How about good Rheumys in North TX? Anyone have any good docs to

recommend in the Dallas/Plano area? Mine is not on my insurance plan for

next year.

Dr. phs in Carrollton is supposed to be

excellent. I could not get in to see him. Too long of

a wait. Take him and only him. His partner is quack

Mohan Penmetcha. Tami

HI Tami,

I just thought I'd let you know -- don't feel bad that you weren't

able to see Dr. ph in Carrollton. I saw him recently and wasn't

impressed at all -- he was (in my opinion) incompetetent and

unprofessional. I won't be going back. Do you see someone else in

the Dallas area?

Take care,

, no I have not seen any rheumy's since march.

The last experience left me with issues on rheumy's. I

am moving to Dallas Co. soon and hopefully will find a

good one through UT Southwestern. Tami

, have you found a good rheumy? What area in

Texas do you live? I live in The Colony. Tami

Tami, I live in Plano. I was seeing Dr. Rushing, who is at Presby on

Walnut Hill; however, last year my insurance plan changed and Rushing

wasn't in-network. That's why I saw Dr. ph. However, this year my

plan changed back and Rushing is on it again. I'm going to go back to

Rushing again, although I wish I could find someone closer. Also, he's

not young (he's got to be at least in his late 60s if not 70s), so I

don't know how much longer he'll be practicing.

If you find a good rheumy, let me know! One other doctor I wouldn't

recommend is Brodsky, who is also on Walnut Hill. He misdiagnosed my

daughter who has scleroderma and had an abrasive personality.

, thank you so much for the info. Keep me posted

and I will keep you posted, as well. It is nice to

have someone close by me. Between the two of us we are

bound to find someone. Tami

I also need to find a rheumy. I live in Far North Fort Worth, but work in

Carrollton. If I could find one in either of those areas that was good and

pleasant I would be thrilled. Right now I'm still seeing my wonderful Primary

Care Doc. He's good and thorough, but think I may need to see an actual

Rheumatologist. I am out of town this week on business, but when I get back he's

sending me to get hands xrayed and sending me to a doctor in Grapevine, but he's

orthopedic doctor I believe. For now I'm on Methtrexate 12.5 mg weekly and

Humira every other week. When I try to determine if the pain is better or worse,

I have to say the original joint that first started this whole new chapter in my

life is feeling better, it's not nearly as inflamed, but of course I have a lot

of additional joint pain than when I was first diagnosed. It's a journey and one

that I wouldn't wish on anyone, but I'm blessed that I can still work and manage

day to day. My worst frustration in the brain

fogs. Somedays I can't seem to write what I'm thinking or remember simple

things like names. That and my new found clumsiness. I seem to trip and fall on

regular occasion now, and falling on painful wrists and hands is almost

unbearable. I'm also fortunate that my husband is so supportive and I can have

cry once in a while after a fall and the subsequent anger that comes with self

pity - like it's not fair, I hurt bad enough without having to fall on my

painful swollen joints. But I know its just something else that I have to learn

to live with.

Anyway, I know this is my longest post yet, but I do get great information and

comfort from all of you. I'm beginning to feel like I know many of you

personally. Thank you all. Any good Rheumy Names for North Texas are always

welcome.
