Dr? knackmuhs changed my life and not for the better. Arrogant, close minded and 100% wrong. He actually said my CDC positive Lyme test was a false positive in 2006 And told me not to take the antibiotics. 10+ miserable yrs later I was told I had it then and now. He's worse than the tick that bit me. Lyme disease is the worst health issue in this country. And with doctors like knackmuhs will remain that way.

Do not go to this guy. He doesn't listen, doesn't care, rushes you out, and doesn't properly do anything for examination. Do not go.

i should have listened to a review I read because it was dead on. This guy should not be a Doctor. He couldn't care less and he is rude.

This Dr may be the worst Dr ever. He completely misdiagnosed me because his education and knowledge is it up to date. He either needs to go back to school, read or retire. On top he is rude and arrogant.
