Can anyone recommend a rheumatologist?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I live in central CT and my mother is severely afflicted with RA. She

currently sees a rheumatologist, but I don't think he is aggressive

enough with some of the newer medications and she is getting

progressively worse. Part of the problem is her unwillingness to

complain or demand a different course of action. He does see the

progression of the disease in the xrays of her hands and feet, but

still offers no alternative course of meds. I think she needs a

doctor who will be more active in her therapy and not so willing to

let her wind up in a wheelchair (she is very close). Is there anyone

on the list who is local to me and is happy with their current doctor?

Thanks,
