Patient Reviews
Sep 08, 2019
Was a patient of Dr. S for sometime in the 1990s for complex lifelong RA & related autoimmune diseases. I dislike doctors in general but Dr. S was decent & compassionate, knowledgeable & humble. He never professed to have all the answers. Only reason I quit seeing him was because my immune system was shot & there wasn't much he could do to treat my RA conventionally. He had a dry sense of humor & I enjoyed his attire (ie., bow ties). Dr. S was outstanding at giving cortisone shots--a real gift. Not all MDs know how to do that well. I've since sought alternative medicine but if I were looking for an allopathic rheumatologist, Dr. S would be my #1 choice. I've been to others and was intensely disappointed with their know-it-all attitude & lack of empathy. Dr. S was open to discussion & reasonable, unlike others. I highly recommend Dr. Schlesinger.
