Hi, Jill and Becky! Baylor University has several rheumatologists in a town 1 hour away. I guess it might be time to explore changing doctors. I moved in 2020 and had to change doctors then, so I'm not relishing doing it again. But, I just don't feel like there is adequate communication with my current doctor. Boy, do I miss my old doctor! Thank you both!

@sheilaray I’m glad you’re going to try a new doctor, but might i suggest you do a little research first. You can look them up on Baylor University’s website or the medical association in the town where they are located. You want to see 1. If they have a good reputation, 2. Have RA as a sub specialty, 3. Are Board Certified in rheumatology.

My sister had to do this. When she met the doctor, she said how much she appreciated his seeing her and trying to help her. She felt he was so helpful.
When you get your appointment, be sure to let us know!
