Rheumatologists in Point Cook, Australia

Dr Norman Hohl Gold Coast, one of the best GPS (an known for it) on the coast, I was diagnosed with fibro, turns out I had a hole my heart..... had it closed 3 years ago, my recovery has been amazing !! look a little further there are alot of diseases and problems that can mimic Fibro... Good Luck, keep trying:)

For pain management I see Dr Watson at Sunnybank specialist centre. He is a muscular skeletal specialist and he specialises in fibromyalgia and gives lectures. When it was even too painful to wash up, he used a combination of manipulation, cortisone injections and acupuncture. I'd recommend him to anyone.

Dr Louise McCormack or Dr Peter Landsberg at Greenslopes, same clinic and I travel from Rockhampton <3 Jacqui

Dr Malcolm Ash at Toowong Village Medical Centre, Fantastic with Fibro, he doesn't do "vaginas" being a big flamboyant gay man, but he takes as long as you need, takes the time it takes, can run very late but will never rush you and is experienced. Also never batted an eye at my lying on the floor for consults when sitting hurt too much.

Have pm my friend will post back when I hear from her . Centrelink is tricky because you have to meet a 20 point scale . I thinks it's 20 ... And try go off what your Drs write on their form . There is a great dr at deception bay dr Fitzgerald 3203 2644 only thing is she doesn't bulk bill and works only certain hours she is very thorough and the one I'm seeing now due to not being able to go to her often when she doesn't bulk bill is dr Salamat Morayfield medical and dental . Its a walk on clinic and u just sit and wait . He's also very thorough but with auto immune etc so hard to diagnose, hope you can find one that can help hon, know what it's like xo

Whoops! www.painmanagement.org.au

I fly from Townsville to see Dr Louise McCormack at Greenslopes.

There are no Rheumatologists that specialise in Fibromyalgia in Brisbane unfortunately and it will take months to years to see one publicly. I had to wait 5 months to see any Rheumatologist privately (I rang every one in Brissie). The two Rheumatologists that I have seen privately in Brisbane don't seem to be up to date with the research/causes of Fibromyalgia. Dr Helen Broom is a great, holistic GP (Tyack Health-Manly) that is understanding but a lot of her suggestions can be costly and complementary medicine based

Im in Norman Park also and my Dr Anna Mcelrea from Greenslopes Family Practice has just put in a referral to the RBW Hospita for mel to see a Rheumatologist and for pain management

Dr Ryan Aspley medical centre. I have had FM over 20 years he has been my doctor for nearly 15 years he doesnt give prescription drugs like oxy and endone he has specialised in FM/CFS Chemical sensativtes and most GPs who think FM is a crock dont really like him because he believes his patients and can pretty much tell you what your deficent in by your symptoms and then shows you he is right after blood tests lol He treats as Naturally as he can and he really does know his stuff. PM if you like otherwise Good Luck xx

if you are willing to drive to the gold coast my specialist is Dr Sharma. he is brilliant. Worth the drive

This is my Dr. He is awesome. I spent 3 Years trying to get a diagnosis and this guy was amazing. http://www.brisbanejointhealth.com.au/ Dr chin

I second Arthritis Care in Dutton Park. I see Louise McCormack and she's been very good to me. She's up to date on fibromyalgia and knows it DOES exist

Dr Peter Robinson at the Royal Brisbane & Womans Hospital is awesome

I see Dr Klestov. He is amazing!!! www.rheumatology.net.au/

Dr.Sonja Nagel 20 Isabel street Toowoomba Ph..46130549 Need a referal

Arthritis care Dutton park

Gemma Strickland from Barwon Rheumatology is fantastic...she is based in Geelong but travels to Ballarat once a month..

Im in Bendigo and see a neurologist in melbourne re: Neuropathy. He shares his room with a rheumatologists.03 9499 5255 located 249 Waterdale Rd Ivanhoe. However if you speak to your Doctor I believe one comes to Bendigo once per Month. Good luck.

I see Katy Over in Shepparton she bulk bills. She is wonderful.i saw someone else before I could get into her I'm so glad she was worth the wait.

I see Dr Marie Feletar in Dandenong... But of a drive I know, but if you are stuck.

Being diagnosed with RA in 2003 and fibro in 2005. I'm and very grateful to finally find Gemma Strickland from Barwon Rheumatology this year. Can't recommend her enough

I agree with Felicity Gemma Strickland is fantastic. She is very much in demand, so you may have to travel to Geelong for first app. But let them know you would prefer Ballarat and they will put you on a cancellation list for Ballarat. But if the one that comes to Bendigo is OK its the cheaper option. I had to try three times to find a Rheumy that I felt cared, had up to date knowledge and writes detailed letters about consult, so GP knows what's going on.

