Dr. Makous gets 5 stars from me! She is a Lyme disease specialist and is very skilled in mental health. Dr. Marina has been taking care of my family for years now and this review is long overdue. I’m just so GRATEFUL right now because thanks to her my mom was able to sleep through the night after months of suffering! It’s rare these days to meet a doctor who takes her time to understand what’s going on. Because she takes the time, I think she gets to the root of the problem. She was able to help my mom when 3 other doctors failed. I think the others were all focusing on their narrow expertise instead of treating my mom as a whole person. Dr. Marina pulled the different symptoms together (pain, nausea, restlessness, weight loss). Maybe because of her broad training, she is very knowledgeable about stuff outside Lyme as well. She’s also nurturing, very analytical and thoughtful, and non-judgmental. When I went to her years ago, it was easy for me to talk to her about my symptoms (the other doc reacted as if I was crazy) without feeling judged. I wish doctors like her were in-network, but that’s coming from someone who’s been getting care from in-network providers with insurance paying. Most Lyme docs don’t accept insurance. Before starting with Dr. Marina, I did check a few others and found that compared to most, her fees are reasonable. Having been helped by her when in crisis, I think her expertise is worth it.

I came to Dr. Makous with strange and debilitating symptoms after I had been to a number of other doctors, who were unsuccessful at treating me. I found Dr. Makous’s medical knowledge to be vast and her manner to be warm and nurturing. I am happy to write that under her care, I have been in recovery for a few months now and I plan to stay with her until I am fully recovered. I am so glad I found her! I don’t think I could have gotten this level of care anywhere else!
Before I found Dr. Makous, I had gone from being a normal functioning person to nearly bedbound over the course of a few months. I had many visits with other so called \experts\ who were unable to diagnose my debilitating symptoms. Dr. Makous was able to use her diagnostic skills to quickly identify that I suffered from a common Lyme co infection. She is the only doctor I saw who actually LISTENED to me. She is easy to talk to and showed me caring and compassion both during my illness and recovery. I can honestly say that I do not think I would be here to write this if it wasn't for her. My family and I are forever grateful.
Dr Makous saved my son when he had Lyme disease. He is now Lyme free. We don’t know what we would have done without her as no other doctor had diagnosed his illness correctly. She has a vast knowledge not only of the treatment of Lyme but also it’s psychological effects. She also never over prescribes medicine. She knows when to give antibiotics and when to stop. My son needed a one month treatment with antibiotics each year for a three year period. After three years his Lyme has now gone. We trust her implicitly as she has proven to be right in her judgements each time. She also diagnosed my husband with a staff infection when it had wrongly been dismissed as just an insect bite. She has come to the rescue so many times always with kindness and compassion. Her vast array of knowledge has saved the day many times. When I was diagnosed with Long Covid recently, Dr Makous gave me so many recommendations for supplements and medicines that really helped my symptoms. We are so incredibly grateful to her and value her expertise in having the right tests done each time and her expertise in reading the test results. There is a reason people fly all the way from Europe to see her about Lyme. She is simply the best doctor one could ask for. We feel so lucky to have found such a brilliant and caring doctor. She has literally saved our lives.
I started seeing Dr. Makous after several experiences with other Lyme doctors that felt inconsistent or unhelpful. Upon meeting, I immediately felt like I was in good hands. In addition to her extensive experience, Dr. Makous is extremely thorough, treats her patients holistically, and consistently takes time to ensure I’m comfortable and understand next steps whenever we meet. I have never left an appointment with Dr. Makous feeling unclear or like I had questions that went unanswered. Since starting to see Dr. Makous almost two years ago, I am extremely grateful to say that my Lyme symptoms are stable, and I feel like I am back to my baseline physically and emotionally. I would recommend Dr. Makous to anyone struggling with Lyme and/or Lyme coinfections who feels ready to tackle next steps alongside a caring and extremely intelligent doctor.
