I have been having neurological symptoms, including fogginess, light sensitivity, constant headaches, dizziness and fatigue for 7 weeks now. I have had tests for everything including Lyme, which all came out negative.
I cannot help but want to talk to a Lymes Specialist and be tested with a better test since deer are constantly on my property and I exhibit many signs of Lyme Disease.
I am looking for a doctor in either NYC or White Plains area.
It would also be helpful if the doctor took Oxford insurance.
Thank you so much as I am desperate for a diagnosis.

I need to find a doctor in NYC that is lyme literate. he needs to accept insurance, called 1 office upstate NY, but i cannot afford to pay 900 per appointment plus tests and medicine, so insurance acceptance is essential. Why most doctors don't? Are there ny good doctor's and centers at NYU or Beth Israel? I need info, urgently. Thanks in advance!

I have only heard of one or two LLMDs who take insurance. They typically cannot take it because of the fear of losing their lisence.
Since the guidelines created to treat lyme disease ignore the truth about this disease and its necessary treatment, people cannot get well unless they are treated by a doctor who is lyme literate, and who treats appropriately.
If LLMDs took insurance, they would be at risk of having their medical lisences revoked. It is very wrong, but that is basically the reason. JL

That's not the only reason! LLMD's typically spend about two hours for the first visit, and insurance would pay for only 1/2 hour at most! So they can't get paid for the amount of time that this complex illness takes to accurately diagnose and treat. And follow-ups are often 1/2 hour or more, which is way more than a typical in-network visit would be.
