I love the docs at USC. Dr. Arkfeld is my rheumy, but I've also seen

Dr. Shinada, and heard good things about the other ones.

They're just off Soto St., not far from I-10 just east of downtown.

Welcome Tom,

I had three rounds of Rituxan. Since then, until recently, I have been off all

meds with no signs of RA. About a month ago the RA symptoms started to reappear.

So far the symptoms are fairly mild and just affecting my hands and wrists.

Hi Tom: It is very nice to meet you. I live in florida so I don't know

any Rheumy's in your new area.

I sure hope your RA feels better in California. Welcome to our

wonderful group.

Wishing you many pain free days ahead.

Hugs,

Barbara

Tom,

I used to live in Los Angeles, specifically Pasadena; I loved my rheumy there.

His name is O'Conner and he is out of Pasadena on Ave. There are

other great rheumy's in his office and the staff were great (they were when I

was there, it has been 5 years). Hope I could be of help. Take care.

Everyone seems to have given you some good choices friend - let me just add -

when in doubt- check these websites out - all you have to enter is the TYPE doc

(specialty) & location - it will give you details on that doc and any remarks

from patients. I've used it to find a new rheumy with great luck -

www.ratemds.com  and www.vitals.com . Hope that helps - good luck to you and

please keep us all posted!
