Aurora Health Care Outpatnt Sgy

Very professional, concerned, conservative.  Discovered other problems he felt should be addressed  and made contact with a referring physician and set up an appointment. He was concerned in addressing findings on imaging but felt another speciality was in order to address the presenting symptoms.  Felt very confident in his assessment of the immediate situation.

He was very supportive of my medical problem and is making sure that I don’t do more work than what I am supposed to be doing so that I don’t hurt my back. He is taking good care of me. He always comes in late for his appointments because he is always in surgery but this is not the worst thing in the world either. A little bit of waiting is not going to kill me.

He used to be good but now it is down. He was best of the worst.

I've only seen him a couple of times because my previous rheumatologist got out of the practice and my rheumatologist before that I saw for 26 years. I am comfortable with him. He is very professional and real friendly. His bedside manner jumps right out. I am supposed to see him every six months. He is more of an advisor because I have end stage arthritis so there isn't a lot of care involved. He has referred me to people who have done good by me. He is readily available. He exceeded my expectations when I first met me. I was very pleasantly surprised to meet a new doctor who was as genuinely cool as he was. He has a good bedside manner. When he is busy, I might sit for 5 or 10 minutes. He is excellent at communicating. The treatment has been above and beyond what I expected.  I am proactive because I am a professional patient and he is proactive. He got me going on some other things that I hadn’t even considered. He increased my pain medication without me having to ask which is extremely rare although I’ve had it for 54 years so they know that I am not just looking for drugs.
