Hi

I'm looking for a different doctor in the NYC area. I am unsatisfied with my previous rheumatologist. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd like patient reviews but if not maybe a website that has patient reviews of doctors.

I've seen many rheumatologists in the NY area. I don't know which you have already seen, but I could recommend Hal Mitnick with NYU. When I was younger I saw Thomas Lehman with Hospital for Special Surgery. You might look on the NYU, HSS, Mt. Sinai, Columbia Presbyterian websites at the various doctors profiles. Take a look at their interests and specialties to help determine which doctor is good for you. It's really pretty hit or miss with rheumatologists, I've found. Good luck.

Thank you so much. I will try that. I was with Stephen Bernstein.
