Looking for doctor in Mpls

Well, that's where I live.. I'm in Andover just north of Minneapolis.

The doctor I'm seeing now is Dr. Dole at http://www.dakotamc.com/.

He may not be covered by your insurance, so you'd have to check. I found that my insurance (Medica) did cover my visit - however I have a deductible so I still had to pay it all out of pocket.

I've only had 2 visits, but he's done the most out of all the doctors I've seen yet. You can read the last few posts of my "Always tired too" thread to see what he's done if you like.

Hi back neighbor. No, Dole is not specifically a rheumatologist, he just specializes in chronic fatigue illnesses per se, typically where other doctors have given up - or the patient isn't finding the care they need. I'm not sure if that fits your bill, although you can call to ask them specifically.

I did go to a rheumatology specialist center before that was in Edina on France avenue just north of 494. They are supposedly pretty good, so if you're looking for a rheumatologist specifically, they may be what you're looking for. However, I should note, they looked me over and because I didn't have painful joints - they pretty much said I didn't have any rheumatic issues and they didn't really want me around any longer.

I think that's the problem with all the symptoms - getting a straight up diagnosis. If you go through all the regular doctors and can't get a diagnosis, you could try Dole. He is a physician with a degree from Wake Forrest.

Good luck.. let me know if you need any additional information.
