I am seeking a Lyme specialist near home. There is a Doctor in Pa that works through Allegheny hospital that claims to be a Lyme expert My sister keeps asking me to make an appointment but before I get my hopes up or waste more time and money, I was hoping for some feedback from those of you who may know Please PM me with any info on Dr. K. if you have any Thanks

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.
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.
[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] -
