I'm not screwed at all, my LLMD costs me $10 an hour. Co-pay with my insurance and he's a real LLMD. The other local ones here all take insurance.
I will write you privately re some names- wait what about Doc Y????
All of our local ones are insurance. The best ones in SF do cost a lot but so do any specialists- and truthfully, they see poor people for almost nothign.
HEck, if you truly want a cheap LLMD Doc Yang of Santee saw people for free for years and now only charges very minimally. Call her office.
Here's an article on her- whoops- forgot- can't post newspaper articles here- um- here is the connection to her website- she used to be 100% free.

She used to draw no salary. I knew her accountant, he was the brother of a woman who died and is on the Lyme Disease Memorial Page. Her office staff got paid through donations. She's incredible/ The last few years she does charge people a small fee because her office staff got upset-but I have heard if you really can't afford it she will stil TREAT YOU FOR FREE- you can't ask for kinder than that-
This is her addy & her phone number and HER email- all of which she wants open on the INternet- she;s a truly nice person- a good person- and a good Lyme doc- she TRAINED Doc Harris, junior, Steve Harris. He was her partner, not romnatic partner, medical office partner, for a few years...

The only thing people find annoying about her is that she became a doc for Lyme patients because Lyme patients are so screwed because she's a fervent Christian- and she prays once in a while with patients- (I'm not a Christian so it would annoy me but she is well meant).
And she IS a real LLMD.
Her husband is a doctor and they live off his salary.
If you go a google search you will find an newspaper article about her when they tried to take her license away (not spurred by patients by insurance companies).
If you can travel there and stay with friends, she is almost free.
Best wishes,
Sarah
p.s. and locally we have lots of cheap ones-
