Anyone know of a good rheumatologist locally or in the Alex City area?
Michelle K. replied:
I use Elizabeth Perkins but she is in Hoover. She is wonderful. She takes plenty of time with you and really listens.
Catie S. replied:
Thank you, Michelle. I would like to stay a little more local, if i can. If not, i will definitely research Dr. Perkins. My sisters rheumatologist is at St. Vincents but I would love to give our local medical doctors a chance. We shall see.
Beth S. replied:
I didn't know Alex City had one but Dr. Perkins when she still came here 2 days a week was our only one here in Sylacauga. To me she is well worth the drive to Brookwood though. But I definitely understand about staying local and not having to drive. There really aren't alot of rheumatologists around except in like B'ham. I wasn't pleased with the first one I used at all. Dr Perkins is very through and finally found out exactly what was wrong with me.

I use Dr Joel Abbott. Rheumatology Associates in Birmingham. It's off Highland Ave. He sees my mom, me, my sister in laws mom, and one of his partners sees my sister in law. Call me if you are interested. My number is 256-404-8168
Tania B. replied:
Dr Abbott is in with Saway. Saway did a block in my back once.
Michelle K. replied:
Dr. Perkins came to sylacauga for several years and has just recently stopped. Hopefully, you can find someone closer.
Tammy G. replied:
I use Dr. Perkins as well. She is excellent!

My friend Deesha Durham Wolfe who is the office manager for Dr Roger Allen recommended Dr Dorsett in Gadsden.

It makes sense the TMJ but still make them do an EKG. Dr. Koslin is quite good. I have worked with him before with Dr. Rousso. I have TMJ problems, had them in High School. A bite block just doesn't get it. You need high end stuff for the grinding and...See More
TJ B. replied:
Hey Jaide Barnett Winn. Dr. Koslin is good if you need an oral surgeon. Dr Chip Taylor on Hollywood Blvd (also has a location in Hoover) is an orthodontist. He made a bite plate for me years ago and cured my jaw pain and head aches. Number is (205) 879-5216.
Liz E. replied:
Chip Taylor is my doc in retirement. I am calling it sabbatical. He is the one that gave me the above regime.
TJ B. replied:
Sorry Jaide Barnett Winn. I didn't know Dr. Taylor was on sabbatical.
Janie F. replied:
Dr Atwell
Jaide W. replied:
Janie Frazier, I thought of him. But, when I called Dr King, the dentist, they didn't say anything about him, so I was wondering if he still does TMJ. I thought I would call them.
Jaide W. replied:
George A Winn, boy do I feel so sorry for her. Does she have something she sleeps in?
Can you recommend a good rheumatologist in Palm Beach County? It is so hard to know who is the best. Eeek. Thank you.

Hello Patty, Thank you for reaching out. You may find the ACR's online geographic membership directory helpful to find a rheumatologist in your area. You can search by city/state: http://ww2.rheumatology.org/directory/geo.asp
I need a good Rheumatologist. Please do not recommend any at Brookwood. I will not use anyone at Brookwood. Prefer St. Vincents or UAB. Do any of my Birmingham...
Veronica K. replied:
Dr. Winn Chatham at UAB is my rheumatologist. I like him a lot.
Lynda I. replied:
Not going to anyone at Brookwood. Jessica and Patty, my problem was with an Orthopedic surgeon and the germ I picked up along with the ER submitting false claims. Nothing at all to do with any doctor and definitely not Dr. Eudy. My mom is actually waiting to be approved to see Dr. Eudy smile emoticon
Carroll H. replied:
Brookwood and Princeton FULL of staph... I would NOT go to either... Go to St. Vs....
Patty L. replied:
I understand why you feel the way you do, Lynda. I don't think your Mom will be disappointed with Dr. Eudy.

Vicki R. replied:
I see Dr. Joel Abbott at Rheumatology Associates. My sister sees a different guy in the same group. They are located on Highland Avenue near 21 st street. They use St. Vincents.
Marylou T. replied:
Have you considered acupuncture to deal with pain? Dr. Stephen Zhao on 31 in Hoover took away my pain in 2 visits. (it was only sciatica, but VERY painful) You can still do whatever else you are doing.
Mark W. replied:
Go see Al Paul tomorrow- on Highland Ave (Rheumatologists Associates)- better yet- go to the ER- NOW
Lorrie W. replied:
Dr. Anthony Turkiewicz is also at Rheumatology Associates. The whole group is awesome. I have been using them for years.
Tricia F. replied:
Love Anthony Turkiewicz at Rheumatology Associates. Very thorough, kind and compassionate.