I live in Mildura but my rheumatologist is in Melbourne. Her name is Dr Sabina Ciciriello and she works from royal melb hospital. I find her good because she tries to look at all aspects of your life and health.

following this, im from bendigo too & have seen Mr Griffins from Barwon Rheumatology in Geelong he gave me the diagnoses, but just told me to sleep & exercise & see my local Gp who is great but doesn't know much at about FIBROMYALGIA ;(,so if there is a visiting rheumatologist id like to know too

I'm the same as Sally Steele I see Sabina Ciccrielo at Royal Melb Private. Also David Barraclough at RMPH is a great Rheumy.

Dr Eugene Ang he has an practice in West Perth 92263228 and Kalamunda 92933022 he is amazing

I live down nowra area and I see Dr Jaworski from Wollongong but he goes to Standish Medical Center at nowra on Thursdays in box me for more details it is no problem. He is fantastic and very thorough

Dr Maxine Szramka - Rheumatologist comes to Nowra once a month. 44231977, she is fantastic

Dr Daniel Lewis is highly regarded "specialist" in fibromyalgia - and is in Brighton

Daniel Lewis is who I would recommend- I travel from country NSW to see him - he's the best !

Dr Mark Patrick specialises in fibromyalgia. He's my rheumatologist. He's in David St Dandenong. (across the rd from the hospital)

Dr M Miller is at Cabini Brighton. Dr D Lewis, someone tried in the Melb group, he is expensive.

I see Dr Daniel Lewis at his St Kilda practice and like Lauren Cook says he really is a specialist in this area, and is involved in studies. He is amazing.

Anne Powell in Cheltneham (not really south-east, but the more the 'merrier' right?).Dunno yet how good she is yet, but she is kind and gets it..we are still trialling meds etc..

I just saw dr Stephen Hall at Cabrini medical centre in Malvern and I'm pretty happy, none of them can do miracles but he was very supportive and in the long term was happy to be my rheumatologist on record for meds without having to go back. I can give you his number if you'd like, let me know. Good luck xxxooo

I see Dr Daniel Lewis who is highly regarded in this field

yep Daniel Lewis http://www.daniellewis.com.au/index.php/2013-03-27-09-19-27/making-an-appointment

I've seen the rheumatologist Dr Stanley Seah a couple of times. He's nice and helpful. He's in Derby St just down from Nepean hospital.

I also recommend Dr Stanley Seah in Penrith.

Dr Ilana Ginges at Randwick she is very good and is very knowledgeable about FMS

Dr Anthony Schwarzer ! Hunter Valley Private Hospital ! Shortland, Newcastle ! 0249 5500 00

There are a couple of doctors at Prince Alfred in the city which I will get my GPS to refer me they actually look into fibro I don't know how good they are there is only 5 in Sydney

Dr Thressa Dawson port macquarie is a rheumatologist who specializes in fybromyalgia.

I saw Dr Raymond White- Rheumatologist. He is at Bigge St, Liverpool, NSW and I found him very good. He diagnosed me straight away and not only prescribed my medication but he explained what FM is to my husband who came to the appointment with me. He is an older gentleman but I found him good.

Maria Lastra Feliu I'm sorry you didn't get the help you needed from Dr Schachna. I write a summery of how I have been in between visits and write a list of anything I want to ask. He is very efficient but also polite and answers everything for me. He reads my summery, asks what he needs to, does a" manual check up" answers my questions and does scripts when needed, also changes them if I say it's not working. Visits get cheaper after the first. I hope you find a Dr that's good for you. xx

Lionel Schachna in Heidelberg

Dr Simon Lam in Ivanhoe

Rheumatologist Mr Stephen Hall, Consulting suites Cabrini Hospital, Isabella Street, Malvern, He is a associate professor I think. Extremely good intuitive medico. Good luck.

Dr Littlejohn at Monash medical centre

Dr Mano Thevathasan in Frankston is fantastic and has a kind & caring nature

Lionel Schachna he is in Heidelberg

Professor Russell Buchanan at the Austin is very knowledgeable about our condition

Peter Ryan, Rheumatologist, Cabrini Brighton.

Krishna Mendelson or similar

Essentially he is right. You need to consider a LLMD or Natural Pathic Doctor. A more Eastern, wholestic approach. http://www.envita.com/lyme-disease/finally-one-link-established-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-cfs-lupus-fibromyalgia-autoimmune-disease-chronic-lyme-disease/

Dr Mandalasan is in Sale. He is a specialised physician. Think this is who Donna means.i see Dr Boers rheumy atMaryvale Private. Believe there is one at Latrobe hospital called DrTim Woodruff. good luck

I've seen Dr Tim Woodruff before Dr Daniel Lewis. He was ok but Dr Lewis is WAY better. More au fait with Fibromyalagia as being a valid condition. Considering Chinese medicine, yoga & dietary changes as part of your strategy against this tricky syndrome may be worthwhile.

