If I could give 0 stars to Dr. Liss, I would. 2 min. visit with me for a new inflamed nodule and his response was “I don’t know what this is". A month later I came for an annual exam and he didn’t even look at this nodule, didn’t come up with any ideas what the nodule might be. Nothing. This nodule is still bothering me, still inflamed. I started my own research. Turns out, most likely it is a granuloma, a nodule caused by a lingering inflammatory reaction to the tick’s mouthparts. I told Dr. Liss at the first appointment about finding a tick earlier in the spot of the nodule, but he completely dismissed the relationship between the tick and the inflamed nodule. Instead of dismissing it, he should have recommended to me to do the blood test to rule out the Lyme disease. But, he didn’t do any of it. Nothing. What did I pay him for? I want my co-pay back. It is like a conveyor belt in there: many different doctors, 2 min. appointments, nobody cares if you get your questions answered.
