Don't know Dr. Gina Rohekar - but stay away from Dr. Andrew Thompson (at University hospital) - he diagnoses everyone with MS (even though you have been told by neurologist at time you don't have MS) - He doesn't like when anyone qustions him.

I Just saw Dr Sherry Rohekar today at Same Place. She was really nice. From researching best Rhumy place in Ontario St Josephs came up, so i am feeling fotunate to live in SW ontario even if it is a 1 hr dr. Parking was expensive 7 $ for 2 hrs but if you are in London already you could just take transit. Take the Cheapside entrance not the Grosvenor entrance - they arent kidding its a lot of walking. But I did not have to wait in waiting room at all. They have they're own Blood lab tech right there, and get you into X ray right away. I was so glad with the service... Mind you i think i was wishing it was a different diagnosis.
hope that helps.

I found the best Rheumy at Toronto Western hospital her name is Dr. D. Gladman. I was diagnosed with Sacroiliitis. The last appointment her assistant said it looking more like AS again. This was what I originally was diagnosed with. My xray - shows fusion - but Dr. D. (MD/NP) didn't want to stick his neck out to far, this morning. He did say it looks like fusion on both sides of my SI joint, but he left it up to my Rheumy to confirm. I am HLA B27+.

If your SI joints are fused, that leaves AS as the DX. Thats good news(if AS is good news) and you should get a treatment plan. At least you should have a firm Dx.
