Overcharged! I had to cancel my appointment after making it two days ago. It is almost three weeks away. I am being charged $400. Criminal.

Dr. Zweben is fine, but the way her practice is run is a mess. I believe this is largely due to her assistant, Olivia who I wouldn't trust with dry cleaning let alone my health. She is not very responsive and has dropped the ball on prescriptions. She once scheduled me for a 45 min appointment for a diagnostic follow up. It took only 35 mins to get through the test results (and I had a lot of questions) and could easily have been a 30 min call. At one point during the call, I asked her a question and she said something along the lines of "if you had reviewed the results....." and I'm thinking if I could just do that, why would I be talking to you? I paid for it and didn't complain. When I emailed a very straightforward question to Olivia, her response is that it wasn't a question for her and that I would have to set up 15 mins with Dr. Zweben to discuss. I am all for supporting folks whose ENTIRE PRACTICE is devoted to patient centric care. I learned the hard way that this is not that place. read more

I've spent insane amounts of time, energy and money for two decades trying to find the root causes. Dr Zweben is a godsend, I'm happy to pay her for her expertise. A 2 hour appointment is unheard of in my previous experience. I found her curious, engaging, brilliant, compassionate and kind. read more

I just had a phone consultation with Dr. Zweben. I was grateful for the brief no charge consultation but after thinking about our time on the phone I checked out some reviews here about her and some resonated with me. I felt Dr. Zweben talked fast, seemed rushed and I agree with another person here that she kind of monopolized the conversation. At one point she said that she wasn't going to take her time to talk about her costs. She later mentioned her fees and they seem ridiculously high. I felt she was lacking maturity and her bedside manner was poor. I'm not impressed and will not be seeking her out for help with my health concerns. read more

Reading Dr.Zwebens negative reviews makes me embarrassed for my species. Dr Zweben is one of the international leaders in her focus. As high as her rates are, she charges about half of what she ought to. When I come to my appointments, my lab results speak, I listen, and voila! I get better! I am grateful that Dr. Zweben doesn't charge me by the hour to sit and listen to me babble. Dr. Zweben speaks fast because she is considerate of her rate, and she is also busy because she is the best. If I wanted someone to charge me by the hour to listen to me ramble, then I would hire a psychotherapist. Dr. Zweben is a genius. I see her for mold. After decades of not knowing what was wrong with me, and the medical system giving me no answers, Dr. Zweben had answers. My IBS is gone, my asthma is gone, my food intolerances are a fraction, my apnea is gone, my energy is better, and while it is true that having my health back is amazing, it's at least as much to know I am not insane. Some people would complain about paper cuts if you hand them a $100 bill. Dr. Zweben is a true gift to society. read more

I have had very poor experiences with Dr. Zweben. I went to her initially for treatment for mold sickness treatment, Lyme etc. In every appt she dominated the conversation and it left very little time to answer my questions. When I had more questions than the appt time & her talking allowed, I was told I could schedule a 15min consult for $75. It was also very obvious that she was focused more on money than care. For example, at one point I said I wouldn't be able to afford certain treatments for a while, and her whole demeanor changed. Another time, we scheduled a 15min phone consult, and she, as with many other appts, dominated the conversation and went on and on to the point that our appt went to 17.5 min instead of 15. This would not have been an issue, however when I received the bill I was charged an extra $25 for the 2.5 minutes in which she talked over our time. When I emailed to understand what was going on, I received nothing but pushback. I have ended my care here and do not recommend her. read more

