I was just curious why you can't post LLMD's on here? (or anywhere for that matter)

I think it's to protect them from harassment.

In many states, the state medical boards and the insurance companies do not want LLMDs to practice and they are harassed - or worse. By not posting their names openly, it at least gives them just a little more privacy.

A good LLMD puts a lot on the line to treat lyme patients. To better understand, see:

We've all been duck screwed so many times, we are paranoid about our LLMDs getting in trouble.
