Looking for a GOOD doc in Southwest VA..Need your help..

Thanks, greatgran

I just saw Dr Sharp. I am impressed with him. I am on a lot of supplements again. Now he thinks I may have fibro on top of CFS. He says I fit the criteria. He did a lot of labs, I will see him in September to go over the labs and see what we will do next. I have a lot of confidence in dr sharp. Not in love with the pay up front idea, but I have run out of options. They do file your insurance paperwork for labs... He treats FM and CFS Dr Larry Sharp 8509 Western Hills Blvd Suite 300 Fort Worth, TX 76108 817-246-7676 www.cfidsdoctor.com

I need a good CFIDS doc in Massachusetts (boston); one that takes insurance.

Thanks.

I got his name from the old 'good doctor's' list. Took me 2 months to get an appointment. This is the BEST rheumatologist I have ever seen. I cried when I got home because he really know FM and all it's treatments. I have alot of OA also and he immediately took xrays and blood work. Has been giving me cortisone injections and aspirated fluid from my hip and shoulder. Has put me on new meds. And best news yet - I got a letter from SSA today saying that they have finally approved me - and I'm sure this is only since they got my latest reports from this doctor. ...Bobbi

bumping for more "good Dr's!

I am seeing a good doctor right now but he wants me to have injections that I really don't want to have. I have told him that I don't like the odds of the knee injections that are for lubraction. The odds are 30/70 30 % of the time they work and 70% of the time they don't. It is not worth it to me to have needles in my knee's.

I wish I could just find a good pain doctor that would just treat me for the pain and not try to cure me . I have other conditions besides fibro. I have end stage osteo arthritis both knee's, Degenrative disc disease, spinal stenosis, buldging discs, arthritis in my left wrist from shattering it, pain in my tail bone.

ON my first visit he asked me "So when are you going to get your knee's replaced ?" I said "Not any time soon". It is not that I don't want to be cured but most of the pain I have is long term and not fixalbe. I would like to have some one who belived in treating my pain and not trying to do things that don't work well. I am one of those people who have had bad reactions to meds, steriods alot, Utram , Toradol,Cymbalta and other antidepressants.

I really don't want to keep trying meds that seem to only make me feel worse and make me sick all the time. I would just like to have a good day where my pain is reduced and when I see the doctor he is more concerned about how I react to the pain meds he gives me. Is that too much to ask?

I had a good pain doctor but he had some legal problems and I don't know if he is still in practice.

Thanks ~HUGS~ Rosemarie

Someone wrote this review: Anonymous (San Francisco, CA) – April 04, 2007

She is friendly and seems concerned but she is too busy. One year she skipped my labs and I have a family history of cancer and diabetes. I am afraid she is going to overlook something because she has too many patients.

I agree she's very busy but she's been good for me for CFS.

I also see Northern California Arthritis: DR. Dixit Rajiv K MD

120 La Casa Via # 204 Walnut Creek, CA 94598 (925) 210-1050

He's a rheumy that I see for my LTD for FMS.

I want to also respond to what someone else wrote. No, I did not get CFS/ME and secondary FMS from holding in resentment or anger etc...I was in the prime of my life and having a great time in college and I wasn't under pressure or anything. Life was good, I was in great shape, everything was working out well for me. I was a happy camper.

for one in south east VA. Anyone from around here?

bumpitty up

Dr.Quinn auburn ny awesome doctor!!!

more docs please....

This is a great idea, wish I had someone to add but have not found that one yet.

Bump!

Dr. Wright works at Meridian Health Group. They are a pain clinic and take all sorts of insurance. Besides Dr. Wright, there is another pain doctor named Dr. Gould. They also work with Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapist, Psychologists, Psychiatrist, Podiatrist, and a Sleep Doctor. They are all at this clinic. Dr. Arbuck, the Psychiatrist, is also a Pain Doctor. They have all done the best for me since I was diagnosed 10 years ago.

Dr. Guyer treats patients unorthodoxically and does not take insurance. I met him years ago and found him to be very arrogant. I didn't like him at all.

Before I found Meridian Health Group, I went to a Dr. Kevin Logan (across the street from Community Hospital North). He is a "regular" doctor but also treats his patients unorthodoxically. He also does not take insurance. He got to be too expensive for me. Then I found Meridian Health Group and knew I found the best group of doctors for me.

Bump!

What a shame. I've just switched again and will let you know later if he's a "good" doctor."
