You deserve a healthcare team that sees you, believes you, and knows what to do next.
With practical tips from board certified patient advocate Kristina Kelly and clinical insight from Dr. Sarah Schafer of Sjogren's Advocate, this training teaches you how to find the right doctors (because so many of us have been brushed off and tossed aside).
This video class breaks down, in clear and practical terms, who should be managing your care, what each clinician is responsible for, and how to recognize when someone is out of their depth.
You’ll learn how to spot red flags early, how to avoid losing months or years with the wrong provider, and how to build a team that can help you get diagnosed, treated, and supported through your Sjogren’s journey.
Inside this module, we explore:
• How to spot a medical provider that actually understand Sjogren’s
• What rheumatologists, ophthalmologists, dentists, ENTs, neurologists, and other specialists bring to the table
• How to identify uninformed providers
• How to know when it’s time to switch doctors
• How to protect yourself from misdiagnosis, minimization, or delays in care
Resource included:
• Rheumatologist Vetting Sheet
A powerful tool that helps you quickly assess whether a rheumatologist is truly Sjogren’s-literate and worth your time.
• Your doctors keep saying your symptoms are stress, hormones, or aging
• You’ve been dismissed, minimized, or told “your labs are normal”
• You don’t know who should diagnose or manage Sjogren’s
• You feel lost trying to figure out which specialists you need
• You want a clear way to vet providers before investing time and emotional energy
• You’re tired of relying on luck to find the right doctor
