Do most llmd's have hospital affiliations? my parents are nervous that the one im going to next month doesn't have an affiliation w/any hospital.. and they think thats strange but im not sure if any llmd's do..

Mine doesn't and he's the best thing that ever happened to me. 

The major medical/university culture around me (and it's one of the best regarded worldwide) has been very closedminded and unwavering in their insensitivity towards Lyme.

My LLMD isn't affiliated with a hospital either. But if your primary care physician is, then there's nothing to worry about. I'm trying to keep my PCP updated with my Lyme treatment. This way I have two MD's who know what's going on with me. Also, it helps to educate my PCP about Lyme and hopefully she'll recognize the next case that comes her way.

I would also ask your parents why they think it's important for your LLMD to be connected with a hospital. You need to know what hospital your insurance covers. If you don't have insurance, then if needed, your LLMD would tell you where to go.

good luck
