Beware: Charlatan and potential narcissist or psychopath. This man was arrested for insurance fraud and sentenced to more than 3 years in prison in 2019. ‘Chronic Lyme Disease’ is not a diagnosis supported by the CDC. Dr. Bravia defrauded people who sought substance abuse treatment for an organization called Liberation Way and also subjected people to unnecessary and damaging, prolonged antibiotic treatment for people with Lyme disease in his Harleysvile practice. I suspected my son had Lyme disease in 2011 due to the suggestion from a former professor, who I should not have listened to. I took him to a respected Lyme specialist, who didn’t believe my son had Lyme, and my son in fact tested negative. We were both distressed because we had no other explanation for his many neuropsychiatric symptoms. My ex husband, who had previously disregarded my suspicion that our son might have ‘disseminated Lyme disease’ suddenly became invested in finding him treatment, and somehow found Dr. Braccia. This doctor used a sham lab and presented a positive Lyme diagnosis for my son along with a proposal for an extensive antibiotic protocol with some additional ‘tinctures.’ Long story short, I had an intense ‘aha’ moment about a month in when I realized his symptoms were just like emotional trauma symptoms. SEVEN years later he was finally diagnosed with complex PTSD. This man was part of the problem that that delayed my son’s diagnosis. It was a bait and switch to distract from the true nature of my son’s injury, which was narcissistic abuse. You should know Dr. Braccia’s criminal history and story- Google his name and read about the lawsuits against him. He was also part of (mentioned above) the Liberation Way organization that supposedly provided substance abuse treatment in ‘support homes’ where staff members engraved in inappropriate sexual relationships with patients. Essentially, it seems that Dominick Braccia set up ‘treatment centers’ as a way to attract vulnerable (likely already emotionally traumatized) individuals that he could further take advantage of in the form of gaslighting, financial manipulation, medical abuse, and emotional , physical and psychological betrayal. May he never practice medicine again. He deserves no stars, but unfortunately this message cannot be posted without a rating.
