Dr. Buchfuhrer

[dancer2]

In my recent post, I forgot to ask how to email Dr. M. Buchfuhrer. I have had several so with him over the past several years. However, I love in Illinois and he is in California. I have tried the following - [e-mail]. I have not been able to reach him. Can someone give me the correct way to reach him? Thank you.

That is the correct email.Dr Buchfuhrer can be quite particular.

He won't reply unless you address him as Doctor ( not Dr).

Or he may be out of town or very busy.

But he does usually respond.

I'm sorry but when I go to that site, I don't find anyway to email him. Evidently I am doing something wrong.

[Joolsg in reply to dancer2]

You just email in the normal way using your email address and send to [e-mail]

You don't need to use a link on his website.

[dancer2 in reply to Joolsg]

Thank you. Can't believe I am so dumb. I will try that

If you click on the yellow email button on his webpage rlshelp.org you will get indeed this emailaddress. Maybe try again? Or try to contact the head/coordinator of the South Californian support group, someone called Susan.

But - if you have been his patient, hasn’t he used some tele health system through which you can contact him again if needed?

[dancer2 in reply to LotteM]

I don't know what I am doing wrong but I tried his email at rlshelp.org and I do not see a yellow email button. I only see information about his office (phone, fax , etc.,)

[LotteM in reply to dancer2]

It is just above the text in green ‘expert medical consultation for rls’

Maybe his mailbox is full. Or he is occupied elsewhere and hasn’t had time to answer yet. I would try again. Or phone.

[dancer2 in reply to LotteM]

Thank you so much to all of you who responded so quickly. Once I sent the email correctly, it worked. He has already responded. Thanks again

[dancer2 in reply to dancer2]

I called his office and was told that I can only contact him through an office visit.

[Graceman]

he does video visits. I see him 3x a year on a Zoom call

[dancer2 in reply to Graceman]

Where do you live? I have had 3 Zoom visits with him during COVID. He told me he cannot do them anymore since I live in Illinois.

[cnote1213 in reply to dancer2]

California is no longer allowing him to prescribe medication via zoom calls to patients in states where he is not licensed. I have to fly to California twice a year to see him to get my prescription filled in Utah.

[dancer2 in reply to cnote1213]

That is what I was told. Thanks
