Ratings for Philip Battiade
2.5
This guy is a complete QUACK and should be in jail for all his shady dealings. He poses as a licensed Medical Doctor, NOT TRUE! Avoid him and all his sham businesses, he's a total scammer and has several fake "companies". He's harmed many ill patients, also known for sexually harassing his male employees.
There are two types of people. There are sick people; sick people that were cursed with a chronic illness. Then there are the people who intend to profit off of them. Mr. Battiade is one of them. I was diagnosed with Lyme disease in the summer of 2017. Once diagnosed, I was placed on antibiotics and felt better. About a year later, I began to develop scary neurological symptoms. After a bunch of MRIs, scans, a lumbar puncture and a bone marrow biopsy, I soon discovered that I had, what many like to call "contraversial" - chronic lyme disease. After working with some local doctors, I was turned on to Infusio. My wife reached out to them and was put in contact with Mr. Battiade. She had a conversation with him and I had two more conversations with him about why I should come there. The patient representatives were friendly and I felt hopeful. They assured me that although the program was two weeks, I would part of their program for one year. This included ongoing attention and I was assured that I would always be in contact with program staff as issues came up. In November of 2019, I went to Frankfurt and spent two weeks there. The experience while at the program was great. The staff were pleasant and kind. After I left Frankfurt, I was on my own. They explained to me that I could schedule a phone appointment anytime and I was shown how to conveniently schedule these appointments through the patient portal. I never felt any improvement in my symptoms. As my health continued to decline, I scheduled phone appointments only to be stood up. Out of the blue, I was contacted by program staff saying that Infusio was now under new ownership and the program would now be called EVO but "it wouldn't impact my program" and that I was still to return in March for the follow up. COVID came and my plan to return was cancelled. I emailed the program to discuss what this meant for me and was ignored. I called the program and demanded to speak to the patient representative. I was told I would get a call back within 15 minutes. Four hours later I got an email that I would return to the program when was allowable relative to COVID. When I responded with the numerous complaints about how no one ever communicates with me, responds to my email or calls me when I schedule phone consultations, I was told to call Mr. Battiade to express my grievances. I emailed Mr. Battiade who tried to pass the blame onto COVID. When I explained that I've never only been ignored and stood up by program staff, he insisted that he was sorry and that I communicate with him relative to my ongoing symptoms until I could come back for follow up. I sent him an email with a new lab test I had taken and several questions about supplements, his recommendations, etc. He never responded and continued to not respond to subsequent emails I sent. About a week ago, after sending a third email explaining that I was done attempting to communicate with him and I wanted $1200 for the follow up that I no longer had any interest in doing, he claimed to have sent me five emails that I "must not have gotten." I asked him to send me those emails. After two more emails requesting the emails, he clearly sent what were five emails that were made to appear like he sent them but were actually written on the spot in an attempt to save face. I confronted him on my belief that he never actually sent any emails and he has since not replied. If you're suffering with lyme disease, save the $25,000 because this program is fraudulent. Even if you want to believe it will work, you will be ignored once the money clears. Take that money and invest it into your local lyme literate M.D.
now in Germany they changed the company name its called now EVO ....and people still believe it ......lets see in in or 2 years when they don t have results and they want their money back..
Infusio an Babtiste scammed and harmed very ill Lyme patients l. Closed their doors at the Beverly Hills office his their $ in Germany and left their office evading prosecution. They are sick individuals and will be caught one way or another. Shame on you Infusio!!!
Hello, Bjan is not a doctor , they fool the clients saying that he was the doctor in frankfurt , but unfortunately he was before a manager for a catering company , the clinic never had a doctor too expense to have one... ...they are naturopath only..... they get their license studying from home for 1 year or so i know very well the work place so i know what im talking about unfortunately some still believe it at him.....shame on him and the staff who play the game because they need their salary every month ...in florida there are very good clinic doing so much better stuff check it out ....
He is a fraud not a real Dr. He takes money from the terminally ill. He is a liar to say the least. He has legal action against him. His clinic in Beverly Hill closes MAY 1, 2019 so if you want money back hire an attorney or call the DA., FDA, BBB and FTC and the bank you used to pay him.
Worst medical experience of my life. Patients were routinely told 85% success rate for Lyme when in fact their treatment has made a majority much much worse. A minority do seem to improve. Women were being sexually harassed by a doctor while I was there, and the founder has been accused of gross sexual abuse of patients in a lawsuit you can find on the LA court website. It’s an accusation, it might not be true, but in my experience women don’t make these stories up, and it’s consistent with his lack of empathy for (non-celebrity) women. He once publicly told a video patient audience that “women moan more”.
