He is giving me options to try and help manage the horrible disease and a gameplan which I appreciate so much. The downfall is the wait time and red tape to get in to this doctor took 4.5 months that I suffered greatly with 17+ scary episodes of long, violent vertigo, violent vomiting, hearing loss, blood sugar issues, and other monster-symptoms - I was forced to figure things out on my own and had to pay a lot of money for alternative medicine to help me immediately.

My daughter has experienced a 15 year saga of pain. We have traveled the country to many of the top medical centers desperate for her relief from pain. We have seen over 60 medical practitioners, some western medical providers and some eastern. Any treatment that may have helped her, we tried. Dr. Micco was truly the one doctor who had taken the time to read her volume of records and also listen to us upon her first visit. He truly care and exemplifies what a doctor should be. We are forever grateful!
