Hi, my wife got a large rash on her hip that we thought was a spider bite. Turns out it was a Lyme tick according to urgent care clinic. She is 15 days into a 21 day doxy treatment.
We would like to find a LLMD near Norwich, CT if possible to evaluate this further before it gets to far.
We are looking forward to any advise.
Thank you,

The bull's-eye rash is definitive for Lyme. Your wife needs to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease!
When calling for an appointment, ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in sooner by doing this.
Most LLMDs do not accept insurance due to the politics surrounding this horrible disease.
