Every Rheum I’ve tried to get in with is too busy and will not see me even with referral. I’m willing to travel but would prefer to start close to home .. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Are you looking for rheumatologist recommendations in the East Tennessee or Memphis area who are accepting new lupus patients?

While specific doctor recommendations for your area aren't available in the current information, there are helpful ways to find a rheumatologist you can trust:

- Ask others in your area for recommendations or reach out to nearby support groups, like your local chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America
- Search the American College of Rheumatology database for rheumatologists in your region
- Consider that you might be limited by location or insurance coverage, but doing research can help you find someone who will be part of your care team for years

Finding a rheumatologist you feel comfortable with is important since these relationships often last 10, 15, 20, or even 30 years. You should feel comfortable asking them anything about your treatments, side effects, and concerns.
