer. You're not only hurting this doctor with your post, you are hurting potential people that he can help by dismaying people with this nickle and dime garbage. If anyone went though your closet I'm sure it wound not be spic and span. Also, doctors like this are messed with all the time because No One really wants to make this type of medicine "main stream" I know many doctors of this kind who have been messed with because of their methods.
