I�ve been reading this forum for the last few years and It�s been a fantastic source of info as well as support on coping with this disease and it�s many complexities.
I�m been suffering from Lyme�s for the last 10 years or so and have tried a variety of antibiotics and herbal remedies.
I�m currently living in London, UK and currently exploring ILADS, LLMDs abroad. I�m currently with the a Hospital with the UK but am looking for expert treatment elsewhere.
I�m read about the BAC (Borreliose Centrum Augsburg) clinic in Germany and they present themselves well and appear to have an excellent expertise in treating Lyme and attend / host ILADS conferences. I�m almost certain I�ll take steps to make an appointment with them but was looking to see if I can find feedback from actual patients as it�s quite an investment to go with them in terms of both time and money.
I was curious to know how people felt about them and what people�s experiences are (couldn�t find anything recently on the forum).
I�m also looking at doctors in the US and curious to know if people have chosen between or two or have had experiences with both to compare.
Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

Augsburg would not be my choice, though I am familiar with many physicians treating Lyme in Germany. Lyme is a multi-faceted disease and it has to be treated from all angles.
Dr. K. also practices at times in the London area and there are some practitioners doing similar work in the area without crossing the water. If you want a broader approach to Lyme and associated problem treatment, you may want to check the info on www.klinghardtacademy.com
All the best to you.

I don't know if they have always had such policies or if they are new but I met them in Toronto and was impressed.
I was told they treat with antibiotics and/or with natural methods (herbs, bionic, support, detox) and the doctor and patient will decide which is the best fit or a combination of both.
I met the wife of the head doc there and she was very down to earth and kind.
