I'm needing a rheumatologist now that I have another auto-immune disease. There are no specialist where I live. The Mayo Clinic in Phoenix does not accept Medicare(!). They told me to call the Mayo Clinic in Rochester "because it's a bigger facility"?? I've had little luck searching the reviews of rheumatologists in Arizona.

Dr. Sheetal K. Chhaya, DO 2525 E Roosevelt St, Phoenix, AZ 85008, USA, I have not seen her yet but was referred by someone in the fibromyalgia group here. She likes her. She had good ratings online too.
Dr. Trent Smith is the best in the valley :) He works at:

@A MyFibroTeam Member I've also been diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica. They deal with both. I'm sorry things haven't changed much since I was first diagnosed with FM over 30 years ago. Good luck in your search. Gentle {{hugs}}
I have found the majority of Rheumatologist’s don’t like dealing with Fibro patients. They are good for checking labs but other than that, I have seen three that don’t take me seriously. I am now searching for #4 in the Dallas/Ft Worth area.
Good luck 🍀
My doctor referred me to one. I will look it up and post. I am in Colorado.