I would not go to Infusio again. Not only did I feel worse for a year after thhe procedure, it was very difficult to contact the infusio team for help. It cost $150 to talk to the doctor for 15 mins, and when one is freaking out because they feel so poorly, this is just not enough time. I went to infusio because i was told by Phil at the time that the success rate was 85%. Realistically, from what I know now, it's more of a 30% success rate. The owner also told me firsthand that nobody ever gets worse, and I know of about 70 people who got worse, just around the time I went. I also am very displeased about the permanent dent in my left buttock, which is clearly noticeable through a bathing suit. They should have a plastic surgeon performing the liposuction, and clearly they didn't. Overall, my time at infusio was a waste of money that could have been spent on other treatments that actually work.
Two family members were treated with SVF and “ACT” at Infusio in 2017. The clinic was grossly understaffed with qualified medical professionals to manage the intense complexity of the treatment cohort present. In addition, they overbooked the Lyme treatment patients resulting in poor scheduling, lack of seating during treatment, and poor oversight during procedures ( IV ozone). Patients were left to assist other patients. Simple medical best practices with IV prep and labeling for patient specificity was not performed. As very ill patients waited for care, “celebrities” paraded in and out as the IBH marketing team pulled care staff to give them “hangover” IVs and produce promotional material. Other safety issues like emergency call lights in treatment rooms where patients are left alone were lacking. Small liposuction is required for the protocol, and we are left with permanent indentations and pain from scarring as a result of poor execution. The exit instruction which we were told would be given by the treating physician was held by a marketer who,?of course, was unable to answer a single medically related question. Philip Battiade very publicly touted an 85% success rate on numerous occasions. He emphatically states there was no possible way these critical patients could worsen from his treatment. My family and countless others now suffer from mast cell disease, autoimmune encephalitis, viral issues, and even post menopausal hormone levels (seen in a Very young female). In response to patients seeking answers or additional help, several were told they were worse due their “negative attitude”. If that isn’t patient shaming, I’m not sure what qualifies. I would never recommend this facility due to incredibly poor follow up, communication, snap treatments based on hunches rather than hard science, and an utter disregard for human suffering. The ethics of this practice are abysmal. Seemingly, they care more about their celebrity reputation than truly listening and working toward a viable treatment option for a heavily marginalized patient population. All of this to the tune of 27,000 x each patient plus immense travel expenses. Your life saving dollars are better used elsewhere. This treatment “concept” gives you about a 30% chance of worsening and/or 30% without improvement. Not the odds I would consider a resounding success.
There are some results but NOT great results with SVF for Lyme and coinfections. They will inflate their success rates in their sales pitch to you. They have no qualitative way of coming up with the percentages. They will say they give all patients a questionnaire and this is not true. Ask for proof. I am a patient and I believe this treatment was the worst choice I have ever made. In my opinion, the staff is NOT superb because of their burn rate, subsequent lack of experience and because of the alleged public disturbing accusations and lawsuits from MULTIPLE former staff. In my opinion, where there is smoke there is fire. In two years I know of at least 15 different staff members that have come and gone. Philip Battiade was very involved in the heavy lifting for many years. There is evidence even though the company has recently sanitized their social media accounts and started touting that Phil is only a “concepts guy”. Just because an account is sanitized doesn’t mean the pictures or patient testimony has vanished. Oh my God, I am a naysayer. Why? Because every time I went through a legitimate channel of communication it fell on deaf ears. I would not get a response for weeks and during this time while I was hurting. I was kicked off many of the private FB groups because I kept asking legitimate questions from my Primary Care Physician. Naysayer why? Because there are individuals that are asking legitimate questions and trying to share their truthful negative experiences - AND they are being served with defamation lawsuits and bullied by groomed influencers. Do your research on this person who is not a scientist, a licensed MD and goes by other alias name. Do you really want to spend over 20k to be injected with the “proprietary” unknown? Don’t fall for the glitzy marketing package that changes every month. You’ll see more celebrities sitting in the coffee shop out front. Research individuals history, employment, other key players and ask why so many companies? Follow the money. Why were individuals peddling cosmetic cytokines as short as three years ago and now are “experts” in cancer and chronic illness? Why are there groomed influencers who have censored the sick patients on social media and only post the same glowing reviews over and over? When you have done the above and still choose to go - then God bless you when you get that “cheese sandwich in a hurricane tent”. But then again some people like that - so what do I know? My truth.
