I'm sorry - I don't have any idea. All I can tell you is that people fly from overseas to see Dr. B. She is the only one that I know of that has this much incite.>

yep, it's one meeting in person and then after that it's all phone calls and emails if you are being treated long-distance, as many of us are. 

I'm in Georgia. I flew out of Atlanta, direct flight to LA, got there at night, got a hotel, saw Dr. B the next morning then flew back home that evening. It was worth the trip.

When I first found out about Dr B I thought, "Maybe I can follow her herbal protocol myself!" HA! Soon followed by: "Maybe I will fly out there next year when my daughter is older" Then it soon went to "Maybe I will wait until my husband has off for the summer" Then it was "I  am making flight arrangments for next month" The more I read and prayed and thought- the more I knew I just had to get there. I was still (am still) nursing my baby and I have 2 older ones as well and thought it would be impossible.
 
I also  thought it was going to be super expensive. i was thinking I could hold a charity cabaret or something!  But for me, it hasn't been too expensive at all. The first appointment was 350 and the phone consults are 150 plus whatever supplemens you need. I already had been floundering around paying all kinds of people for useless treatments and buying tons of supplements to try to do this myself. The flight and hotel weren't cheap for sure but the monthly cost has not been astronomical at all.
 
 
I don't regret it for one minute.

Hi Momma,
I'm going to echo everyone here.  I have IC  and live in Toronto, Canada.  At first I tried traditional treatment, then naturopathy then a Chinese Medicine doctor.  Each of those approaches were pieces in the puzzle, but IC is such a complex condition that I didn't really notice any real improvement.  In the end, after 8 months of different attempts, bathroom drawers full of supplements and pills and thousands of dollars down the drain, I finally made the decision to see Dr. Brizman.  I absolutely don't look back. NOBODY understands this condition better than she does.  I don't have a ton of expendable income but, frankly, I'm glad she was only as far away L.A.  I would have gone to China to see her if I had to.  For the first time, I see real improvement and can feel deeper healing.  
 
Everyone needs to follow their own path to wellness, and I don't regret the choices I made, but if I could offer any advice it would be NOT to wait.  Save yourself time and money and go see Dr. Brizman sooner rather than later.
All the best to you.
Lauren
