Patient Reviews
Dec 17, 2021
Okay, so...I have been trying to get help and a diagnosis for quite some time now and it' been expensive and difficult because my condition is extremely rare. Dr. Bookbinder was my 2nd Rheumatoid doctor to see in Ocala as the first one said I looked to good to be sick! GRRR. (Dr. Offenger I think?) I left there in tears ad it was a blessing I was sent on my way to find a better doctor. However, I was skeptical about Dr. Bookbinder because I read the reviews and honestly...turns out EVERYONE at this office is quite the opposite of what these negative reviews had said! The staff is actually very friendly and so kind, very personable and they put me at ease. I wouldn't even take the time to say it if it wasn't true! Dr. Bookbinder is really a smart doctor and is the most in-tune, smart doctor I have been to about my condition. My condition can take many many (up to 7 years approx. time) years to diagnose but through elimination, some testing and my symptoms he has managed to narrow it d
