Guest guest Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Hi Katey. I am in S.W. Flordia between Ft. Myers and Sarasota. I love my Rheumy and she has offices in Bradenton and Sarasota. Her Name is Dr. Tatianna Huquenin and is in the Sarasota Arthritis Center, very easy to find. She has been my Rheumy since I moved to Florida 6 years ago. She is accepting new patients. She is so warm, smart, caring and always just a phone call away. She has me in a full remission for 1 1/2 years now. She is awlays there for me, and I just love her.  I hope you begin to feel better soon.  Hugs,  Barbara From: Katey Fontaine <fuzzyfontaine@...> Subject: [ ] West Central Florida Date: Friday, July 23, 2010, 2:36 PM   Thanks I am near Crystal River but for the right doc I would be up for the drive > Right now I am using a RA doc in Ocala who has managed to loose my bloodwork > .
