We went to Dr Rhodes at his urging to get to Texas as quickly as possible to help my daughter with her RSD pain. Wow, were we shocked at the shabby clinic. His website promised much more than he offered including a special cream and magnets. When we got there, these items which were exclusive to him and important for the success of treatments (according to the website) were 'no longer in use due to supply issues'.
We had to buy the machine with no promise of money back, pay $20 for each protocol change and told to wait wait wait, these things take time.

After speaking to several other former patients I am most unimpressed. We were not offered our money back. Only told we could trade it in for the latest and greatest machine. He has taken RSD of his board and not touts Muscular Dystrophy. After doing 30 min worth of internet research, I see that the MD community is upset with him as well. I went to his Facebook page but you cannot make any comments or start discussions there. It seems like he will only let those patients speak up who have had good results.

He repeatedly would not answer my calls and Texas Blue Cross complained about his repeatedly late filing of claims. I am so sorry to be out so much money for treatment that did not work. As I understand it per the Muscular Dystrophy site, Dr Rhodes now has lawyers going after people who have anything negative to say about the treatment. Sad, with conditions as serious as this, that we are not able to share our experiences, both positive and negative without fear of legal action.

Nice guy, not so great treatment.
