Hi

One of the best Lupus Dr on Long Island is Dr Richard Furie at North Shore Hospital in Manhasset he is the Dr who diagnosed me 18 yrs ago

But I now see Dr Allen Kaell in Port Jeff Sta. its much less of a drive for me and he is also very good
Let me know how you make out

Best wishes to your friend

Hi Joanne,

I've moved your post to the Find a Doctor forum as you will hopefully get more responses there. I've also edited it and deleted the other post you had. The only difference in the other post was that she also has Graves disease, so I've included that in this one :)

I hope she finds a good Lupus doctor :flowers:

love

I used to see Dr. Peter Rumore at Rheumatology Assoiates of Long Island in Melville. I thought he was good.

The Graves disease is a disease of the thyroid gland, and for that, she'll need to see an endocrinologist (as well as a rheumatologist for the SLE lupus).

Good luck,
