Services Offered

At the Lyme Disease Diagnostic Center, we offer the following services.

• Focused Medical Evaluation
  If you have a rash or bite and/or have reason to believe that you may have been bitten by a tick or have Lyme Disease or another tick-borne disease, we will conduct a diagnostic evaluation and examination to identify if you are at risk and advise as needed.
• Laboratory testing for tick-borne diseases as necessary
  Please note: costs of lab tests are not included in visit fee.
• Tick Identification 
  If you have been bitten by a tick and have retained it, please bring it with you to the LDDC. We will identify what type of tick it is, and provide antibiotic prophylaxis if necessary.
