WHY US
|
QUALITY
You will be seen by a rheumatologist who has completed three years of internal medicine residency, is board certified in internal medicine, then underwent two years of specialist fellowship training in rheumatology, and is board certified in rheumatology as well.This will assure you that your care is in good hands. Your rheumatologists believe in evidence-based medicine and not eminence-based medicine. So, if your doctor recommends a medication for you, it is because extensive scientific evidence shows its benefits and not just "because we said so". |
|
ACCESS
We know that when you want to see a rheumatologist, you should be able to see them within a reasonable time; if we give you an appointment for three months from today, your condition could worsen in the interim. We therefore make every effort to see all new patients within a 2 week time frame. Additionally, if your physician feels you should be seen sooner, we ALWAYS try to see you within 48 hours. If it means we have to stay back in the evening to see you, we will! |
|
WAITING TIME
Your time is just as important as ours. No one wants to wait for an hour to see their physician. We respect your time and we hope you will respect ours as well. We request that you arrive on time for your appointment. If you are a new patient, we would appreciate it if you can come 15 minutes prior to your appointment time so that you can finish all paperwork and be seen on time. Our new patient form is available online (in a secure format) to save you time and energy. |
|
TECHNOLOGY
We use a CMS compliant Electronic Medical Record system- this allows us to be a "paperless" office- allowing us to store all documents electronically and securely. Using our Patient Portal, you will be able to access your records from the comfort of your home and electronically communicate with your physician. Since our chart notes are completed on the day of service, your referring physician will get a report from our office within 48 hours of your visit, - so that they are kept up to date on your health status. |
