I have every confidence she could help me with any health issue I have, and her referrals have always been excellent as well.<BR/><BR/>Her name is Dr Amy Numrych, and she's with Bellevue Family Medicine in Bellevue, WA (just outside of Seattle). Even though I've moved further away, I'm staying with her.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps!<BR/><BR/>Be well,<BR/>MJMJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03540633438951294127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824828113983189391.post-3433473905406907572009-01-26T16:19:00.000-05:002009-01-26T16:19:00.000-05:00Thanks, Christina!

I still make the trek up to Baltimore to see him for periodic appointments, after moving to Silver Spring, MD a few years ago after college. He has been a great doctor (rheumatologist) and has gotten me through my worst times with lupus at the beginning of my diagnosis, not to mention the whole team of dedicated doctors in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Sinai Hospital literally saved my life!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01765322600456920828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824828113983189391.post-29649965844756672652009-01-25T18:02:00.000-05:002009-01-25T18:02:00.000-05:00Thanks to you both for sharing!

I have been to doctors for about 5 years trying to come up with a diagnosis and he knew it right away, even before all the blood work was in. His name is Dr. Jared Morton. Although his people skills are not ideal, he is AMAZINGLY smart and won't rest till he has a diagnosis. Very well respected!Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787721582399677467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824828113983189391.post-81294959946244511562009-01-24T03:05:00.000-05:002009-01-24T03:05:00.000-05:00I was diagnosed with Lupus in 1995 and of all the ...I was diagnosed with Lupus in 1995 and of all the different doctors I've seen during that time (which have been many because we're a military family) two have been the best to me. The first was Dr. Beth Ann Derfus who was at the time practicing in the Rheumatology office at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, WI. She has since relocated, but I haven't been able to contact her. The second was Dr. Prahba Ranganathan. She was last practicing at the Multi-Specialty Office at Washington University Medical Center in St. Louis, MO. Both of them literally saved my life at different times, and both are in my opinion dedicated doctors who listen to their patients needs and do everything in their power to get them well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
