Hi All, Does anybody know about a primary care physician in Boston area that would be willing to work with an LLMD such as Dr.H?
I am looking for someone who would be open minded and cooperative when it comes to dealing with my disease.
Please don't forward me to the website service - I didn't find anyone within a reasonable distance there who was still practicing.
Thanks so much!

Call Support Groups in the Boston area. They may be able to direct you to someone...

From all of the list only one of them would work for me and he only accepts new patients in Nov.
THe issue is that I have to take bicillin shots for Lyme twice a week and the only way insuranse will cover this is if they would be done in doctor's office..
So I am looking for a primary care physician who will accept insurance AND would work with Dr.H.
I know there should be people from Boston area here who work with Dr.H in NY and I am just curious if they could let me know if they found a doctor who would cooperate.
Thanks,
Sing

sing,
try both of these suggestions ok!
call closest SUPPORT GROUP LEADER using list on left side for your state...
People seeking doctors in certain states might be able to get help from their state online information and support group. Over 2000 people belong to these state groups. Many of the groups are small but quite a few have 20 or more people on them.
Type your state name and lyme as one word, e.g. newyorklyme
For SC, SD, ND and WY, put a hyphen between the statename and lyme, e.g. northdakota-lyme
The groups are moderated so you have to apply, and we don't allow doctor names, but once on the group, you can ask for doctors in a certain area and ask people to email you privately. *******************************************
