Re: Trying Another Rheumatologist

[Guest guest]

Hi my name is and I have been seeing my rheumatologist for 18 years and I

have recmmended him to many people encluding family members and everyone is very

happy with him. His name is Dr. G.Gelfand he has an office in Pico which

I use and the number there is area code (562)861-0954 he also has an office in

the city of Brea but I don't have the number there. I'm sure that you can call

the other office for any information you may need. Good Luck and I hope that you

will try him.

I am jumping back in the pool and trying another rheumatologist. I called and

made the appointment today. The office staff said he requires referral from a

primary care provider, but I explained I was already diagnosed before and sent

to a rheumatologist, and I stopped going because he refused to treat me for

rheumatoid arthritis unless I went on permanent disability. Until then, he kept

insisting I come in any time I had swelling so he could look at it, and he kept

testing me for Lupus and telling me I didn't have any of the signs of Lupus. I

couldn't miss work every day and I couldn't have knuckles the size of walnuts

every day, so I went back to my PCP and got a prescription for Celebrex. The

woman left the phone for a while, then came back and said, " Okay, we can give

you an appointment. "

So now, I hope this guy is good, and not like the last person I saw. Does

anyone have any experience with any rheumatologists in Orange County,

California?
