We felt that the primary goal of Dr Grout was to separate us from our money rather than healing. Very high rates for everything from blood draws to brief phone consults. $145 to take a vial and prep it, $800 for a test that the lab that would actually process it advertises at $500. After a number of 'tests' that were basically quackery, Dr Grout recommended a risky procedure for a diagnosis that is no longer recognized as valid. I would not recommend.

I was diagnosed with West Lyme's disease on October 21, 2016 in my home town of California. I was sent by my doctor to an infectious disease specialist. The problem that occurred for me at this time was that there was not a specialist who truly met my care expectations of treating this disease. They all wanted to send me off with a Doxy med and best wishes of there is no treatment for recovery.
This facility, Arizona Center for Advanced Medicine has treated my disease with detailed information, specific care plans, the utmost personal care, treatment program exactly for my personal needs, and straightforward counseling, and monitoring. The Dr. Martha Grout is directly involved in my treatment plan, updates, and status.
Every patient I have seen here since my treatment plan began have also been treated in this manner -- individually for there specific treatment needs.
I am improving greatly and hope for a full and complete result of wellness from this horrible bacteria and my personal symptoms. I feel this way because I can see, feel, and understand whats is happening to my body, what it will take to manage my condition, and what range of results I can expect from my treatments. And because I greatly respect and trust my doctor to care I recover to the best possible state of wellness.
Thank you AZCAM! I look forward to getting back to my full lifestyle because I came right away upon diagnosis. And because I believe I am being treated the best way possible from your facility. And because I am getting better, when I see other people around me in this town and where I stay that are seeking care for the same disease I have, at other places, and not improving as I have from being here.
Thank you AZCAM. I am so grateful!

This is one of the few places that I would send someone I love to receive treatment for a serious condition such a cancer or Lyme disease. As a medical student I did a rotation through this clinic and found their staff and faculty exceptional. Come to the clinic and check it out for yourself.

When I was diagnosed with Lyme disease, my first concern was where I could find treatment. Research brought me to the Arizona Center for Advanced Medicine (AZCAM), which is under the direction of Dr. Martha Grout. After having a port put in for easy access during treatment, I began a 2 month course of IV antibiotics, administered competently and efficiently by the AZCAM med techs. The IV room was comfortable, but lacked a TV, which would have provided a diversion from the long hours of daily treatment. In addition to the required antibiotics for Lyme treatment, Dr. Grout, who oversees each patient's progress, prescribed a regimen of IV vitamins and immune boosting amino and Lipoic acids. Weekly blood draws assured that the patient was responding well to treatment. AZCAM's goal is to give each patient the best shot at regaining their health. At he end of treatment, the AZCAM doctors follow up on the patient's continuing recovery, and are available by phone or email if needed. On a personal note, getting treatment for my Lyme was the best decision I made regarding my health! I feel 95% recovered, and have returned to my normal, active life! The biggest downside to Lyme treatment is that it is VERY EXPENSIVE, and most of the protocol, including the weekly blood work, was NOT covered by our insurance.

my doctor suggested some natural medicines which are available in the office for my ibs, and also suggested Rifaximin, which he did not appear to know very much about. the front desk is very sweet. treatment and care is very expensive. my mom and i are not sure how we feel about this place.
