Hi Folks, I'm a recent transplant from Chicago and even though I dearly loved my dr there, it's becoming hard for us to work around regulations for Rxs and appointment scheduling.

Any advice or reviews for finding a dr in Philadelphia? Unfortunately I don't have a car, so my ability to travel to places like NJ or even the nearby suburbs is very limited.

Thank you

Yes, I'm curious though if any one has dr recommendations since it's very hard to search for drs who treat Lyme online.

I also have very limited insurance, and given that I live in an endemic area, but also one that is relatively open to talking and treating chronic Lyme, hoping to find a non-homeopathic dr to help me manage my additional autoimmune disease. and Rxs for my neurological symptoms

The poster is seeking a doctor in her area, not asking for your opinion on treatment.

Just sharing my experience, I am not a doctor.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for PA.

When you call for an appointment, ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in sooner by doing this.

Check the online state Lyme groups at:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pennsylvanialyme

Maybe they can help you.

Some more resources for you:
www.lyme-aware.org/pennsylvania.html

Read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Check your local library or buy it used on Amazon.

The top LLMD, Dr. H, just wrote a new book entitled, "Why Can't I Get Better?".
