I sent you a list for PA. Unless I overlooked it, I did not see a DR K that you mentioned.

I don't know of ANY LLMD's who are associated with hospitals. They would not be able to treat for more than 4 wks, if that.

No true ILADS educated LLMD is associated with any hospital, that is true. Links below explain why. Share with those who want to learn more.

Connect with the ILADS "minded" lyme support groups in your area / region for details with your options.

What is a LLMD? LL ND? What is ILADS?

WHY you need an ILADS "educated" or "minded" Lyme Literate doctor (whether MD or ND, or both) - starting with assessment / evaluation for lyme, OTHER tick-borne diseases, and other chronic stealth infections - and all that goes along for the ride.

Medical "models" explained here, as to differences in the ISDA & ILADS models of assessment & treatment - and exactly why it is so very important to know the differences.

Topic: Is being a member of ILADS enough?

[No, yet that knowledge base presented at ILADS conferences and in papers is a vital start whether they are a member or ILADS or not - here's why]

Check the online state Lyme groups at:

Maybe they can help.
