My daughter is 18 years old and has been diagnosed with Lyme and bartonella for over a year. I would like to find a qualified physician. She has been treated in terms of strengthening her immune system with acupuncture but still needs a doc who is well-versed in Lyme and tick borne illness as she still is not feeling well and having issues and complications.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for PA & MD.
Your dear daughter needs to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!
A LLMD is one who has treated Lyme disease and the co-infections which come with it for many years and has gotten patients well. A good one will follow Dr. B's Guidelines, the "gold standard" for Lyme treatment.
Unfortunately, LLMDs are far and few between. You need to go where they are.
Also most LLMDs do not accept insurance due to the politics surrounding this horrible disease. Read poster TF's explanation, "Why Lyme Doctors Don't Take Insurance":
