Saying Goodbye to Dr. Neil Spector | What is Lyme Disease?

Dr. Neil Lee Spector
June 30, 1956 – June 14, 2020

We are so very sad to hear that Dr. Neil Spector has passed away.

Many of you know Dr. Neil Spector. Most know him as being the doctor who had to have a heart transplant because of damage done from Lyme disease. Dr Spector wrote a book about his journey through Lyme and an eventual heart transplant, called “Gone in a Heartbeat: A Physician’s Search for True Healing.”.

There are a lot of kind stories being posted on social media right now about Dr. Spector and feel free to post more below in the comment section. We hold doctors who treat Lyme disease and take it seriously, close in our hearts, and to lose one, is like losing a family member.
