Thanks for sharing that info, Debra. I'll be sure to check out doctors there for experience. And I agree, better than making the big move to Cleveland.

Nothing can break you; you are much stronger than you think... look at what you've already survived.
Just saw a note on Facebook that Dr Chang Lin, a fellow at Cleveland Clinic, will be setting up shop at University of South Florida in August or September. Hope he's a good one.

Thanks, Pete! I got that email this morning and posted it there since I've been talking with a few people in that group to try to find someone here... just logged on here to share it with this group - I see you beat me to it. I didn't get any contact info from them, though I did a search and did find he is a rheumatologist. So happy there's finally one coming here. It's great news for all the Floridians.

I hope he turns out to be great! Now if one would just set up shop around here....

I'll work my magic and see what I can do, Anne... maybe persuade a doctor at the symposium to move near you.

Thanks, Rebekah.... it may just be that there isn't enough population concentration here, overall, compared to anywhere on the east coast. But with more and more people being dx'ed, maybe...... not that we want more people dx'ed, but it seems to be happening, and could lead to better and more available treatment in the long run.

I’ve looked into it and there unfortunately isn’t an experienced doctor for WG at the CC in Weston (at least not when I last checked). Dr. Lee is at Mayo in Jacksonville, and I'm sure he’s good since he’s on the VF website. I’m considering going to see him. As soon as I hear something about Dr. Lin and USF (ie, his experience and when he's accepting patients) I’ll be sure to update you.

I maybe spending the winter in Fl. so let me know if you do find a good one ! Good Luck
Where is the USF ?
Life isn't about how you survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain !
USF is in Tampa
