Directions
The Lyme Disease Research Program is located in northern Manhattan at the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center on the 3rd floor of the new location of the New York State Psychiatric Institute at 1051 Riverside Drive (Room 3200), New York City, New York, 10032. Bounded by the Hudson River on one side and Riverside Drive on the other, the NYS Psychiatric Institute's entrance is on Riverside Drive at 168th Street. Entrance access is possible from Riverside Drive or via an overpass that connects the Psychiatric Institute Annex on Haven Avenue (&168th Street) with our new building. The Lyme Disease Research Program is readily accessible from New Jersey (via the George Washington Bridge), from Connecticut and Northern New York, and from Long Island.
By Car:
From New Jersey. If coming east across the George Washington Bridge, please take the first exit which should be the West Side Highway (or Henry Hudson Parkway South) which will direct you south. Then take the first exit (Riverside Drive) and go south (take a right onto R.D.). You will pass the Riverside Drive entrance to the NYS Psychiatric Institute on your right. Patients can be dropped off there. For parking, take your first left onto 165th Street and then your first right onto Fort Washington Avenue. The parking garage is there at 165th and Fort Washington Avenue. To get to the Psychiatric Institute entrance, either retrace your route or walk up Fort Washington Avenue to 168th Street, take a left onto 168th Street, walk directly ahead and the road curves to the right. Shortly after the curve, you will see a red brick building on your left which is the Psychiatric Institute Kolb Annex. The passage to the overpass to the new building starts from the entrance to the Annex.
From Westchester/Rockland Counties or CT. Take either Route 87 or the Hutchinson River Parkway south to the Cross County Parkway West. Go south on the Saw Mill River Parkway which connects to the Henry Hudson Parkway which then crosses the HHP bridge into Manhattan. Exit at Riverside Drive (shortly after you pass under the George Washington Bridge) and follow the directions above.
By Train or Subway or Bus:
Take the A (express), B, or #1 subway to 168th Street and Broadway. Or take the M2, M3, M4, M5, or M100 bus to 168th Street. Walk west 2 blocks on 168th Street and that will bring you to the intersection of Haven Avenue and 168th Street at which point you will see the Psychiatric Institute Kolb Annex. Follow the directions above.
Trains into either Penn Station or Grand Central Terminal will then allow you to connect to the subway.
If you need clarification of these directions or if you get lost, call 212-543-5367.

How to Contact Us
In the "Research Studies" section of our Web Page, you will see a listing of current studies. Each study has its own study coordinator with a designated way to reach us. This may consist of a downloadable screening form (which can be faxed to us), an email address, and/or a telephone number. If after reading about the research study, you wish further information about the study, please send an email to the following address: [email protected] or call 212-543-6510.
If you are outside of commuting distance to New York City, it probably does not make sense for you to consider participating in one of our studies (unless it is a one-time evaluation study). Please understand that although we know a lot about Lyme Disease, we cannot make clinical recommendations over the phone about patients we have not evaluated in person. To do so would be medically unethical. We advise that non study-related questions be addressed to your local health care provider. Because we do not charge patients (or their insurance carriers) who come for evaluation and/or treatment to our Lyme Disease Research Program, we cannot provide "clinical consultations" to patients who do not have a possible interest in participating in one of our research studies. Thank you for understanding our limitations.
If you are interested in learning more about Lyme Disease, please make use of the excellent and comprehensive information available from the links at the end of this side bar. There are vast resources on the World Wide Web to educate an individual about Lyme Disease.

Im pretty sure the researcher is a psych. but dont bet on it cuz I relying on my memory. I was told by someone who participated in one of their studies that the doc there said that a neurologist at Colunbia, Dr. B, was lyme literate so I went to see her.
What a waste of time and money. I gave her all my scans specks and labs and then she asked my why I was there seeing a neurologist. HUH!!!!
I told her cuz I lost my intellect can no longer read books and putting 2&2 together is often impossible. She clearly was not interested in seeing a lyme patient.
She said if all those abx's havnt made me better then to quit taking them and get another sleep study and deal with the sleep issus.
Ive already been thru the sleep doc stuff and they diagnosed me with "Idoipathic Hypersomnia/possible narcolopsy" I love the = she cant stay awake and we dont know why. I couldnt take any of the jazz & speed em up meds and was labled dueg resistant.
Im grateful I couldnt take those meds cuz anything that makes you able to speed around when your body is screaming lay me down has have the effect of wearing out the parts faster and faster.
If you go to Columbia just dont go to Dr. B in neurology

The info posted by Isabel is from The Columbia University Lyme Disease Evaluation and Treatment Center and Research Studies (or something close to that title). It is the program run by Dr. B.F. that did the NIH study on long-term treatment with antibiotics.
I have been playing phone tag with a Dr. C there for 2 weeks myself. Appts are booked up til at least November sometime.
It is my understanding that they do not actually treat patients, but do extensive testing and make referrals etc. to other LLMD's
