Patient Reviews
Aug 04, 2020
For all those who left negative reviews, I have rheumatoid arthritis, a condition for which there is no cure and only one semi effective treatment. That being Prednisone, which is a corticosteroid. It helps the symptoms, but it also causes serious damage to your body, especially when taken over a long period of time. I know this because both my parents also had rheumatoid arthritis. Other than diagnose it, and offer Prednisone as a treatment, there is very little a doctor can do for this condition. I also suffer from gout. Dr. Fairfax prescribed a drug called Febuxostat, which helped a lot. I chose not to take Prednisone. Rheumatoid arthritis is a terrible condition, with no safe effective treatment, and it is not fair to blame a doctor for that. IMO, Dr. Fairfax did everything he could for me. It is a no win situation. Also remember that specialists, including rheumatologists, are often booked up weeks and sometimes months in advance. I was very happy with Dr. Fairfax.
