Have you been able to get an appt? I'm seeing one of his partner physicians, Brian Golden, next week because my Rheumatologist and I were told Dr Yazici is no longer accepting new patients.

I just returned from seeing Dr. Golden this week. As my TB[latent] tests came out positive last week, I was asked to start Imuran, and TB medication which usually lasts 9 months. After or during which, we will switch over to Humira [as suggested by the Retina Specialist]. My Rheumatologist was suggesting starting with Imuran from the beginning rather than CellCept, but was awaiting confirmation from NYU before we did the same. So far, I only one symptom of the Behcets, which is the Retinal Vasculitis....so Dr.Golden asked to continue on the path my Rheumatologist[Dr. Uzma Syeda] had recommended.
