Patient Reviews
Jan 15, 2024
After seeing many rheumatologists, he’s been the only one that has been straight forward, no run around. He tells it like it is, although his delivery may not be the best. However, he was on point and was able to turnaround my daughter’s illness andNow she’s in remission. The office wait it’s bad, but you just have to be ready for it.
