I've never taken time to rate a Dr before - but in this case I felt it was absolutely mandatory that I warn others of the experience I had. I wish I'd read reviews online prior to meeting with Dr Robet Milne! My daughter who is 16 yo is critically ill and i've been to several medical doctors to find answers. I was desperate for help. I found out the visit cost was $395 cash and I'm a single working mother - that is a lot for me - BUT my daughter's health is worth it. We met with Dr Milne who is very abrasive and intimidating. He spent the first 30 minutes talking about his daughter and his own personal life experiences and used the "Strength Test" method on my daughter to determine what she was allergic to or what supplements her body needed. I went along with the recommendations and he also requested a stool test. At the end of the 1st visit I was charged $595!!! PLUS $330 for stool test... PLUS $35 for his "BOOK" PLUS $122 for supplements. YES $882! Not covered by insurance!!!! YES you can imagine my shock! I was told the visit was extra long and that is why I was charged so much! Why was I charged for Dr. Milne telling Stories!!!???? So nearly $1,000 out of pocket on a visit. So Sad! NEXT - I was told the office received the stool test results and he wanted to discuss it. So I had to schedule another appointment. I was told she needed more supplements and was charged $325 for office visit and was asked to pay $300 for supplements. When I told them I couldn't afford all the recommended vitamins, I had to "PICK THE ONES" i thought were important. I then paid $173 for supplements. These were vitamins and mineral/enzymes. So another $500 Out of pocket!! Made me so upset to left the office feeling like I had just hustled! He's in control of the report, so I had to pay to get it! After all that - I went back to the office and asked for copies of my reports and I also asked 2 questions. Should I put my daughter on Protein supplements (she'd lost 30 lbs in 4 months and wasting away) and should I get her on something for her constipation. I was told that if I wanted to ask a question, I'd have to schedule a consult with Dr Milne and it would cost me $255!!!!! I was shocked and asked why they would charge me for asking questions?? I'd already paid for 2 doctor visits. I was told the Office Manager would call me back the next day to discuss my questions. No ONE ever called me back!! I am so disgusted by that office and will never go back! Typing this up makes my hands shake.
His practice is all about the MONEY! Not healing people. He only wants clients with Very Deep pockets and people who love his fluffly talk and chit chat about his person experiences. I know more about his daughter's selection for college than I know how to help my daughter! It was the worse case of money badly spent and it's at a critical time where I needed that money to help her get better. I was totally shafted - AND the supplements she's been on for a month haven't helped at all.
It is a crime that he continues to be in business and dupes the public as he does. I know it is tough finding answers, and Dr. Robert Milne preys on a patient's weakness when in need of care.
I use YELP to search for everything I need and I'm proud to be an active member. I'm disclosing my identity and my own experience in the hopes to warn others to be on guard.
