I am looking for a sjogrens specialist in the London or London/kent area.
(Not St Thomas` please).
It is also important that the doctor is very nice and understanding etc....and will take my minor symptoms seriously (minor - but causing me real problems when they flare).
I dont want to waste my time seeing any unhelpful/dismissive rheumatologists....but somebody who is contactable/helpful when I am feeling particularly unwell......somebody that I can see on an ongoing basis to keep an eye on things.
I dont know where to start to find such a doctor (lady doctor would be nice)...but once I know of somebody I can ask me GP whether they can refer me.....I know that you can only be referred within a certain area....but my GP is very good.
I have seen my local rheumatologist in the past but he was not helpful.
Thank you very much.
Best wishes