Thought I would update previous review after some time treating the infection. It turns out that my main problem is Mycoplasma. I responded positively to the Bartonella antibiotics because it used a macrolide antibiotic that also treats mycoplasma. I'm feeling better but still not completely recovered. Still herxing but it is less severe. I'm very encouraged as I have not felt this good in 15 years or so. I took antibiotics for 3-4 months and felt better but had trouble tolerating them and stopped. All symptoms returned immediately. I've been using a Spooky2 Rife Plasma machine ($2000) for almost 9 months now. Using the machine was how I was able to diagnose myself with the mycoplasma machine based on the insane herxes and then backtrack to using the Buhner protocol. Before Rife, it was a guessing game. Dr. Golan is ok but if I had to do it all over again, I would not see him. He is too expensive and lacks a deep knowledge of Lyme and chronic health issues. I'd suggest going out of state to maybe the SF Bay Area. If I had any advice for people who are sick and confused as to what bug is causing their issues, I would suggest writing down a list of all possible co-infections and then get the cheap Spooky2 ($150) contact with tens pads and systematically run through the list of bugs. When you have a reaction, take note and start treating with rife. You can add in herbs and antibiotics as well. Let me know if you have any questions: Colinwalshbg(at)gmail.com 1/21 Update: Feeling much better. The rife confines to work great. The bug mutates so the settings on the harmonics need to be adjusted. If you don't have a reaction after using, then the settings need to be adjusted. Also found out I have low Testosterone. It may be why my immune system was low and the allowed be overgrowth of mycoplasmas to occur. Pregnenolone and Dhea are providing life-altering symptomatic improvement. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Zweben for over a year now for chronic Lyme disease, co-infections and deep-seated health issues likely from childhood. Her innovative and well-rounded approach has been the reason I was able to return to a normal, active and happy life again so quickly. She listens, explains everything, and has a confident yet caring attitude. After years of suffering and useless doctors that didn't listen, I feel lucky to still be here. Yes the care is expensive and the location is tough for me, but her treatments *work.* There's no price on that. She's the best. read more

As former patient of Dr Zweben, I agree with Colin W., and Julie F., reviews of Dr Zweben. Dr Zweben dominates conversations which makes it hard to get your questions addressed which is a problem when you are paying $175 for a 1/2 hour phone consult. It almost like she wastes your phone consult talking about irrelevant things so you go over time to get you questions addressed and she can charge more for it. I needed a paragraph written to document my medical condition to get help from my insurance company . She had me write the paragraph and then told me to get her to sign it I would need to pay for another phone consult. She is very focused on money. read more

Dr. Zweben helped me resolve adult-onset asthma and went on to help me get at the root cause of my ongoing breathing issues. She is an intelligent, gifted practitioner with the right knowledge and tools available to help patients who want to be healthy and live a quality life. I am grateful for the treatment I received at Market Place Naturopathic, and I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone struggling with health issues unresolved by the traditional medical route. read more

I started seeing Dr. Zweben last year for lyme disease. I've been dealing with it for over a decade, so it was wonderful to find a doctor who was so incredibly knowledgeable and up-to-date, but also kind and personable. Lyme is tricky to treat, and I love that Dr. Zweben approaches it very differently from most practitioners. Her treatments are key for my healing. read more

Four of our children have been seeing Dr. Zweben for almost a year now. She was able to figure out our daughter's complicated health situation; something no other MD, ND or FMP was able to do over the last 6 years. She got our 20 yo daughter from bedridden, seizures and a multitude of other symptoms to walking again in a matter of a few short months! Dr. Z is professional, reasonably priced and caring. What other doctor spends 2 hours with you at your first visit? She has also been very patient with me as a Mom with 4 chronically ill children, who just wants to see my kids well again. I'm so exhausted from trying to research why my kids are sick, why doctors couldn't figure it out; and I'm so relieved that I don't have to anymore. By the end of this month, the other four members of my family, including myself, will be seeing her as well. It's time for all of us to feel well and enjoy life again! I cannot recommend Dr. Z enough. She's literally saved our lives! read more

Young and inexperienced doctor. Got the impression she is just looking for easy cash cow patients. She was detached and unprofessional. If you're looking for a warm, knowledgable, genuine doctor who cares about you, I did not find this to be her. read more

Dr. Zweben is the sole medical practitioner who identified and successfully treated my fatigue and dizziness -- turns out after decades of travel to developing countries, I needed specialized care to address what was at the root of my swelling thyroid and anemia. Working with her has resulted in a profound improvement in my energy level. She's a gem! read more
