Rita M. Rhoads, MPH, CRNP, CNM

Lyme Literate Nurse Practitioner

Christiana PA

I would have died if I wouldn't have gone to see Rita. I had every lyme disease symptom you could possibly imagine. After working with Rita a few years ago I can live a normal life again. If you have lyme disease or think that you might, I would highly recommend her. She literally saved my life.

I feel that she quite literally saved my life. I was diagnosed with Lyme in May of 2017 as well as Babesia and Bartonella following that. She has completely turned my health and life around and now I am getting back to my life the way it used to be. Forever grateful and highly recommend her services.

I can't speak highly enough of Rita Rhoads and her practice. Her treatment has been individualized, holistic, and has led to steady, significant improvements in our health and recovery from tick-borne co-infections. She's highly responsive, incredibly thorough, and has demonstrated that she is genuinely interested in our healing and well-being. We are so grateful for her help.

3 years ago our daughter was bit by a tick at age 3. Our hospital refused to treat for the bite even with a bullseye rash because she had no symptoms. 2 weeks after the bite when she finally came down with fevers, joint pain, fatigue, it still took 5 days straight of emergency visits for them to finally give us an antibiotic. Which finding out now was just too late. They chose instead to run every nasal and throat swab possible to test for every virus known to man. Of course all coming up negative. Since then we can write out a full sheet of new problems that began to arise with her health (now age 6) over these 3 years. Our local hospital pushed us around from specialist to specialist with no real answers. Finally in June of this year (2019) we came to Rita! We talked with Rita and she ran the tests she felt were necessary with her symptoms. Blood tests that our local hospital could have easily done, but refused to believe anything could come from a tick bite. Now we had our 2nd appt with Rita yesterday for all of our diagnosis. Rita found A LOT of viruses, infections, problems, including you guessed it- Lyme disease! If it wasn’t for Rita I don’t know how much longer we could have went on. Rita has found answers, and she won’t stop until my girl is healthy! The staff here is amazing, friendly, and genuinely care for you, your family and all the issues and problems you come to them with. No 5 star rating can describe how much faith I have in these people. If you ask me they deserve a million stars!

Very welcoming, friendly, caring and knowledgeable team. Rita is the best! I am feeling so much better today from my Lyme and Co infections treatment.

Top notch medical professional. Literally trust her with my life.

My kids and I have seen Rita for all of our tick borne illness needs and you couldn't pay me to go anywhere else. She's top notch - straight shooter, knows her stuff, and is invested in seeing her patients reach maximum wellness, even if it's not a speedy process. Her staff is exceptional as well. I couldn't recommend more!

If your sick and you don't know why. Rita will figure it out!!

Thanks to Rita, my health has improved drastically!
