My current and only Rheumatologist I have seen is Dr. Neelakshi Patel in Stanford Campbell California
https://stanfordhealthcare.org/doctors/p/neelakshi-patel.html

She has been very helpful and discusses all medicines and their cons with me. And supportive of me wanting to switch medicines. I have changed Humira to Cosentyx, back to Humira and now on Inflectra. Not sure if it matters, but reading some other posts seem like, not all Rheumatologists are open to trying different biologics.
She was also supportive of me undergoing spinal reconstruction to correct the kyphosis.
In case anyone needs, I also saw Dr. Sigurd Berven from UCSF for my kyphosis and spinal surgery. He gave me another life, with the surgery.
