5/15/13 5 5 5 5 My wife has made more improvement with Dr. J in two months than she has in 10 years with many physicians. Your broad and deep understanding and ability to problem solve complex medical conditions which are seemingly unrelated is impressive! Please keep up the great work and know that I am grateful to have her under your care. Your bedside manner and sense of humor is refreshing and caring.  Respond

4/9/13 5 5 5 5 Very helpful to my wife who had been all but abandoned by the blinkered local medical personnel. Dr. Schaller was willing to drive 3 hours to see my wife in a house call not once but twice because she was too ill to travel.

3/20/13 5 5 5 5 Dr. Schaller knows his stuff. I was being treated at the VA medical Center in Miami if you want to call it that. The doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with me so they just chalked it up to stress. My symptoms were getting worse: confusion, depersonalization, memory loss, headaches, dizziness..... I was referred to Dr. Schaller and he was like a breath of fresh air. He immediately knew what I was suffering from and we started the treatment. He is very caring, knowledgeable, and the only doctor I know that will call you within 5 minutes of you emailing him. He is very passionate about his work and it shows in every aspect of this treatment, I'm so grateful I found him!!!  Respond

3/4/13 5 5 5 5 Dr. Schaller is the best doctor! I feel truly blessed that he called me within minutes of requesting a first appointment. He listened to me, acknowledged my symptoms, and gave me free advice. I feel like he should give workshops to other doctors on how to treat patients. I'm grateful to him for all that he did for me especially, since I know of the many demands for his time!  Respond

2/17/13 5 4 5 5 For our first meeting I found Dr. Schaller tovery knowledgable and caring doctor. He has an excellent bedside manner and listens to what you have to say. He explains everything to you and ensures you understand your diagnosis and treatment options. I have been to many doctors seeking out what could be wrong with me and Dr. Schaller took the time and diagnostic testing and wouldn't quit till he found you an answer. I would highly recommend this doctor to anyone who has had a long term illness and needs answers.  Respond

1/21/13 5 5 5 5 I am glad to have the opportunity to share how Dr. Scahller has helped my family. For over 24 years I had suffered from a "mystery" illness, and even though I had seen and spent a countless amount of money, over 13 specialists and my family doctor told me I would need to quit work, my health was continuing to decline. Then I found Dr. Schaller (or Dr. House/with the nice personality as I like to call him). He was the only doctor willing to take the time to really listen to me and do all the tests necessary to diagnose my problem. He is such a caring, compassionate and INCREDIBLY SMART - amazing doctor. . I am now back at work 100% and would not EVER hesitate to call or go see Dr. Schaller again. I will always use and trust Dr. J for my families care. What he has done for me and my family is priceless! I can't imagine ever going back to how I use to feel. Stop feeling bad, just give him a call. This is what I tell people! I am a REAL person and this is my REAL story  Respond

10/30/12 5 5 5 5 I was 400-lbs, getting divorced, and couldn't work, and Dr. Schaller opened the gates of hell and let me out. It is because of his insight, knowledge, and through understanding of what blood tests mean, that I was able to be properly diagnosed and treated. All the other "Doctors" just through prescritions at me. Dr. Schaller was tenacious in his effort to find the root causes of my myriad of symtoms and get me healthy again. I am going back to work overseas again shortly, and it would not be possible without Dr. Schaller. He saved me from dying of the illness or by my own hand.  Respond

10/15/12 4 5 5 5 I have suffered with what was originally diagnosed as Interstitial Cystitis for many years. After seeing numerous physicians over a period of 20 years, I learned of and consulted Dr. Schaller because of his reknown and expertise in an area that I had started suspecting was the root cause of my condition. A personal consult by phone gave me the reassurance I needed that it was worth traveling from Canada to the U.S. to visit with him. After reviewing my multitude of existing lab test results Dr. Schaller recommended additional tests that had never been done before to help round out the picture of what was going on. His knowledge, thoroughness and evidence-based treatment recommendations thus far have not only given me marked improvement after only one month, but they've given me HOPE for a full recovery for the first time. Although I still have a long way to go I finally have a sense that I am not alone with no answers. Thank you so very much Dr. J.!  Respond

10/14/12 5 5 5 5 Dr. Schaller is probably the most brilliant doctor I have worked with and believe me I've worked with many! I've suffered from chronic fatigue for many years until I was diagnosed with Lyme disease 2 yrs. ago. I've treated Lyme but only started to feel a little improvement. I contacted Dr. Schaller and he found that I have Babesia and Bartonnela through indirect testing! I am following his treatment protocols and I already see the difference. Dr. Schaller has been extremely generous with his time and very sensitive to my concerns. (He also has a great sense of humor but that's besides the point.)I am very lucky to have found Dr. Schaller and I can't thank enough!  Respond

