Doctor recommendation

[Guest guest]

Rockville Center is a bit far for me, but thanks. I go to

Rheumatology<br>Associates of Long Island, and have seen several different

doctors there.<br>They are a huge practice so I always have to wait, its

impossible to get an<br>appointment, and they never call back if you call with

an issue.

Hi all,

Do any of you have a good doctor in the Walnut Creek area that works with adults and knows Celiac? My kids see a pediatrician so I had no recommendations for my friend below. Please respond to me and I will forward info to her.

Thanks

I apologize for the duplicate post, but I thought people with any of these issues: Celiacs / Auto-Immune Disorders / Immunodepressed are likely to have good doctor recommendations for my mother.This is my previous post:I am moving my mother from the Central Valley and looking for a medical team for her in my area. I live in Walnut Creek but willing to travel a bit for a wonderful doctor because my mother is extremely, seriously ill.Please email me at my personal address pillbugalug@ gmail.com if anyone has had any personal experiences, pro, con or in-between, with either of these doctors who work at Bayside Medical in Berkeley on Telegraph Avenue. These are primary care physicians. Doctor Eichel also works in Alameda. I found only a little about Dr. Eichel online and nothing about Dr. Nguyen.My mother needs doctors understanding and experienced with Celiacs Disease and other Auto-Immune Disorders. Her problems are difficult to treat and often illnesses crop up that are rare or hard to even diagnose (as in, what IS that rash? :-) so the doctors need to be patient with that and not brush her off. Her immune system is severely depressed to where she often cannot ever get rid of an infection once she has it, so she now has quite a collection. She has life threatening allergies to most foods, medicines (including anti-biotics) , and all kinds of other things. She has a myriad of issues including neuropathy, severe chronic pain, things like strept, sinus infections, etc that she has had for years which never go away and I think are secondary to the Celiacs because that, as well as the 18 years of exposure to toxic Black Mold at her workplace, were diagnosed so late in her life and her treating physicians didn't understand it so she never received proper care or instructions for self-care. She is housebound and mostly bed bound due to her risk of contracting infections if she is around people, and also from her extreme pain from any movement.In addition to a Primary Physician, I need to find a good Gastroenterologist, Neurologist, Allergist and Nutritionist (familier with issues such as my mom's) who all take insurance. Im hoping to find a Primary Physician who will see her for a first appointment very soon , but I will still appreciate references to good doctors with whom she might not be able to see for awhile.For now though I need to get her in to a primary doctor asap because 1. Her old doc isn't worth his salt and she is in great need of immediate care 2. She won't leave her home without knowing she's got an appoinment to go to.Thank you for advice / recommendations!Dany(925) 352-4427
