About a year ago i requested info on llmds in nj. Our family has since used alternative methods to treat our lyme disease but my sister who lives in nj needs to be seen by a llmd. I have 2 docs given to me before but wondering if any more are available in the area.
Thanks so much! Barb

Here is what was written on Lymenet by a poster from NJ:
"There are NO good LLMD's in NJ. NJ is a wasteland of bad docs. I can tell you from years of experience, unless you go with an established doc (of which there are only a few on the east coast) you will get undertreated and continue to relapse.
PLEASE TAKE MY ADVICE. NJ is a bad place for ticks and a bad place for tick doctors."

Here are some more quotes from old posts about NJ:
"The LLMDs in NJ are not very good based on patients' experiences. People start with them then end up going to see other LLMDs out-of-state."
"Over the years, the folks in New Jersey have said that the best Lyme doctors are not there."
"I strongly suggest that you be willing to travel outside of New Jersey to get good treatment."
"There are Lyme doctors in the area you have named, but I don't recommend any of them. To get a good Lyme specialist, you will have to be willing to travel. At least half of all Lyme patients go out of state for their care."
