Look for a RA doctor that is also Integrative. Look for one that understands and is following the research that shows there is a gut micobiome and RA connection. Look for a doctor that will talk to you more then 10 minutes and wants to develop a relationship of wellness with you on this journey. Look for a doctor that's willing to talk to you about food and toxins in your environment.
Avoid doctors that can only talk to you about medicine or feel that there is no way out - there is just medicine.
I personally have had to get one of both kinds in order to manage my RA. I am now in remission for over a year.
Best of luck and I hope this may help.
