- Good point. Even if a "list" or a few names of LLMD are shared from here - one should do follow up to be sure those names ARE of real LLMDs. Since this lists are compiled from suggestions - sometimes, other names get on to referral lists, with non-LLMDs or a MD who is only marginally lyme literate. And the lists are not necessarily a complete listing.
By checking with local support groups - or in the area around where the doctor on the list works - one can get better first hand feedback. It's always good to check with many sources. -

To find your STATE Lyme Disease Association-
Web search: [your state], ``Lyme Disease Association'' and be sure that group is ILADS-minded
California - Lyme Disease Association (CALDA) is a non-profit corporation acting as the central voice for all tick-borne disease issues.
When you get a doctor's name, be sure to check about their being what we call ILADS-educated or ILADS-minded. Talk to your local support groups, call the doctor's office and talk with the office manager about the doctor's affiliations and experience so that you might find a "good fit" for your particular case.
Topic: How to find an ILADS-educated lyme literate (LL) professionals in these areas:

It's very important to have this book as a reference tool for self-care and support measures. It answers so many questions in detail that is impossible here on the forum.
This book is based on interviews with 13 Lyme-Literate Health Care Practitioners. Each practitioner is given one chapter in which to share their healing strategies
