Seattle Lyme Disease Doctor: Expert Care for Lyme Disease and Tick-Borne Illness

Welcome to Dr. Susan L. Marra’s practice, your trusted Seattle Lyme Disease Doctor. With over 25 years of experience specializing in adult and pediatric Lyme disease, Dr. Marra provides integrated, personalized care for those affected by tick-borne illnesses.

Offering both telehealth and in-person visits for your convenience, Dr. Susan L. Marra focuses on YOU—using naturopathic medicine and precision medicine tailored to your unique genetics and physiology to address the complexities of Lyme disease and related conditions. I’m glad you’re here and look forward to helping you on your journey to better health.

We serve patients throughout the greater Seattle area and beyond. Lyme Disease is a growing concern throughout Washington state, including the Seattle area. While ticks carrying the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease can be found across the state, they are particularly prevalent in eastern Washington. However, these ticks are not limited to one region, they can be found in both urban and rural areas of Seattle and the surrounding counties.

In my 18 years of medical practice here in Washington, I’ve seen patients who have been bitten by ticks in a variety of counties, including King, Snohomish, Pierce, Cowlitz, Skagit, Whatcom, Spokane, and others. This suggests that ticks are present in nearly every corner of Washington, including areas around Seattle. Whether you’re hiking in the Cascades, enjoying the outdoors in Seattle, or exploring local parks, tick prevention is essential. If you’re spending time in areas where ticks are present, take steps to protect yourself and your family from Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses.

Patient Testimonials

RateMD Testimonial

“How do you start a thank you to someone who saved your life, someone who brought you back from the hell Lyme disease dishes out? I was skeptical that anyone could ever help me but so happy to find someone who would listen and who would try. I knew you were one smart, no-nonsense practitioner and I put my faith and trust in you, doing as I was told and praying that it would work for me. And it did!

Here I am 5 years later so full of joy and gratitude every day that I wake up feeling normal that I want to shout from the rooftops! I am no longer a prisoner in my home. I am no longer afraid to plan my days ahead. I have my life back because of you! I know the sacrifices you make every day take a toll on you and for that, I am so sorry. I hope someday that you are repaid one hundredfold for the commitment you’ve made to save the lives of people who are alone, scared, and suffering. Thank God for you and your expertise! Not only did I develop the greatest respect for you and the work you do, but I also consider you a very special friend. I looked forward to my appointments because I got to talk to a friend and learn from you as well. I personally want to thank you so much not only for what you’ve done for me, but for what you continue to do for others. There is no greater gift than the gift of health!”

“I crawled to Dr. Marra in November 2013. I took all of her suggestions (i.e. Diet and Supplements) and I feel that when I started doing it, I was truly on a path to healing. My quality of life improved while undergoing treatment for Lyme and Bartonella. My skin completely cleared (probably due to the sugar-free diet) and I am told that I look great. My body has already changed so much after only 6 months and I look forward to continuing to be under her care.

One of the happiest things I experienced on her protocol was the ability to have a couple of days of good exercise which I deeply missed. My family recognizes the changes, too. Everything she says resonates with me and I am very grateful to have found her.”

Ratemd Testimonial

“I went to countless practitioners, over years, in search of help for the physical and emotional symptoms (of Lyme disease). Dr. Marra was the first person who knew how to help me, and the change since beginning treatment 7 months ago has been amazing! Although I felt worse initially, the improvement since then has been SO terrific…I feel like I am healthier than I’ve ever been (and happy to be eating healthily!) I can exercise without tiring, I can handle emotional and physical stressors with ease I haven’t been able to in years! I’m so grateful to Dr. Marra for her care and expertise!

If you are a person who can stick to a regime and have the motivation to hang in there through the changes you’ll undergo, I would highly recommend Dr. Marra. She’s the first person who has understood what’s going on with my health and had an effective way of addressing it… with amazingly positive results!”
