James R Privitera, MD

I can’t believe he passed away!!! He was the best Doctor!!! My only Doctor! God rest his soul. I don’t know if I will find a doctor like him again.

My heart is very sad with the news of dr. Privitera passing. He helped me with my low thyroid. I meet him in 2009 and i was so ill and he gave me hope and the right amount of thyroid medicine that i needed. God bless u and know that now that your in heaven u will be missed here on earth. I will miss your great stories and the great info. U would share. Thank u dr. Privitera RIP

I just called the office to make an appointment with Dr. P. I had to hang up when I was told he passed away. I can’t stop crying. When I saw him last I told him I love him… like I have every single year that I have seen him and I have seen him since I was in my early 30’s — that would make it 30 years of seeing the best doctor on earth. He saved my life 3 times. He was a true and real «Doctor» who actually cared for his patients and looked for root causes of issues instead putting a band aide over the problem. I will miss him as I have never missed anyone in my life. My husband felt the same way about him. When he saw Dr. P at the first of this year, he said to him, «Dr. P you can’t leave us ever. What would we do without you?» Dr. P’s response was, «I am not afraid, I will go when the Lord calls me. I’ve done all I can in this life.» Now I wonder if he new he was ill. He is with the Lord, His gain our loss. Dr. P was truly a tool of our Heavenly Father. I will miss Dr. P in this life but look forward to seeing him when Messiah rules and reigns in the next. What a good man he is.

Dr. Privitera was the real doctor of our age that everyone really wanted and hoped would be their doctor. He was honest, receptive, dedicated and respected the feedback of his patients. He felt that the body was intelligent. He was personable, intellectually sharp, a fighter for health freedom and for his patients to be fully informed in order to make their own best health choices.
He was a whole systems thinker and really understood how the entire biological system was impacted and connected; for example; how radiation from smart meters, cell towers, cell phones and even for cancer patients really impacted the body. He dealt with veterans suffering from Gulf War Syndrome and kept many of them alive for years when they should have died.
He knew how chemicals that are deadly to all biological systems that make people sick are sprayed down upon everyone and were making so many people sick. He tested his patients so that they knew what was in their bodies.
He was always learning and was not ashamed to be wrong. His patients loved him. I have never seen so many grateful people in his waiting room.
He worked and communicated with others all over the world to bring us a synthesis of what we need to be optimally healthy today. Other doctors all over the world called him. He showed up at conferences to share his discoveries and findings to raise our awareness as much as he could.
He was the best doctor I have ever had in my entire life. The vacuum that is left with his unexpected passing is beyond words.
Here’s my tribute to him for those of you who would like to hear more about him:

My rating is still five stars, five stars in Heaven. I just found out today that Dr. Privitera died. He was a great person, a great doctor. He was not a primary care physician; however, I told him he was mine, because there was no one else here I could trust. He had such a huge amount of knowledge about alternative medicine, I knew we were usually on the same page and I didn’t have to argue with him over useless medical treatments. He was my doctor for 16 years. My condolences go out to his family, at least they have years of good memories to console them.

Dr Privitera was an inspiring, unconventional doctor, who knew his stuff and applied what he knew to his patients. Unfortunately, he passed away Sept 23, I just now found out.

Best doctor visit I ever had. Also a doctor with a genuinely warm, friendly and fun-​loving personality. You’re not going to be recieiving any toxic drugs, shots, pills or other pharma-​dope here, and it’s not the buttoned-​up, painfully antiseptic type of office you might be predisposed to, it’s more on the lived in, comfy side but they know what they’re doing. Dr. Privitera specializes in darkfield microscopy (live blood cell analysis), so you can see your living, moving blood in real time, and what kind of condition it’s in, including anything that’s swimming around in it (and if you want you can take home a little baby snapshot of it.) He does hair analysis and urine toxicology tests too, which you can also opt in or out of. Ultimately he understands which vitamins/​minerals will get you to where your body needs to be, and if you want to buy them there, they have most of them in stock — if not, no pressure, they’ll still give you the list with their own prices written in (25% off for patients) so you can shop around if you’d rather wait to buy them on your own. They will tell you on the phone he doesn’t diagnose you, although I did see some of the patients in there with pretty heavy issues while I was in, (cancer, etc) and they all seemed to have nothing but love for him and the office. I can see why. All the patients seemed very comfortable there, and the entire office tends to speak to you in terms you can understand, rather than doc-​speak. They woman behind the desk before I left explained to me each and every supplement and vitamin he spoke to me about, and then wrote them all out by hand so I could research them myself.
Here’s a link if you want to see some of his conference talks and interviews:
No insurance taken, but you can submit some forms to your insurance later on as suggested. I had all 3 tests done and it was just over $ 200 for the entire visit.
Especially a great doc for people who appreciate alt health. Even my husband liked him, (and he doesn’t like most doctors). I asked what he thought about Dr. Bob Beck, and he mentioned he had him as a patient 10 years ago. Very knowledgeable guy.
Going back soon for hair test results. (they send them out to a lab).
I was so surprised there was only one review here for him! Very glad I went.
