How old is your daughter? Most lyme doctors have age limits, so we have to know.

She has just turned 18, away at college and in the throws of full blown symptoms during finals week. I am anxious to find a great LLMD in Montgomery County or the surrounding environs. Thanks

Your dear daughter 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!
They are far and few between, unfortunately. You need to go where they are.
Also 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.
