LLMD

A common shorthand for Lyme-literate medical doctor in patient conversations.

Definition

LLMD is a shorthand patients often use for Lyme-literate medical doctor. The phrase is widely recognized in patient communities, but it does not act as a universal credential or guarantee of provider fit.

Why it matters here

The phrase is not a substitute for checking license status, scope, training claims, and current practice information.
