Eric P. Dorninger, ND

Had my 15 minute phone "interview" with Dr. Dorninger to see if I was a "fit for him". That should've been an indication that he's not the right person for me to work with, cocky attitudes are not appealing at all to me, but I was hopeful as I'd heard he's helped others with mold, and has done talks about SIBO, and I've tested positive for both. However, during the 15 minute conversation he hardly let me get a word in edgewise when he went on a rant about the inaccuracy of the tests I'd had performed, though they were the first results that I've had in years of trying to find answers, and treating them has seemed to help my symptoms quite a bit. I just wanted guidance on how to work with multiple diagnoses and my (much more humble!) naturopathic doctor suggested I seek a specialist. Anyway, when the 15 minutes was up, and I'd barely just started talking about my symptoms - only scratched the surface of them actually - he cut me off and said simply that all the other diagnoses I've been given are wrong and that my problem is "hypothalamus dysregulation". Really? You think you know my problems well enough, after only hearing a partial list of my symptoms, that you think you can diagnose me with perfect confidence? I don't think so. After the call, I did some research about hypothalamus dysregulation, and I only have about half of the symptoms and the tests that are usually run for it are all completely normal - my docs have already checked for those things. Needless to say, I won't be wasting the $2000-3000 up front for testing that's expected before I'm "privileged enough" to work with you. I'll be finding someone else who actually listens to their patients.
