i am moving to sunrise florida to be closer to family and am in need of a lyme dr THAT TAKES INSURANCE..i cannot stress this enough...i cannot see a true llmd because i went broke and bankrupt and had to stop treatment and am now unable to care for myself and have to move closer to family to florida.
I did a search on the LDA site, which is ridiculous that they limit you to 3 searches at a time, but anyways...
I so wish I could mention names here so we all know who I am talking about......i don't know if these drs take insurance and i have to call but so far i have
dr P Sunrise (female) Dr C (boca raton) male and hispanic name Dr. LaP.... also south florida(male) Dr. C...tampa bay (male)
The lda rep gave me the last name and he does takeinsurance but is 4 hrs from where i will be and i have no way of getting there...i know beggers can't be choosers but if I cannot get there, it is pointless to get a referral...the only family i have there will be working and already told me all my drs need to be very close because they will not be able to take much time off.
And as much as I know everyone loves to share good drs...PLEASE do not flood this thread with names of drs who do not take insurance...yes...nothing more worth it than health but money doesn't fall from trees and flooding me with drs who don't take insurance would be like putting chocolate cake in front of someone who cannot eat sugar ever again
Thanks for any info and feel free to email me privately if you have any info on any of these drs...if they take ins, do iv, are stricly conventional, etc etc.

I'm very sorry to hear about your current situation. I can only offer you the Florida LLMD list. I hope you can find someone on the list to help you. Perhaps someone else will stop by with some ideas and information.
Also contact your local Lyme support group, which can be found on the left hand side of this site. I hope you will get further help there.

Sorry but there is only one good lyme doc in Florida. Most people in Florida have to go out of state for their treatment.
The one doc is mentioned in the Burrascano guidelines on page 16:
Florida is really a bad choice for someone with lyme.

umm...thanks for the warning about florida but that is where my family is.

Posted by TF (Member # 14183) on :
Florida is a bad choice because there is only one good lyme doctor in the entire state.
