I feel very fortunate to deal with my rheumatologist and his PA. They helped me through a very difficult time when I almost lost my vision from GCA. They prescribed Actemra to help taper off prednisone more quickly, and gave me a taper plan that has worked well so far. Also they're easy to contact if I need anything. I can call or email their office, and they have an off-hours emergency number that is always staffed. They have always gotten back in touch with me quickly whenever I had any problems or questions.
