Dr M was able to diagnose a tick-borne disease which a family member was struck down with a few years back. It was not LYME but another disease in the same class.

Please know this is a review of Dr. Magaldi and not his staff. Dr. Magaldi is irresponsible and is more interested in making money (bilking insurance companies and the federal government) than he is helping his patients. In an attempt to win over his patients trust, he employs a fake caring attitude and overprescribes them drugs to make them happy. These are not just my opinions, they are supported by the US Attorney's Office and former employees. Here's an excerpt from the 9/22/2010 edition of The Register Citizen that documents his fraudulent activities:

"David B. Fein, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, today announced that Arthritis And Allergy Associates, P.C., with offices located at 538 Litchfield St., has entered into a civil settlement agreement with the government to resolve allegations that the medical practice violated the False Claims Act by submitting false claims to the Medicare program.

According to the government’s allegations, from 2004 through 2009, Arthritis And Allergy Associates, P.C. improperly billed the Medicare program for facet joint blocks/injections (treatment relating to back pain) that were not performed using fluoroscopic guidance (real-time radiologic imaging). The government has further alleged that, from 1999 through the first quarter of 2009, Arthritis And Allergy Associates improperly billed the Medicare program for services rendered by unlicensed individuals."
