What this page does not tell you

Directories usually put this in the small print, if they say it at all. It is the most important thing on the page, so it is second.

Whether they are any good. Nobody here is rated, reviewed or ranked, and that will not change.
Whether they will take you. Capacity is the practice’s own last word, dated above — not a promise to any one person.
What you will finally pay. The figures here are before labs, imaging, and whatever your plan does afterwards.

12 of the 13 facts we track are filled in here.Blank: a website. Shown as a gap rather than guessed at or quietly left out.

What to say when you call

Three lines, the same for every clinician here. For a practice with a waiting list this is the difference between being on it and not.

Say where you found the listing, and that you are asking about a new-patient appointment. It is the fastest way past "we are not taking anyone" when they are.
Ask the three things this page cannot tell you, in this order: are you taking new patients, are you licensed in the state I am in, and what does a first visit cost.
Ask what they want in advance — prior labs, a symptom timeline, a referral — and write down the date you called and who you spoke to.

Where that capacity figure comes from

The state is at the top of the page. This is its provenance.

Who said itThe practicePractices update capacity themselves. We never guess it and never infer it from anything else on the listing.The practice told us on September 21, 2026.

Listing last checkedSomeone here checked this 2 months ago.Next check due 22 Aug 2027.A different fact from the line beside it: one is when the practice last told us, the other is when a person here last read a document.

Checked by a person at LymeHQ: someone reviewed a national provider-registry record and recorded that they were satisfied by it, on August 22, 2026.

Identity matchThat the person named is the person the record describes. A national provider-registry record was read and recorded.August 22, 2026

Jurisdictional licence statusThat a licence is held, and in which state. No licence document was cited. A registry record does not answer this: an NPI enumerates a provider, it does not say a licence is held or current.—

Practice detailsAddress, practice name, and what the clinician says they see. Nothing here confirms them. Credentials, focus and the states listed are typed by the clinician about themselves.—

AvailabilityWhether they are taking anyone, and what a visit costs. Never checked by anyone here. What the practice told us is recorded with the date they told us, which is a different thing from a check — only they can say, and it changes weekly.—

Quality of careWhether the care is any good. Never assessed. There is no rating here and there will not be.—

“Checked” is not “endorsed”, and the last three rows are the ones people assume we did. How a listing is checked, and what that does not mean →

The wait

Last 6 months30 6–12 months ago11

Members tell us the gap between first contact and the first appointment. Cohorts are never pooled — a wait from last year says nothing about this year — and the practice neither sees these figures nor can change them.

Usually 2–4 mo — from 11 member reports in the last 6–12 months. Figures here are illustrative.

A wait this long is its own problem.The months before an appointment are when a record is worth most and hardest to keep: a dated log of what happened, results filed as they land, and a short printed brief ready the day the call comes.How to keep the record while you wait →

Cost is a reason people stop, not a reason to be turned away.The Access Fund is designed to pay for visits and tests for people who cannot. Every grant and every refusal would be listed with a reason.Designed, not running: no page states a pool, an amount or who would qualify, because nothing behind it can pay anyone yet.What the fund is →

Into your record

designeddesigned

A directory that stops at an address makes you re-type everything, and the kit carries three controls from here into the rest of LymeHQ. None of them runs from this page. Each one writes into a patient’s own record, and a write into somebody’s record started from a public page is a consent path rather than a button.

Add to my care teamPuts a clinician on your profile. Adding one shares nothing — the second lock is a separate, dated decision.A care relationship is written only by the patient, from inside their own account — the person it is about is the person signed in, never someone a page hands over. An administrator cannot create one either.
Send my pre-visit briefA short printed brief, clinically ordered: what changed, what you are taking, what you want from this visit.The brief is a disclosure to somebody else. It needs the patient’s own switch and a live care relationship, and both are checked in the same place the document is put together.
Ask a question firstA written question with your reasoning attached, answered in their words — not a booking and not advice.Nothing here records a question to a clinician, and nothing answers one. A message channel is its own design and its own consent decision.

Colour on this frame would mean capacity and nothing else — the same four states the listings use. There is nothing plotted on it: the coordinate is held, a tile server is not.

remote visits: Yes, for follow-ups, in the states listed.The practice told us on August 22, 2026.
a website: We hold no website for this listing.
the practice’s page about them: https://example.org/washington-ave-internal/dr-alderThe practice told us on August 22, 2026.
Guideline: Not held.No column holds which guideline a clinician works from, and it is not something to take on a practice’s own say-so. What the two guidelines cover →
Scope agreement: Not held.The onboarding module that would record one is not built, so no listing here carries a scope agreement or a network mark — including this one.

Before you go. The practice’s own page about this clinician may say more than we hold — open it. It is their page, not ours, and nobody here has read it.

When a listing goes away

Someone at LymeHQ withdraws it: The listing leaves the directory on the next page load — there is no grace period and no cached copy. The withdrawal is recorded in the register’s changelog with its date and without a reason.
The clinician’s account is deleted: The listing goes with it. The attestation events stay in the trail for an auditor and the clinician is no longer named anywhere a reader can see.
A licence lapses, or a practice closes, or a practice asks to be delisted: Nothing here notices. No column records a licence’s expiry, no process accepts a delisting request, and no clock re-checks a listing — so a listing can only go stale, and the page tells you how long ago it was last read rather than implying it is current.
