Not completely for the seeking Dr forum...more opinion seeking here.

I am wondering if there is currently a very well respected Lyme Doc that is worth travelling for?...a sort of current Burrascanno.

I know many people love their own LLMD but I am thinking of a top Lyme Doc who would is an established veteran at this point...and treats with abx...not herbal remedies.

If anyone can name me any "gurus" I'd really appreciate a PM.

Thanks a lot.

Dr H NY probably the best available w/o a doubt

Posted by migs (Member # 16496) on :

Thanks...a good start. I'll find his name eventually.

Pm'ing you about the West coast.

Posted by lymewreck36 (Member # 4395) on :

I'm voting for Dr. H in NY.

Posted by steelbone (Member # 14014) on :

I would say the best LLMD is Dr K

But he doesnt follow burrascanno guidelines

Posted by jenny76 (Member # 18205) on :

Dr. J formerly of SC and now in DC. IMO by far the best.

Dr J better than Dr H?

I think they both are wonderful so that is just my opinion.

Posted by METALLlC BLUE (Member # 6628) on :

Dr. J in CT,
Dr. J in DC,
Dr. H, New York.
Dr. K, Washington State,
GS, N.P. CA
Dr. R MO
Dr. R NY
Dr. F NJ
Dr. B NJ
Dr. G CA

That's just a few. I have a list. They aren't in any particular order though. I compiled a top 21 list a year ago based soley on the amount of patient reports which were positive. Many good doctors of equal competence are out there, I just didn't have the reports to compare, thus they were left out.

"Dr. B NJ"

I thought I knew all the LLMD's in NJ but my mind is drawing a blank on this one. Can you PM me, Metallic?

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

Dr R in MO? Not in my book.

It would have to be Dr C in MO.

Posted by METALLlC BLUE (Member # 6628) on :

Dr. C in MO is also on my list Lymetoo. But so was Dr. R in MO.

Jenny, your mailbox is full. Dr. B in NJ specializes in Neuropsychiatric tick-born diseases, especially Lyme Disease.

Posted by jennyflyer (Member # 12792) on :

Thanks Metallic, I cleared out a few messages.

I am still drawing a blank so if you can PM me I'd be much obliged.

Posted by migs (Member # 16496) on :

Thanks for all the replies and PMs. A couple of you have full mailboxes but I'm looking into a few docs I've been referred to.

Posted by lightparfait (Member # 22022) on :

Dr. B. in NJ is not a LLMD...

Recommend Dr. U. in NJ.

Posted by Lymeorsomething (Member # 16359) on :

Dr. R in NY is so-so at best.

Light, can you pm me about Dr. U if you get a moment.

Thanks.

Posted by METALLlC BLUE (Member # 6628) on :

A lot of people have different opinions, so the final decision is ultimately yours.

Dr. B in NJ is an LLMD. He's a member & president Of ILADS. You can check ILADS.org to confirm.

Can someone PM me who has been on IV antibiotics with Dr. J in washington Dc?

Posted by hadlyme (Member # 6364) on :

I went to Dr. H in NY the first time.

I like my Dr. F in AZ better.

Posted by seekhelp (Member # 15067) on :

Hadlyme, you answered my question in another thread here. I was wondering if it was Dr. H you saw originally. I hate to hear stories that people got damaged like this. [Frown]

I'd like AZ better just for the weather!! [Smile]
