TMA’s Find a Doctor tool, offered through a partnership with MediFind, is a great place to start your search for a physician with experience in treating the different types of myositis.
To get started, enter your condition and the city/town where you live. You can adjust the radius to give you a larger list of providers to choose from.
Look for the doctor’s expertise tier: elite (the most expert), distinguished, advanced, and experienced (the least expert). Be aware that because myositis is a rare disease, you won’t find an elite expert in every city or town. In many places, you may only find a doctor who is “experienced.”

TMA’s most elite experts are also designated as “Recognized by TMA.”

John, do you have myositis? What form? And where do you live?
We need recommendations for speech therapy and pulmonologist. The speech therapist is very unfamiliar with this Dermamyositis. Is there anywhere we can find those recommendations on this site or is it just Rheumatology?
Hello Jade, we are looking into whether our Find a Doctor tool can help identify other healthcare providers besides doctors. Meanwhile, you should be able to find providers of other specialties, including neurologists, pulmonologists, dermatologists, etc. You may need to change the condition under which you are looking. For example, if you want a pulmonologist, try looking under interstitial lung disease.
