Hi ,

The search for a rheumatologist is difficult indeed. I am in the metro

Detroit area and was very unhappy with my rheumatologist. When I asked for a

second opinion, I was referred to the rheumatology clinic at the

University of Michigan Health system. I see Peredo, who is a clinical

instructor there in the division of Rheumatology in the Department of Internal

Medicine. Unlike my local rheumy, this man listened to me and my concerns. I

was locally diagnosed as seronegative, but still didn't fit the profile

completely . After extensive testing in Ann Arbor, I was diagnosed as having

virally induced rheumatoid arthritis-like symptoms. Good folks there.

Listening is key. The general number for the clinic is 734.647.9000 if you

have questions.

Hi ,

My rheumy is out of the Petoskey area but she also has an office in Gaylord

which is where I go to see her. She is awesome and will listen to anything

you need to tell her, explains anything you don't understand, and does NOT

try to rush you out of her office. Her name is Dr. Irene Kazmers. I wouldn't

trade her for anything!

Shay and Jane,

Thank you for your response. Those locations are quite a ways away. But

I will keep them in mind as well as some of the others if I can't find a

decent one. I do have my eye on one that is about an hour and half a way.

I'm going to check her out first.

Thanks again for anyone who replied.

You are very welcome . I know what you mean about the distance. I have a

hour and a half drive one way when I go to see my rheumy and my body aches

bad by the time I get back home.

I hope you find a good one, Hun.
