Re: Wegeners Granulomatosis / GPA specialists
Any GPA docs that are nephrologists? My experience is that division of rheumatology doesn't treat you if your kidneys become involved.

My experience was having several specialists that all made recommendations to the one doctor who weighed and balanced the recommendations and made the final orders for treatment. They often conflicted since a treatment that might help one organ might be dangerous for another organ. My health care director consulted with this primary doctor to select what they thought was best option for treatment depending upon current status. One of the many specialists were nephrologists along with at least a half dozen others. They also consulted with several world known experts on how to treat my Wegener's GPA.
Knowledge is power! Wisdom is using it to make good decisions!

Re: Wegeners Granulomatosis / GPA specialists
Tampa Florida - part of Vasculitis Foundation - sees GPA patients every Wednesday
Yih Chang Lin, MD, USF - Division of Rheumatology
Dr Lin is very knowledgeable, bedside manner is more of a scientist than health care worker, however I have worked hard on making the relationship more heartfelt. I even bring him things I learn from here and from AI engines on cutting edge medications, etc. I trust his expertise.
My ENT doctor is Dr Jonathan Forman, in south Tampa, phone # 813-877-3100. he is extremely caring and has helped with the damage to Nose, Ear and Throat.

Re: Wegeners Granulomatosis / GPA specialists
My new GPA doc. She’s a good listener and is maintaining my treatment regimen.
Lynne Fussner, MD
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center
Department of Pulmonology
(614)293-4925
She did a vasculitis fellowship under Ulrich Specks at Mayo Clinic.
I reluctantly left Dr VillaForte at Cleveland Clinic because the drive was getting to be too much.
