Patient Reviews
Oct 20, 2020
I have been seeing Mike Rickels, MD since 2000 for my 57 years of teenage-onset Type 1 Diabetes. Because I know what I'm doing in having managed it well for so long, he has always treated me with the utmost respect (remarkable among some physicians). In that T1D is a multi-system condition (endocrinology), I have found him good at seeing me as a whole person rather than "as a medical condition". One huge benefit of this is that he is NEVER remonstrative or frustrated or rigid, because he somehow is aware of how hard it is to self-manage such a sensitively dangerous genetic – and so far, incurable – disease. This results in patients who feel good about themselves, about their disease state, and his flexibility in supporting our approach to our own way of living with diabetes.
