Kalb Daniel B MD

I contacted Dr. Kalb’s office last year to see about getting a consultation to ask if it was safe for me to take herbs for my tick borne diseases with me also having a right parieto occipital srter malformation. Then I also wanted to ask which herbs I could try for the tick borne diseases and I also want to know what dosages of herbs that I should try. I was told that a consultation would cost $450 and it required a $100 or $150 non refundable deposit. I am on SSI so I do not have that amount of extra funds. I took out a loan for other reasons and I had the $450. I called the office and asked if I could pay the full amount up front and they said yes so that the loan money would not sit in my account and be counted as income. I then proceeded to purchase some herbs and started taking them. I started to bruise badly. Then I remembered being told by my neurosurgeon that bruising easily is a sign that something could be happening with my avm. I called my neurosurgeon and my cardiologist. I was able to get an appointment with my cardiologist but it was on the same day as my proposed appointment with Dr. Kalb was. I called and canceled the appointment with Dr. Kalb. I then found out through some of my other providers and someone with Dr. Rawl’s office that herbs can thin the blood. I was warned by my neurosurgeon that I can not take anything that thins or thickens the blood due to my avm. I called the office several times and asked if I could have a partial refund since I was not to take any herbs due to my avm. I also left several messages asking about a partial refund. I was never told why I could not have a partial refund.

I've searched for 12 years for a doctor who will: a) listen, and b) help. So very grateful to have found Dr. Kalb.

I wasn't totally sold on the Bone and Joint Institute in Franklin at first... then I met Dr.Zachary Kalb. He's the group's physiatrist and an serious expert in epidural spinal injections and other injections that help folks like me avoid surgery. My spinal injections took me from horrifying numbness in my legs to something that's manageable--and pain basically free. When I first met Dr. Kalb, I had difficulty walking--now, I'm walking at a brisk pace and jogging on the treadmill for 60-70 minutes every single day! Dr. K also hooked me up with one of their physical therapists who was absolutely wonderful! I've been to PT at Star and PT at St. Thomas and neither did any more for me than I could figure out myself by watching a couple YouTube videos. The PT at Bone and Joint worked on me AND, more importantly, have taught me how to start helping myself. They offered me an opportunity to take an active role in my health care, effectively making me a partner in my own recovery. Gotta say, I recommend the B&J Inst. wholeheartedly, especially because of Dr. Kalb and their Physical Therapy floor (yes! they have an entire floor dedicated to PT!). Check them out--you won't be sorry!

I want to thank this doctor for being so brave and going against the grain. This doctor has put EVERYTHING on the line to actually help children and adults. If you think that's easy your wrong. It takes alot of courage and facing opposition to tell the TRUTH. To hear the TRUTH and be receptive to it. Thank you for doing what is right. Thank you for actually listening. Thank you for being a good doctor. Thank you for actually caring about your patients. This mom is forever grateful that doing the next right thing still exists.
