FIND A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL 

Global Lyme Alliance volunteers proudly answer inquiries from patients throughout the world and provide free information about tick-borne disease knowledgeable medical professionals in your area. The inadequacies of the current diagnostic tests and many physicians’ lack of experience with the disease and in interpreting results often prevent a correct diagnosis. Many of the tick-borne disease knowledgeable physicians and healthcare professionals have been trained in Global Lyme Alliance's world-renowned Physician’s Training Program. If you are interested in finding such a medical professional in your area, please contact Global Lyme Alliance.
