Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Care for Patients in Brooklyn and Across New York
If you are dealing with symptoms that may be related to Lyme disease or another Tick-Borne Infection, finding someone who will listen and carefully review your history matters. Bruzzese Medical provides virtual consultations for patients located in Brooklyn and throughout New York State.
Our Care Team evaluates each patient’s symptoms, medical history, testing, and previous treatments. Initial appointments are led by a nurse practitioner. Dr. James Bruzzese, MD, is directly involved in each appointment, oversees care, and makes treatment decisions.
A careful, individualized evaluation
Lyme disease and other Tick-Borne Infections can raise complicated questions, especially when symptoms persist or previous evaluations have not provided clear answers. We take time to review your concerns and consider other possible explanations for your symptoms as part of your evaluation.
Your consultation may include a review of:
Your symptoms and when they began
Possible tick exposure
Prior laboratory results and medical records
Previous diagnoses and treatments
Your current health concerns and goals
After the evaluation, the Care Team will discuss appropriate next steps with you. When clinically appropriate, a treatment plan may include oral medications, supportive measures, and follow-up care. Recommendations are based on your individual circumstances; no particular diagnosis or outcome can be promised.
Virtual care for New York patients
Bruzzese Medical currently provides care through telemedicine. You can attend your appointment from Brooklyn or elsewhere in New York State, provided you are physically located in the state.
We are currently working towards credentialing in other states. Updates to follow!
We do not provide hospital admissions or IV antibiotic treatment. If you need urgent or emergency care, seek in-person medical attention at an Emergency Department immediately.
What to expect
Before your appointment, we will ask you to provide information about your medical history, symptoms, testing, and prior treatments so the Care Team can prepare for your visit.
