Was seen by the doctor at my appointment time. The office staff was courteous and efficient. The doctor answered all my questions in a way that I could understand.

I also really appreciate my rheumatologist. She is serious and attentive, and I feel that she truly listens to my concerns. After seeing several other rheumatologists who attributed my symptoms to fibromyalgia, I finally felt that my concerns were being taken seriously. I also had concerns about osteopenia, and my current doctor was willing to look into it further rather than dismissing my concerns. I really appreciate her thoroughness and the way she listens to her patients
