Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Kami, Can you tell us which town outside Philly you're going to, mine is ouside Philly and I REALLY like him. Good luck. [ ] Seeing new rheumatologist tomorrow Tomorrow I am traveling to outside of Philadelphia to meet with a new rheumatologist. I am not looking for a second opinion as much as I am looking for a clarification of the diagnosis I was given by my current rheumy. He is an older doctor and while I love him and his bedside manner, I have to wonder if I may not be better treated by a younger doctor who is more familiar with more aggressive treatments. The exam is supposed to last approximately 2 hours. I am really looking forward to it. I will first meet with the nurse practitioner and then the doctor. Wish me luck and hope for the weather to stay clear here in NE PA! I am traveling nearly 2 hours to get to this appt! ©x© Kami ©x© Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I see Dr. lin and I think he's the top. He's also head of Rhumatology at Abington Hospital which is a very large suburban hospital with a great reputation (I'm originally a city girl and feel that if you sick, you belong downtown so for me to say that Abington is very well respected is a huge thing for me). I haven't heard anything about her, personally, I just prefer male docs but I hope you make out well and let me know! The office is so close to the Turnpike, you'll like that.
