Jemsek Specialty

Jemsek Specialty In 2025, JSC closed its doors permanently. For updates from Dr. Jemsek, sign up at ChooseLifeOverLyme.com

Permanently closed.

Dr. Jemsek has transitioned from practicing medicine to focusing on patient advocacy and advancing the public’s understanding of tick-borne diseases. From 2009 to 2025, the Jemsek Specialty Clinic (JSC), in Washington, D.C., was a bastion of hope for disenfranchised patients around the world. The infectious disease practice was dedicated to the treatment of Lyme disease (Lyme borreliosis complex)

and its associated conditions. Founded by Dr. Joseph Jemsek, a thought leader in the field since 2001, JSC was a world-renowned destination practice, welcoming patients from 50 US states and more than 40 countries. In the summer of 2025, after many years of service to thousands of patients, JSC closed its doors and Dr. Jemsek transitioned from practicing medicine to focusing on patient advocacy and advancing the public’s understanding of tick-borne diseases.

Our primary goal at the Jemsek Specialty Clinic is to equip our patients with a comprehensive understanding of treatment, empowering them with knowledge for a successful treatment journey.

We aim to shed light on the effectiveness of Lyme disease treatment from different perspectives, considering factors like the immune system's role, diagnostic methods, the unpredictable nature of symptom persistence during treatment, and the crucial role of managing mental health behaviors.

: Everyone with Lyme disease gets a rash.

: A painless skin rash (Erythema migrans) is a common sign at the site of the bite, but it doesn’t always happen. A rash occurs in about 80% of Lyme diseases cases, but only 20% of the rashes develop into a classic bulls-eye’s lesion.Individuals with no rash can be asymptomatic or have flu-like symptoms of fatigue, fever, chills, myalgia, and headache.

“For the last twenty-three years, the Jemsek Clinic has been a bastion of hope for disenfranchised patients around the world: at first, HIV/AIDS and, soon after, Lyme patients. We never, ever gave up on them—regardless of the consequences.”
