See my post of concern and caution about SHEA here:
I do not know this person but with IDSA affiliations with Dumler and I. Schwartz I would be very cautious.

Dr. Shea is a wonderful Dr. who does a lot of advocating free of charge of families he doesn't know and volunteers for many other fund raising grps that are contributing to Columbia Lyme Ctr.
He is also and excellent doctor helping and advocating for children and families in school systems with LD.
I think nothing but the best of him!
