Looking for LLMD in Northeast who accepts insurance

[NancyD]

I have a friend who lives in MA and is looking for an LLMD or integrative MD experienced in treating TBIs and accepts insurance. NE is preferred but she will travel to NY, NJ, PA, MD, DE, VA and surrounding areas. Child has PANDAS/ASD and I'm sure Lyme/Bartonella. Have seen photos of her rashes on cheeks, bottom of feet, hips, and back of knees. The doctor MUST accept insurance.

 

Any referrals would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am pming you a name. He is a pediatric infectious disease doc who is fairly Lyme Literate (most are not) and I know he sees quite a number of pts withs Lyme patients. The cons with this approach are they will have an average time visit with doctor (10 minutes probably) and I am not sure if he would be a great long term solution, I do not know his stance on long term antibiotics because I have gone on to non insurance docs, but at least he could get them started. He is an excellent diagnostician and diagnosed things in both my children that have been extremely helpful, we would have gone in circles for I don't know how long without him, he does not treat PANDAS as he referred us to Dr B for that. Dr. B. takes insurance and is familar with treatment for Lyme/Bart, but is not focused on Lyme,. Long wait list but maybe can get in to see PA, with us that is what we did and then alternate appointments with him.

 

I would highly recommend posting on the find a doctor Flash Forum of Lymenet.org along with emailing TBDA alliance for names, TBDS maintains a list.

Good luck to your friend.
