For early stage Lyme (within a month or so of infection) most good doctors can help you by giving you antibiotics or at the very least they can send you to the appropriate infectious disease specialist who can then prescribe antibiotics. For chronic Lyme you really need to see a LLMD (Lyme Literate Medical Doctor) as most doctors are not able to help you and could even make the situation worse.
