Finding a Lyme-Literate Doctor

The current means of testing for Lyme disease is relatively inadequate. That’s why, to receive a thorough diagnosis, you should seek out a doctor that specializes in Lyme. There is a general lack of knowledge surrounding the disease and thus, the more Lyme-literate your doctor is, the more likely you will be properly diagnosed and treated. 

Here are a few resources to find a Lyme-literate professional in your area:

• Global Lyme Alliance (GLA)
• International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS)
• Lyme Disease Association, Inc.
• LymeDisease.org
• American Lyme Disease Foundation (ALDF)
• ProHealth
• Keep Kids Health – What is a Lyme-Literate Doctor?

If you need help finding someone in your area, do not hesitate to reach out. It’s important if you suspect you have Lyme disease, to seek treatment as soon as possible.
