Rheumatologists who are Physicians - Davenport, FL

"Her bedside manner is great. Very kind and friendly. As a new patient to her practice, she did a very thorough review of my medications, overall health and condition of my body, and generous testing to check status of my rheumatological issues. It was great to experience a specialist so attentive. Staff was great too"

"Please believe me when I say you want to RUN far away from this guy! What is one of the most important things you want to find in a doctor, especially one in a specialty as frustrating as this? You want a doctor who listens to the patient and will actually care for the patient. When I tried to give him my history (being a new patient and all), he completely ignored me and didn't care what my previous doctors had diagnosed or the treatment plans I was on. Instead, he belittled me and made me feel like I didn't know what I was talking about, even though I've been living with this disease for over 15 years. I cannot express how unprofessional this guy is. From the moment he walks in his entire goal is to hear himself talk about how he's right and you couldn't possibly know anything about your disease, or 'if you even have it.' He is completely sure that he knows best and that the patients need to shut up and listen. I have never ran so fast away from a doctor. He makes you feel like you are not heard and you are a burden for being in his office. As a doctor with a specialty in Rheumatology, you would think he would have a better understanding of the disease and how everyone's body handles it differently. Do yourself a favor and find someone else. It took many attempts to find someone who actually seemed to know anything about Rheumatology and once I found them, it was a breath of fresh air. Again I cannot say enough how horrible this doctor is. "

"Doctor is extremely busy & wait times are long. Seems to double book appointments - which is fine for patients that are already a situated patient but for new patients it's frustrating to be rushed & talked over. His nursing assistant is professionally passive aggressive and seems to be incompetent at the only job she's tasked with. If her work & home life stinks then it makes sense that she would be distracted, making her incompetent. Either that or some people are just born miserable & she doesn't care to do her job properly. Everyone has the opportunity to be happy but some people just choose not to be! "
