Gary P. Wormser, M.D., is director and founder of the Lyme Disease Diagnostic Center, a well-respected walk-in clinic for the care and study of patients with tick-borne infections. A top-flight team of experts in the study of tick-borne diseases is led by Dr. Wormser, an expert on Lyme disease, anaplasmosis and babesiosis. His interest in infectious diseases goes back much further: in 1981, he and colleagues wrote the first paper on AIDS to appear in a scientific journal, and he has spoken on the use of smallpox and other deadly viruses as bioterrorist weapons.
