Finding a knowledgeable doctor for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) can be challenging, but it's crucial for effective treatment. Here are some tips to help you locate a suitable physician:

1. Research and Reviews:
- Look for doctors who specialize in dermatology and have experience with HS.
- Check online reviews and patient testimonials.

2. Telehealth Options:
- Consider telehealth visits, which can provide access to specialists outside your immediate area. Ensure your insurer covers these visits.

3. Preparation for Visits:
- Write down all your concerns and questions before your appointment.
- Discuss how HS impacts you mentally and emotionally, not just physically.

4. Support Groups:
- Join online communities like myHSteam to get recommendations from others with HS.

5. Persistence:
- It may take multiple visits to find the right doctor, but persistence is key.

Remember, a good HS doctor will be empathetic, knowledgeable about the latest research and treatments, and willing to work with you on a long-term management plan.
