Thank you for your confidence in us …

We receive many nice comments about our center. Here are just a few:

Our clients love what we do for them.

 

“Hunter-Hopkins (the caring place)…a place for not giving up. The first stop for a new life.”

Pam D., Concord, NC

 

“Thank you for your kindness and concern… You have given me many positive things to work with both medically and emotionally to help me wrestle with the disease I thought no one would have anything more to offer.”

K. J., Nashville, TN

 

“I just wanted to…thank you for the outstanding service I received on my visit to your office. I appreciated how you made me feel and your personal approach. As you know it has been a very difficult road for me. After going to so many doctors that did not really understand CFIDS it was a true blessing to meet with a doctor and staff that did.”

W. W., Chattanooga, TN

 

“Helping me obtain disability gave me a sense of security and the ability to provide the “extras” for my children.Thank you and you staff for your many kindnesses over the past 20 years.”

J. E., Farmville, NC

 

“It’s not just the ‘taking care of’ that you do, it’s the listening, respecting, comforting, and caring.”

C. W., Atlanta, GA

 

“Being a nurse and having worked with many doctors …I know when someone is at the cutting edge and knows the state of the art of their specialty. You do. I am grateful. You have given me hope.”

A. K., Greenville, SC

“Thank you for what you do. I send you my heartfelt appreciation for your knowledge, tender care, and all you do for all of us facing the challenges of these diseases.”

M. K., Clinton Township, MI

 

“Words could never describe how thankful I am … I have never been able to find a doctor as understanding and knowledgeable… Can you be cloned?”

T. M., Staley, NC

 

“We are so thankful for all of your support and encouragement and wisdom.”

J. H., Alabama.

“Just a note to say thank you. I won my Social Security Disability appeal and I wouldn’t have won without the documentation that you provided.”

R. C.

 

“If “Thank You” came in colors, there would be an unending amount. I appreciate your time, care, and positive attitudes from each of those in your office…After enduring these conditions for years, I had reached the time in my life that there was no hope to “go on.” I felt your group depended on “spiritual” help as much as “physical science” knowledge! I returned to New Bern … like a different person.”

L. C., New Bern, NC

“…and thanks to all our patients and supporters, from whom we learn so much.

The Story of Hunter-Hopkins

The Hunter-Hopkins name derives from two individuals who were memorialized because of the invaluable lessons they taught to Dr. Lapp.

Linda Hopkins

Linda Hopkins presented to the emergency room complaining that she could not breath when she nodded off to sleep. As a result she had not slept in weeks. Other physicians had discounted her story as impossible, but Linda and her mother convinced Dr. Lapp to look into it further. Linda was hospitalized and monitored overnight. Sure enough, as soon as she nodded off, Linda went into respiratory arrest – a very severe form of sleep apnea now known as “Ondine’s Curse.” Once the problem was identified, Linda was fitted with a respirator to be used while sleeping. Lesson learned: listen to the patient.

Allison Hunter

Allison Hunter was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, but lived in Australia, where the providers of socialized medicine ‘did not believe’ in the diagnosis. As a result she was misnamed a malingerer, hysterical, or Munchhausen – a term reserved for individuals who purposely pretend to be sick. When Alli developed convulsions they were attributed to this ‘phantom illness’ and went untreated. As a result, she died during a grand mal seizure. Lessons learned: (1) diligently look into all complaints and don’t discount them, and (2) don’t trust socialized medicine.

Allison’s parents went on to found the Allison Hunter Memorial Foundation, which has promoted CFS throughout the Pacific Basin and provides superb seminars for practitioners to learn more about CFS and FM.

So we have admired and memorialized these two young women who taught us much about the importance of diligence and listening to the patient.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to exceeding our patients’ expectations by providing individualized, compassionate, empathetic, and timely care. Our goal is to improve the quality of our patients’ lives by providing the highest quality of advanced evidence-based diagnosis and treatment available.

The patient is our first priority; conquering CFS/ME/FM is our ultimate goal.

The Banyan Tree

We chose the banyan tree to represent our practice because the resilient and long lived banyan offers its shade as a safe and sheltered place for weary travelers and the banyan’s distinctive habit of sprouting new supportive roots from its branches reminds our clients to find and accept support for themselves.
