We employ skin testing and laboratory analysis to create personalized treatment plans. This approach helps manage chronic conditions exacerbated by allergic responses through targeted immunotherapy.

The day we went in, personnel was very friendly, helpful, etc. Afterwards, the billing and trying to get my husband's short term disability papers signed was a disaster. They've had the paperwork a week, and still hasn't been filled out. Thus, he's not getting paid. One person in the office was very rude to my husband when he inquired about it and we just get the run around when we call & ask - it's been passed on to so and so, it's a process. Beyond aggravating. They either don't know what they're doing, or they don't care.

I would have died back in 1992 were it not for Dr. Rea and EHCD. Transfer Factor, precursor to ALF, was the final piece in solving my EI puzzle. Today ALF is giving a much needed boost to my chemo ravaged immune system. RIP, Dr. Rea! You were a world leader in Environmental Medicine! I am eternally grateful to you for giving me back my life twice in the space of 26 years.

Best place in the world! They are passionate about what they do and helping people get better. I'm extremely grateful for this place! I felt like I was dying and kept going to the ER just to get sent back home. After one simple treatment I started to feel a difference! And after a week a significant difference! Everyone has different situations going on, but I promise you, there's hope. I thank Jesus for using these people and their knowledge, when all else fails.

Recently I have been to the EHC-D and seen two doctors, Dr. Seymour and Dr. McCarter. I have found both of them to be knowledgeable and practicing medicine like Dr. Rea did. Sadly Dr. Rea has passed on. He was a wonderful man and doctor who helped many people. Thank heavens his work is being carried on by other doctors who he trained. The staff of the EHC-D is still just as intelligent and helpful as they always were. It is great to see Dr. Rea's work being carried on.

Dr. Rea is my hero, and saved my sanity and life at EHC-D. We are all bio individuals and some of the nasty snotty reviews are from people who are likely trolls, or people who do not want to do the work. You do not get ill from exposure overnight and it takes a lot to recover. Some people like someone with cancer will likely not miraculously be cured using ALF. However, my immune function improved with that and other modalities after toxigenic mold and pesticide exposure about killed me.

I will miss Dr. Rea and mourn his passing. He spent most of his life helping people that modern big pharma medicine writes off if they cannot sell you drugs to mask your symptoms. I love you Dr. Rea rest with the angels, you deserve it

I'd be very cautious of this place. The other positive reviews must be from long ago. Dr Rae and Estella yelled at me and I was a new patient. I didn't feel very welcomed. Rae's health must have been failing. I thought the place should be shut down it was so chaotic in there. Beware. A couple doctors are taking over for him, but unless most of the staff are let go, no one will return calls or be able to answer medical questions when you're offsite unless they are totally retrained and held to some serious accountability. My health was at risk at this place.

A wonderful physician (former heart surgeon, I think); possessor of a wealth of knowledge and experience. He was extremely attentive, took his time, carefully listened to my complained and assessed the documentation I showed him; and advised a number of tests that I will complete when I feel again seriously concerning symptoms. The clinic is very nice, too, and the staff extremely professional and welcoming. Thank you, Dr. Rea.