I have a GP here in Frankston. Her name is Emily Rickman. For years I have had doctors sweep my symptoms under the carpet but she is fantastic. Although not a specialist she has made all the right referrals and is actively trying to help me. She's at Peninsula Family General Practice

Dr Monagool in Berwick for a specialist, he has helped me so much, not sure if that's the correct spelling, but I highly recommend him!

Dr Alex Stockman (Rheumatologist ) 9687 7733 ... Boronia & Footscray ~ lovely older guy who listens!!!!!

Dr Monagel at frankston pain management he is great and my gp dr hardy at carrum downs medical centre has a heart of gold and has helped me immensely

You can get a referral to the Monash Rhumy Clinic there is a bit of a wait to get into it 6 mths but at least there onboard with fibro and they bulk bill and save u getting on the merry go round as i have done

Dr daniel Lewi. St Kilda also at Epworth Hospital. AMAZING.

Dr Presgrave is a neurologist who does Richmond and west mead I think. Also a natural therapist I use who is fantastic is Irene Horvath at blacktown, highly recommend.

Kathy, I see Rheumatologist Peter Johnson. He has offices in Penrith and Richmond. I live in Castle Hill and it takes me 40-45 mins to get there. I find him very understanding and knowledgeable about FM.

Dr. Irwin Lim 101 Victoria Rd North Parramatta NSW 2151 (02) 9890 7633. Found lots of info. <3 Jacqui

Angela Churchill, I have seen Peter Johnson in the past. Good Dr, but I couldn't help telling him he reminded me of the characterful Dr House MD. it was funny.

I loved House, md!!!I haven't really found him to be arrogant or rude! In fact the opposite, I found him caring and asked me lots of questions and was concerned about my pain. He has never rushed me, and always remembers me. Kathy, I recommend him.

Gemma Strickland in Geelong. She comes to ballarat once a month she has been excellent with my daughter who has Mixed Connective Tissue Diease and Fibro

I see Dr Daniel Lewis, he is very focused on natural therapies rather than medication. He is very good and has picked up and diagnosed a lot of things other specialists haven't been able to.

don't see Headley Griffiths in Geelong. waste of time and money, very arrogant.

Dr Lionel Schachna in Heidelberg. Lovely and very attentive.

Anthony Boers he works part of the time at Monash medical centre. He even bulk bills!

Russell Buchanan is my fibro angel he is head of the pain clinics at the Austin outpatient hospital but you can also see him as a private patient in his Ivanhoe rooms. He is a fibro enthusiast and has The most perfect bedside manner. If he is hard to get in to see, then his partner Lionel schatner is also a fibro gun, I didn't get along with him so well but others LOVE him. Good luck.

Best guy ever is Prof Peter Ryan in Brighton . He is amazing and also a fibro gun has helped me a lot and out of picket costs is minimal like $50 or so max . Great to talk to as well . Good luck

Email Sandi Rogers at the National College of Traditional Medicine. 9 months of naturopathy later and I am basically cured (after 10 years with CFS and Fibro).

i see a Dr Tim McCarthy phone 94208000 He is a pain diagnostic specialist. Boronia. There are 3 Drs at their pain clinic. Hes fantastic I had been to 2 other "pain specialist" before I saw Tim.

There is a support group in WA. Hopefully you can find some support and info there ~ http://www.arthritiswa.org.au/services_support.php

Hi Naomi, I'm in perth too and my Specialist is Dr Mark Reed at Hollywood rheumatology. Hes great, diagnosed me about 6 months ago. I am also going to a support meeting in a week for a support group in perth. They meet all over the place. I am SOR but they meet NOR as well. I'm at witts end with the pain at the moment and i'm seeing Dr Reed on friday. Is the changing weather affecting you at the moment? Because I feel lately like I am worse than before I was diagnosed.

Hi Girls, I'm in Perth too:) Adele, I just commented on your post above! My Specialist is Mark Reed too.

Dr. Mastaglia in Fremantle is good but can take awhile to get in to see him. I see a naturopath for mine and am on a high fish oil dose. I had considered Chinese medicine but its quite expensive if it doesn't work.

Dr John salmon is a pain specialist in cottesloe, I recommend him, tho he is a touch gruff! He has a CBT team behind him too. I've had a few Chinese treatments like acupuncture and acupressure but none successful so far... Keep us updated if you find anything?

Are u getting MThFR testing as well? http://youtu.be/3KylT1Muvq8

I fly from Townsville to Brisbane to see Dr Louise McCormack at Greenslopes (Southern Rheumatology) I think she is fantastic.

I'd love to know where/ if any hydro pools are in Brisbane as well. As for the rheumy I only saw mine for the diagnosis then my GP did the rest. Another doctor that I liked is Dr Philip Watson. He is very good with understanding fibro stuff altho his field is in Musculoskeletal Medicine.

Hi Stephanie - he's not a Rheumatologist, but a GP and I found him very good. Doctor Gary Deed at the Mediwell Doctor's Surgery at Coorparoo. Good luck.
