Re Dr s in DC

[Guest guest]

HI, I am going to a Dr in Kingston MD, just north of DC off i-495 and east of

270. its the MIRKIN medical office. I saw DR Mirkin (you can google him he has a

web site) but I had to wait 4 months for an apt and he did not take my

insurance.. but then i was told there are two others in his office (young DRs)

and one does take my insurance, so now im seeing Dr Menon. also there is Dr

Wong. so you can get an appointment with them MUCH MUCH sooner. I think Dr

Mirkin wanted to see me first then let me switch to Dr menon. So far I am happy

with my Dr there and I drive anywhere from 1 1/2 hr to 3 hrs to get there

(depending on traffic) and lose a day at work too. but I am also asking other

questions from her like about thyroid and hormones, as I feel they do a better

job than my local Drs do. So Google Dr Mirkin and you can get the phone numbers

and address from his website (Gabe Mirkin) (ps he is retiring so youll need to

switch to another Dr anyway, Dr menon or Dr Wong) Kathy in WV.

Hi -

I was diagnosed with lupus a year and a half ago and experienced my first

flare this past fall. I am now on Prednisone (12.5 mg) and have tried taking

Plaquenil but did not have a good response to it. This weekend, I began reading

about antibiotic therapy. I have ordered the book " The New Arthritis

Breakthrough " and am interested in talking with a doctor who practices ABT with

lupus

patients. I would be interested in any information on doctors in the

Washington DC metro area (DC, Virginia, and land).

I am thankful to hear there might be more hope out there, and thank you for

your help on this path -

Jan
