Hi - looking for LLMDs in the DC Metro area. I know about Dr. S in Reston, Dr. F in Loudon, and Dr. Z in Fairfax. Any other leads (esp if take insurance) would be appreciated.
Esp looking for the name of the Dr. in germantown, MD who has the blog.
Also if there are any specialists that your might consider LLMD or at least receptive - those would be appreciated too (endo, neuro, etc.).
Thanks in advance!!
Edit:
I did not read all the post its - sorry. I am actually a current patient of Dr. S but he is not taking insurance as of end of the month and wanted to find a LLMD in the area if possible that might take insurance (have good insurance but know most are trending away from it for obvious reasons).
I have been bit by many ticks but no EM so no idea how "long" - likely many years. Wide range of symptoms - muscle twitches, possible POTS, ear ringing, memory etc.
Thanks for any help.
