He IS expensive. That's all I know. Have you tried Dr H or Dr R?

I've heard he is very good, he's fairly local to me, about 45 minutes south, but I see Dr. C in Mt. Kisco NY, they're all expensive.

Well, first, I am sorry to hear about your daughter. I can really understand how you feel. Nothing is worse than watching our kids suffer.
Dr. L. is incredibly expensive.
Have you thought about taking her to Dr. J in CT?? He is WONDERFUL and not nearly as expensive.

Thanks for the advice.
I have PM'd all who had suggestions looking for contact info for these docs.
I guess I will see who has the first available appointment.
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. N has late stage neuro lyme. She can no longer care for herself, bedridden, and her pain in so intense she can not stand it anymore.

Hi,
Just sent you a PM.

I take my daughter to see Dr. L, he is a brilliant LLMD...we have seen many.
You need to factor in that the first appt. is 3-4 hours long...again $400/hour....which seems to be the going rate for most LLMDs. It s a very through evaluation, no stone left unturned.
The saying "You get what you pay for" applies 100% in our experience with LLMDs.
PM me if you'd like more info, or any questions answered.
Out of state prices may be different, or work differently, I don't know. I live in NY.

I have an appointment for N w/ Dr. L Jan 29 and am on the waiting list for earlier.
Doesanybody know what lab tests you get for $3000?
