A new Lyme and Tick-borne Disease Evaluation Service at Columbia is now open
It focuses on patients who are still experiencing symptoms after being diagnosed and treated for Lyme disease and patients who have unexplained psychiatric symptoms that may be due to Lyme or other tick-borne diseases. The goal is to provide a comprehensive evaluation seeking to also rule out other disorders that may cause the multisystemic symptoms.
