rheumatologist Lincolnshire

[Madewestie]

hi, I am in the process of moving to Lincolnshire and wondered if anyone had the name of a lovely rheumatologist who has good people skills and listens.

[KittyJ]

are you looking for a private rheumy?

[medway-lady]

Doesn't Deep live that way hopefully she might reply soon. Personally I think best one is the one you can see as around here they are rarer than unicorns. I've had a nice but still locum for 3 years or so.

team at Lincoln/Boston run by Dr Tait are good. It’s not (as many are) as good as it was but the team work hard and do get back to you and talk. I have just moved so in the process of leaving them.

Is Dr Tait a good rheumatologist Deeb? I’m not very happy with Grimsby team so Boston might be a better option for me 🤔🤔🤔 xxx

[Deeb1764 in reply to Kati66]

He’s good but if complicated medical background can be a bit treacle walking but the nurse team lovely and they do get back to you. He might be due for retirement soon.

[Kati66 in reply to Deeb1764]

There seems to be so many older rheumatologists now. Dr Szbenyi is my current dr and I feel he will be retiring soon too. Where are all the new younger doctors specialising in rheumatology!!

I live in Nottingham and had phone call from my consultant this week to see how I was and was sad to hear he is retiring. I have seen the same consultant for 18 years.All thanks to him and his team for keeping me relatively pain free , able and mobile. Hopefully his replacement will be just as good 😊

So he's retiring? Interesting since I've been on a waiting list to see him after being on injections after 3 months. I call the reception desk and all they do is pass my info on and I never hear back. Good to see some people getting the care they need but I don't have feel forgotten about especially in these dark time

Hi Jack, have you tried contacting the rheumatology nurses. They are very helpful if you experiencing any problems.

[Jack2316 in reply to Pythagorus]

I believe I have but if you want to send me a number incase it's different. They can never really help because what I need is to find out is what happens next. I recently lost my job and finding another job with my problems have been near impossible so I needed guidance on whether I am fit for work or not. And what I can do to better my chances etc.

[Pythagorus in reply to Jack2316]

Hi Jack if you attend QMC rheumatology department Nottingham the advice line number is 01159 709 325. Have you also spoken to your GP and phoning NRAS are a good listening ear and may be able to guide you on your next step. I do hope one of these suggestions will help you. Let me know how you get on. Best wishes

are you moving to North Lincolnshire

I have recently seen Dr Shaza Obaid at the Lincoln County Hospital. She is also a private consultant I believe at the Blue circle Hospital Lincoln. I have seen different rheumatologists in the last few years as they do seem to change them. I have always been happy with my care whoever I have seen and always got the treatment needed. I miss my old rheumatologist Dr v kaushik that originally diagnosed but not sure where he disappeared too 😢

[Lhasalover]

Dr Gillot and his team at Diana Princess of Wales Hospital. Dr Gillot also works privately at St Hughes in Grimsby too. x

I saw Dr Alvi at Grimsby and was not impressed, he dismissed most of my symptoms.
