Joe Jemsek, MD Speaks the Truth About Lyme Disease

Dr. JemsekInfectious disease specialist Dr. Joe Jemsek (jemsekspecialty.com) discusses the controversy surrounding Lyme disease and what action needs to be taken to provide patients with better care.

Dr. Jemsek began his career as an HIV/AIDS specialist and later took on an increasing caseload of chronic Lyme patients. Both he and his thriving Jemsek Clinic in Huntersville, North Carolina were forced into Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in 2006 after the mega health insurance company, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, brought ruthless action against him. In January, 2008 his practice re-emerged in nearby Fort Mills, South Carolina. Most recently, in October 2009, the Jemsek Specialty Clinic was moved to Washington, D.C.

Because Dr. Jemsek’s five-year-old daughter, Jordan, was recently diagnosed with an aggressive Leukemia (AML), and his wife, Kay, was diagnosed with breast cancer, clinic hours may be limited. Jordan’s progress is being followed at caringbridge.org at jordanjemsek. Please check the clinic website for clinic hours and other details.
