Terrible experience. I went to this doctor for treatment of Ankylosing Spondylitis (diagnosed in 2017 by three rheumatologists and confirmed by my PCP). Despite my history and genetic markers, he dismissed the diagnosis based on a single blood test—likely skewed by my current meds—and said his mentor would "laugh" if he treated me. He ordered an MRI but lost the results, wasted my time and co-pay, and told me to come back weeks later. When I brought up joint concerns as a guitarist, he told me to avoid using my fingers—completely dismissive and unhelpful. Thankfully, my PCP reviewed the MRI and confirmed the AS diagnosis. This doctor was rude, arrogant, and unprofessional. Avoid if you value competent care.

Very dismissive. Any issue I brought up required another Dr. he said it’s “probably fibromyalgia” and to find a psychiatrist that does CBT. I asked if there was anything he could help with and he had his assistant hand me a tiny shred of paper with a website on it about how to manage fibromyalgia and scheduled a follow up for 3 months out. There’s literally nothing to follow up on because he did nothing. Walked out of his office crying. I have been dealing with pain and other symptoms for 8 years and finally saw a rheumatologist hoping for some answers. I got none.

Wasted 3 visits for him to tell me there’s nothing to do and call him if I need.
