EMMs Recommend Rheumatologists

by 7 Comments

A mom asked for recommendations for rheumatologists. Here’s what the moms had to say:

Rheumatology & Osteoporosis Center
Cordova

  • Dr. David Boatright in Cordova is kind and extremely smart. He is such a puzzle solver and worked diligently to find a diagnosis and treatment for an autoimmune disease I’d had for 12 years that no one else could figure out. Highly recommend him.
  • I see Dr. Boatright as well. Highly recommend him as well. I also have an auto immune problem he is helping me try to figure out. There are very few rhuematologists in Memphis, I understand.
  • Recommend Dr. Boatright as well. Took about 6 months exactly to get in. Worth it to see a good one instead of one with bad bedside manner.
  • Dr. David Boatright- I see him, too. With all these recs, the wait is bound to be longer…
  • Dr. Boatwright was just okay for me. His office was way to difficult to get an appointment with unless you could wait 4 months out. Nice man but just not convenient or available.
  • Dr. Charles Arkin. He’s thorough and personable.
  • Dr Charles Arkin is wonderful
  • Dr. Hugh Holt 309-5000
  • My husband (physician) says Dr. Boatwright is very thorough but if you can’t wait for him, try Dr. Hugh Holt.

Germantown Internal Medicine
Dr. Sudha Ganguli

  • It takes about 6-7 months to get in with him with a referral, although he is great! Dr. Ganguli in Germantown is also fabulous but has a smaller practice and you might be able to get in within a month or two. Good luck!
  • Dr. Sudha Ganguli in Germantown. She’s the best and has an awesome staff. I have lupus (SLE) and she has been a fabulous patient advocate.
  • Dr Ganguli is really personable, but be prepared to wait for EVER in her office. I stopped seeing her after my Dr’s appts lasted 2 hours plus. She is a VERY nice lady and she really seems to care about you. That is a plus.

    I am looking for s rheumatologist in the Memphis area who specializes in fibromyalgia.
    I have had osteoarthritis for 4 years & started some new symptoms a little over a year ago which seem to be those of fibromyalgia.
    Any recommendations?
    Thanks so much!!!

    Charles Arkim needs to retire. I saw him for several years after my actual doc retired. He appeared VERY homophobic, gives men pain meds (2 male friends use him for MINOR issues and walk out with oxy, I have lifelong chronic pain and was told he didn’t want to prescribe any narcotics) and on last visit before I FIRED HIM he reviewed my lab work which showed I was in an acute flare and said what can I do for you? (This was after HE was OFF WORK over 12 weeks and his office refused to allow me to see anyone else in the practice “per policy”. Uh. He was the doctor I don’t know what to do. What can he do for me? How about provide health care DUH. HES 900 years old and needs to re-think his ability to practice. He refused to consider any of the new meds coming out and was unaware of,the latest research I read about in a magazine IN HIS LOBBY.

    My husband did lots of research before choosing Dr. Arkin. He believes he is the best in the area and has been seeing him for about 6 years now. Only bad thing is the wait time can often be over an hour.

    Thanks for these recommendations. Is there anything else of EMM regarding living with an autoimmune disorder?
