I've been getting treated by a Dr. L in NY and I'm starting to feel like the doctor doesn't care or have any true interest in my case except for the income I can give.
I'm sure he has helped people, but it amazes me how people get into medicine and then let people suffer.
I was taking a/bs for about a year and I just have lost faith in him. He upped his charges for a half hour follow up to 200 dollars.
I can't afford it anymore, and he doesn't even call to see how I'm doing or any of his staff to check.
Thus I'm looking for a new LLMD, within an hour distance from NY metro area, thus CT, New Jersey, NY. Northern NJ, Southern CT.
I'd like a list of them if possible and any info please.
I need to find someone who is open to other modalities,nutrition,herbs. Right now in the meantime I'm trying Stephen Bruhners protocol.
I just hope the new doctor doesn't expect another 600-700 4 hour consult when I have the bloodtests and all of it already.
I am still trying to pursue medicine myself, but with the neurolyme I'm starting to give up on my dreams. Thanks for your help

Any of you ever notice how Dr. L goes to all the conferences and meetings, sits in the front row, and yet never seems to apply any of what he learns to his practice and patients? I have heard many complaints from his former patients about how he refuses to treat co-infections and insists on spinal taps and neuropsychiatric testing before even treating known tick bites. Very strange!

That has not been my experience with this llmd, if you are discussing who I think you are discussing.
But I do think it is important that everyone work with a doctor that they have confidence in, even if that means switching doctors while in treatment.
The expense often makes switching prohibitive to do, but the confidence and communication thing is important with such a complex and difficult illness as TBDs.
I do think that the IDSA's damned evil witchhunt and persecution of good and caring doctors may make some other doctors conservative in their approach....to say the least.
