Dr. Steven Bock, MD

Runs a very dishonest practice. Ran up upwards of $3,000 of office visits and tests for my mother and refused to treat her for Lyme disease which is supposed to be his specialty. He should not have a license. His office staff is also extremely rude.

As a retired nurse I have met my share of arrogant Doctors. He is the winner ! Dr Bock couldn't be bothered to wear his mask properly ! He couldn't be bothered to listen to my concerns about my treatment . he couldn't be bothered to review my lab work , I was never told about my low b12 and D levels. . I would never recommend him !

Horrible experience after thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars I found no help. He was so mean and nasty to me from the moment I met him. He doesn’t explain anything and he charges you $500 every time you have a question $650 every time you do an ozone treatment. I had taken some line tests that I couldn’t even send out of my state I had to go to a different state to mail them and they came back showing I had three strands of a tickborne illness I got into yell infectious disease the next week and they retested me and said I had nothing and that these tests were questionable. I brought him 800 pages of my medical report and asked for them back he said I couldn’t but it’s $.75 a copy they would be happy to give them to me I told them you guys are all about money and their responses nothing is free.

My wife and I met with Dr. Bock in person on 2/24/20 for addressing my wife's lyme condition in Santa Monica. The charge was $1200 for roughly an hour. He was supposed to have looked over all the labs and paperwork on his flight from NY to LA, but that had not happened. He was uncaring, curt, provided no help, but said he would follow up in 3 days when he got back to NY with direction. On March 3rd days after his promise, we had a phone consult for another $300 and it was unhelpful. His office sent a supplement but she couldn't take it because there were ingredients she couldn't take. I eventually sent it back to their NY office and had to call them and ask for credit for the roughly $75 supplement since I had not heard from them. The item was not going to expire for another 6 months, but the lady said it was beyond their return policy, but she would check with the office manager. I never heard back from her. It appears it's not helping people but all about the money for this practice.

i like Dr. Bock and saw him for lyme. i however felt that he does not communicate well with a patient as to why he is proposing certain treatments or supplements. I also found that the staff was not good at relaying messages back to Dr. Bock and i would have to ask multiple times when i had a question. He mostly used naturopathic means of getting well and not antibiotics - if that is your preference he is good to see. i was not getting well so i switched to a dr that uses abx and naturopathic

Although he has some knowledge base, his lack of concern for patients, the unconscionable fees, terrible staff, depressing office, and dismissive manner made for a terrible experience. Most of the time spent was him typing into his iPad, non verbal, short appointment. Cost was exorbitant with so little care. He seems to fall in the class of LLDs who is clearly motivated by money. Ultimately, very disappointing.

Dr. Steven Bock is an excellent doctor! His knowledge of Lyme Disease goes above and beyond any other MDI have ever encountered. He saved my life and I am truly grateful for his services. Lyme is a complex disease which needs a specialist in order to recover. In my opinion there is no other that understands, listens and actually addresses it with care and compassion. He takes an integrative approach if so desired which is sometimes frowned upon but very much a crucial part when treating.

After four years of treatment we never got any better. He has a doctors mill type practice with no real concern for his patients. Going to a new doctor now and finally getting results.