10/12/12 5 5 5 5 Dr Schaller is the best physician I have ever seen, by far. After being sick for over a year, he correctly diagnosed and then started treating me. I now have more energy after eight weeks of treatment than I have had since I became sick. He also correctly diagnosed my husband who is also improving. He is available anytime and offers highly individualized care. The bottom line is this: you get what you pay for and Dr Schaller is worth the money. My husband and I are very grateful to Dr Schaller for helping us regain our lives.  Respond

4/2/12 4 4 5 5 After having been sick for many years, Dr. Schaller tested me for many things, determined what infections I had, and then began treating me. I started feeling better within days. I was able to begin law school after about three months of treatment. Now, I'm healthy, I've graduated law school near the top of my class, and I'm getting back into drug-free bodybuilding. Dr. Schaller has been a blessing from God to me. He is incredibly knowledgeable, generous with his time, and most importantly cured me. Dr. Schaller is a great physician and healer.  Respond

2/15/12 5 5 5 5 Dr Schaller is the "Best" doctor I have ever seen. Thanks to him I am alive today. He has literally saved my life twice. Lucky for me he did not tell me "it was all in my head" as a lot of other doctors did before I found Dr. J. Not only is he a "genius" medically, he is also the most caring and compassionate person I have ever met. If you are looking for a GREAT doctor your search is over. He truly is "The Best".  Respond

1/16/12 5 4 5 5 Dr. Schaller's knowledge surpasses any doctor I have ever treated with. He just does not give up on a patient. I was sick for 12 years, the last year almost being bedbound. No other doctor could uncover what caused my ill health. I am now functioning like a healthy person again, enjoying life, thanks to Dr Schaller. This man is dedicated to helping people and savings lives. I highly recommend Dr Schaller especially if you have not been properly diagnosed and still are sick. Two others in my family now see Dr Schaller and we all love the caring physician he is. Dr Schaller has given me back my life and health and I will always be grateful to him.  Respond

7/19/10 5 5 5 5 Dr Schaller is "the Best" MD I have ever seen. His knowledge and tenacity to get to the root of your medical problems is unsurpassed. He takes as much time as necessary to diagnose your symptoms and will not stop until he has found an answer. I am living proof. He literally saved my life when other MD's left me hopeless. If you have medical issues that no one has the answers for, he is the man to see. You will definitely be treated with respect and compassion. The medical profession should use him as a model of what a Doctor is supposed to be.  Respond

1/27/10 5 5 5 5 After YEARS of being treated for other medical problems on top of having Lyme which we didnt know, doctors kept telling me it is because of your medical problems,there isn't much we can do, I am not sure why etc. Not even trying to go outside the box just in case it was something else. So we started going outside the box and found Dr Schaller who saw us IMMEDIATELY without even knowing my medical history background. He has been treating me for about 7 months now and there is a BIG improvement. I went from not living at all & having no life to living again. I still have a long way to go but feel that his knowledge and helpfulness will get me where I need to be which is to live again!  Respond

1/1/10 5 5 5 5 Only doctor who was adequately able to diagnose and treat my children and me. Saw at least a dozen other doc's - most LLMD's (supposedly). Spent a fortune and they did not treat the co-infections or properly test for them. Also knew nothing about MSH and HLA or how important these tests are along with a whole host of others. My children might be dead were it not for this doctor. Instead they are healthy, functional and doing well in school. No one ever even believes I had this dreaded disease... which went undiagnosed for over 20 years...  See Responses

5/25/09 4 5 5 5 I w/gladly share that Dr Schaller saved my life after traveling & seeing over 55 Doctors with answers like it out of my expertise or its in your head. He sat down with me for 3 hrs, and knew what was wrong with me(with blood work) Also with such compassion he believed it was worth checking my wife to find out if I gave her my disease (during my exam he went over my body with a marker identifying indicators). He has dedicated his life mission where so many other so called doctors fall so very short not giving you any time or consideration he will respond to your needs any time of day/night. After 18 yrs I found DR Schaller- if I did not find him I would be dead. I'm a father of two and a husband of 25 yrs. My wife and I both owe him more than words can describe. But I will say this, the rest of the medical world should learn from him-his compassion & caring. He is out for your well being no matter how much time it takes not the normal 10 min & out the door. RLC P.S. not enough space?  Respond

6/30/08 5 5 2 5 This doctor saved my life. I went to several doctors over several years and was getting sicker and sicker. This doctor took the time to figure out the root cause and got me functional again. He is very arrogant but many of the other doctors I have seen were arrogant with no results to back them up.  Respond
