Looking for a new rheumatologist in the greater Vancouver, bc area or the Fraser valley. My dr left and I am desperate for help.
I was referred to one but she was absolutely useless. I was telling her about my knee and she replied you have RA , what do you want me to do.

To help you in your research, did you check out the ‘Meet Others’ at the top of this page. You can put in your location and this will bring up a list of people in your area. Then you could check with them as to who they are seeing. People come and go on this site so you may get faster assistance this way. Just an idea. I hope you find a better RA Doctor.

Hi Lyz, hang in there. I have had similar experiences and symptoms. I was diagnosed last summer and am still trying to find the right med combo. It has been trial and error but getting closer. I am free to chat if you like. I am in the South Surrey area. Maybe some of my experiences might help.

WOW!!! You definitely need a new doctor!! "What do I want you to do??? Maybe act like a doctor" would have been my reply. I'm sorry that you had that experience 😔. I have to see several different specialists because I have A LOT of health issues besides the RA. I always read reviews for the doctors in my area and stay away from the ones who don't have good reviews from their patients. That has worked for me most of the time. My PCP is pretty good at matching me up with the specialists that I need also. Good luck to you.
