Actual Experiences

For many years doctors looked at me like I was crazy. They were outside their knowledge base. Dr. J, your treatment and care works. I have experience with being treated under other "guidelines" and they did not help me. However, under your care, I have regained almost all of my health. When you started treating me I could barely do anything and could not work. Now, I have completed law school and began my practice, working at least 55 hours a week, I'm working out and have gained almost 40 lbs. of muscle, and I feel great; I'm almost cured. No one see's anything wrong with me.

Naples Patient Review

Dr Schaller has to be the top doctor in the world. There is no doubt. After going from Doctor to doctor for a few simultaneous issues...when things got complex for me they quit. He was not quitter he persisted and made an action plan and basically saved my life and quality of life. I was not treated like a lab test or an x-ray. a Although we did do testing, he listened to my symptoms unlike others I had been to. I can't thank him enough for being my doctor.

MY NAPLES TRIP WORTH IT! JAMES SCHALLER, MD IS A TRUE LYME DISEASE TOP DOCTOR!

Dr Schaller is extremely knowledgeable about many conditions, not merely Lyme Disease, Babesia, Bartonella, Mold illness, Mystery Illness, and Severe Fatigue. He is an expert on medications, herbs, essential oils, and supplements needed to address them. He might select another expert to add to your care, but he never dumps you but asks the doctor to assist in 1-2 exact questions. Sometimes his 100 labs--done after eating and drinking over 6–8 weeks, as you prefer, he might want another opinion on a high;y complex lab. He does not order merely six tubes.
He is very thorough in his testing and ensures all issues are addressed, unlike other similar specialists. I spent at least 6 years with an undiagnosed issue that was increasing in severity very rapidly and becoming quite debilitating. After 20 doctors and specialists with no treatment or diagnosis, I was ready to give up. Was he worth the long drive from the panhandle of Florida? YES! He is a short drive south of Fort Myers and not too far from Fort Lauderdale.
In contrast to so many previous doctors, Dr Schaller covered all the bases and found issues that no one else had even tried to find. Some things had even been ignored by others. I am incredibly grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to others struggling to get a diagnosis and beneficial treatment. His team was very kind and helpful, and they had a nice range of options for Naples hotels near his lovely, calm office.

Before being treated by Dr. Schaller, I had been seen by well over 15 medical providers, ranging from rheumatologists, internal medicine GPs, cardiologists, dermatologists, etc. After an initial phone consult with Dr. Schaller, during which he reviewed the most comprehensive medical history questionnaire I have ever completed, we discussed past and present symptoms. He explained what I was experiencing, and genuinely assured me he could assist. I was accepted as a patient shortly thereafter. Unlike most practices that are months out for appointments, I was sitting in Dr. Schaller's office, across from the man himself, and not some nurse practitioner, within the week. This doctor is detail-oriented and thorough in his review of your medical history, listens intently, and leaves no stone unturned. He does not dismiss your concerns and is empathetic. He is well-researched and offers plausible explanations, backed by science, regarding your symptoms. At the end of this first appointment, I had hope that someday I would feel "normal" again. I knew there was a long road ahead, but I was no longer battling this alone. Thereafter, comprehensive labs confirmed my symptoms were due to several long-term and current co-infections related to Lyme. Surprisingly, Dr. Schaller was not greatly surprised by the laboratory results, as he had already deduced this by simply reviewing my medical history during our initial phone call and in-person visit. Significantly, before Dr. Schaller, although I had many symptoms that are common with Lyme and co-infections, not one practitioner over the years bothered to ask why. All just addressed the symptom but never sought to determine the underlying cause. My experience is such that while many medical providers claim to know how to treat patients with Lyme and related co-infections, Dr. Schaller's research and results are expanding and thriving, and they have been doing so for several decades. Dr. Schaller gave me an estimate of approximately one year for recovery under his protocol. However, I am just at the three-month mark, and the majority of my severe symptoms have improved collectively by 80-90%. In short, I feel incredibly blessed to be under his care. I am sure if I hadn't found Dr. Schaller and his team, I would either be hospitalized or on disability at some point very soon. If you are suffering from a chronic illness that could be related to Lyme disease and/or its co-infections or something similar, my advice is to stop wasting time and money with other providers. You must immediately seek the proper diagnosis and care from Dr. Schaller. I genuinely believe he has saved my life.

