About Road Back Foundation’s Doctor Search System
You can now submit an online request for Antibiotic Protocols (AP) and/or Lyme Literate Medical Doctors (LLMDs) in the United States, or Internationally, and receive an immediate automated email response.
The Road Back Foundation (RBF) doctor lists are maintained by volunteers as a free courtesy service to rheumatic patients choosing antibiotic therapy for treatment. These lists are compiled entirely on the basis of patient recommendations and feedback. You can help us to keep the RBF doctor lists current by providing feedback on things like doctor contact info corrections, new doctors we may add, and/or feedback on a doctor you have visited. (See Important Instruction #6 below).
If there are no doctors near you and you are unable to travel, you can print out the Doctor Packets (Pulsed and Daily Protocols) and other Resources provided on the RBF website and take them to a local doctor of your choosing to ask for assistance. In addition to a Rheumatologist, some rheumatic patients have found that a local General Practitioner/Primary Care Physician, Integrative/Functional/Holistic/Alternative or Naturopathic Medicine Doctor will help.

Please read these important instructions before accessing RBF’s Doctor Search System:
- 1. The selection of an AP Provider should involve careful research and consideration by you.
- 2. RBF does not keep a record of which healthcare providers are private-pay or accept health insurance.
- 3. The contact info or status of any listed healthcare provider is subject to change without notice.
- 4. RBF does not make AP Provider reccomendations or referrals.
- 5. The “most experienced” AP Provider list is based entirely on subjective patient feedback.
- 6. Please ensure in advance that any healthcare provider of interest will supply the AP or other services you require.
- 7. The degree of any healthcare provider’s experience with AP, their approach to treatment, and private-pay costs will vary.
- 8. Healthcare providers and medical office staff may not understand the patient vernacular, “AP” which is short for “antibiotic protocols”. Instead, it may help to ask if “antibiotic therapy for autoimmune diseases” is offered as a treatment option.
- 9. RBF does not evaluate the professional competence, background, or qualifications of any health care provider it lists.
- 10. RBF does not guarantee or endorse the quality or type of care offered by any health care offered by any health care provider it lists.
