Do you know if the doctor who diagnosed you at Geisinger is still there? I would

love to have his name and see if he is still in the area. I am 45 mins from

Geisinger and it is one of my options for a pediatric rheumatologist. Another

option is CHOP (Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia)

Hi Kami,

    The rheumy that diagnosed me is Dr. Olenginski. Here is a link to his

bio: http://www1.geisinger.org/patients/findadoc/docdetails.cfm?pid=391.  If the

link doesn't work, go to the Geisinger site, click Find a Doctor and search by

specialty then last name. It looks like he is in burg and Danville. I was

diagnosed with JRA, but I was 19. Usually, adult rheumys will see patients ages

14 and over. I correspond with Dr. O on an annual basis so you may be able to

mention my name (I don't know that it will get you anyway but it is worth a

shot!)

Take care,

P.S. In know this is a terrible time for you. I would be happy to talk on the

phone with you if you think it would help you to talk to someone that

understands.