Dr. J is a genius. He has helped our entire family for the last 3 years. Lyme disease has affected us all differently. In my case, it affected the prostate and made me have several biopsies. It gave me tatachardia and other symptoms. Who would have thought that these infections, Lyme bartonella and babesia could be behind such symptoms? Dr. J knew it. Thank God that our family has been able to count on the greatest researcher not only in Lyme disease and its co-infections, but also in anti-aging and so many other areas of health. The way he knows how to read lab tests is ingenious. There is no one like him. The best investment I have ever made, consulting with Dr. James Schaller to find out how to proceed in the treatment of these infections. Great man, big heart, grateful.

El Dr. J es un genio. Ha ayudado a toda nuestra familia durante los últimos 3 años. La enfermedad de Lyme nos ha afectado a todos de manera diferente. En mi caso, afectó la próstata y me hizo tener varias biopsias. Me dio tatachardias y otros síntomas. ¿Quién hubiera pensado que estas infecciones, la bartonella de Lyme y la babesia podrían estar detrás de tales síntomas? El Dr. J lo sabía. Gracias a Dios que nuestra familia ha podido contar con el mayor investigador no solo en la enfermedad de Lyme y sus co-infecciones, sino también en antienvejecimiento y en tantas otras áreas de la salud. La forma en que sabe leer los análisis de laboratorio es ingeniosa. No hay nadie como él. La mejor inversión que he hecho, consultar con el Dr. James Schaller para saber cómo proceder en el tratamiento de estas infecciones. Gran hombre, gran corazón, agradecido.

More than a Doctor!

This is how I feel about Dr. Schaller and what he has done for me. I do not talk to him like a person I see for five minutes. Here is an example from my recent email exchange about my upcoming appointment: I'm just overall SUPER excited to tell you and show you my improvement! Although I'll be in Florida for my uncle's wedding, my appointment with you is just as exciting for me; I can't wait for you to see how much better I am and thank you in person for everything you've done this past year. (My whole family actually wishes that they could do the same, but you'll just have to take my word for it!) You've saved my life! I never would of dreamed that only a year later I would have made such progression and have my HOPE regained once again! I know you hear it all the time from patients, but because of YOU I am able to once again contribute to this world, believe in myself, see a future filled with hope, and most importantly - be the mother to my son that I once was. Recently my 11 yr old - Trent- told me just that and said he can't wait to do things together like we "used to." I'm afraid to imagine what my life would be like now if not for the serendipity of finding you."I know he sounds "too good to be true," but I am a living testimony to the man's skills. ALL doctors should operate the way Dr.J does: listen to their patients and more than just 5-20 minutes, treat each patient and their illness on an individual level AND be available to their patients 24/7.

Outstanding physician gives compassionate cutting edge care Mar 22nd, 2012

Dr. Schaller is extremely knowledgeable in his field and was the first doctor of many to accurately diagnose and treat my conditions. I would and have recommended him to many. I have since taken 2 of my 4 ill children to see him, and hope to get my other 2 to see him in the future. He listens, takes time with you, and does an appropriate work up. He emphasizes patient education and safety. Dr. Schaller was the first doctor to address my depression and chronic pain, as well as ordering other treatments, some very innovative, for symptom management and comfort. I bless him every day for his compassion and thoughtfulness. He has given my family hope for healing and a brighter future.

Dr. Schaller is My Guardian Angel

Hi Dr J, I just to let you know I gave thanks for having you as my guardian angel. Thanks for being there to talk to whether I paid or not.... Sometimes I feel like I could be my own doctor somewhat. It is nice to have your real help and concern many seasons after our last session. Simply, no physician has one treated me like you. Thanks to you for teaching me how to be an educated patient. I feel blessed to have crossed paths with you. I would probably be dead by now if not for you. That you were seriously suspicious and nagged nicely, and your routine follow up made me realize this is not casual. I am not trying to give you a big head (ha,ha) but you truly are the best. Love always, Ms. Daniel, Maryland

My son has been diagnosed with ADHD and depression, allergies, oppositional defiant disorder and we had seen many doctors and alternative care practitioners. Although we tried many different medications we continued to see little or no improvement, until we saw Dr. Schaller. I have found him to be caring, honest and committed to helping my son get better. I have seen definite and continuing improvement in just a couple of months and we are excited to continue this journey.

Thank you and many blessings to Dr. J.
