I am looking for a doctor in southern Maryland, St. Mary's county if possible. My mother has lyme and her current doc is considering the issue resolved after 1 round of Doxycycline.

Your Mom needs to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment! One round of Doxycycline is nowhere near enough!!
They are far and few between, unfortunately. She needs to go where they are.
Most LLMDs do not accept insurance due to the politics surrounding this horrible disease. Read poster TF's explanation, "Why Lyme Doctors Don't Take Insurance":
When calling for an appointment, ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in sooner to see a LLMD by doing this.
