Patient Reviews
Aug 17, 2022
I have been a patient of Dr. Alan Kivitz for 18 years. Agressive Rheumatoid Arthritis. My mother died in 1970 of the disease within 6 years of diagnosis. He was brilliant and compassionate in his diagnosis and care. Dr. Kivitz also has research facilities and is thoroughly up to date on immune diseases and the new drugs to treat those diseases. I have been in a few studys and benefited greatly. He has followed my care closely and I am forever in his debt for keeping me active and alive.
