Looking for primary care physician in Wichita, KS

[Guest guest]

I am looking for a good PCP (Primary Care Physician) in Wichita, KS.

I would like to find one with at least a couple of patients with PA

so they would have some idea of how to treat me and the possible side

affects. I have a good Rheumatologist (Dr. Mortinstein); however, my

doctor doesn't seem to put any credit to what he recommends.

I am fairly new to PA. I am 42 and was diagnosed less then a year ago

with P but my skin really wasn't bad at all. I started having

toe/foot/ankle problems and swelling at the end of June and was

diagnosed with PA in October. I've finally started Enbrel (as my

Rheumatologist recommended) and after 2 shots starting a little over

a week ago I've have had significant improvement. I can walk faster

than a snail's pace! And my feet don't hurt nearly so bad! The

constant pain was draining. It's amazing how much more I can get done

at work and at home. I've cut off the Tylenol but am still working on

reducing the maximum strength prescription Naproxin.

I really want a PCP that will work with me and my Rheumatologist –

and at least discuss things with the Rheumatologist when they have

opposite opinions of what I should do. This has been a very stressful

situation.
