Dr. Bateman has diagnosed, tested, encouraged, directed my ME/CFS for decades. I have appreciated her oversight, skill and knowledge. Often there are problems that may or may not be associated with the illness, and she is quick to monitor, refer and advise. Besides that, she understands how emotional and mental health are effected by the disease. Her advocacy for the illness and for me, individually, has been, yes literally, lifesaving.
Its been years since Ive seen her, but she was outstanding.
My wife has been a patient of Lucinda Batemans for 11 years, and she has felt very fortunate to have been. Lucinda is extremely knowledgeable about the chronic illnesses: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyalitis (sp?), Fibromyalgia and other related illnesses. She is a leader in the field--literally. Her attitude and communication with all her patients is very commendable.
Shes great!Richard Podell, MD
