Check the online state Lyme groups at:

Maybe they can help. They would know better about NY.

Some more resources for you (including Support Groups info):

I went to him and would not recommend him. He does not do any followup blood work while you are on high dose antibiotics(very dangerous) His office is terrible and found him not to be a good choice and waisted my time and money. There are no good Drs in NYC.

NUMEROUS negative reports about this doc over the years. Way, way too many complaints. And the fact that he does not routinely check blood work during treatment (liver enzymes, etc.) is VERY dangerous. Definitely don't recommend him.
