There are not any good LLMDs in NYC. The best pediatric LLMD is in CT.

I'll send you that info.

I just want to second that due to your child's age, the only option close by is Dr J in CT. I am not sure if he is taking new patients but be persistent.
My opinion though is that you should seek a full workup, many things can cause those symptoms, not just Lyme. Your ped should be willing to run a comprehensive disease workup including ehrlicia, anaplasmosis, babesia, quantitative IGG and IGM mycoplasma, ASO and Dnase levels etc. In addition to pursuing Lyme personally I would also try to get an infectious disease workup if your ped won't help. Good luck

There is a pediatrician in CT closer to NYC.

Not everything is Lyme.
