Dr Sklar is one of the best doctors I’m ever met. Her attention to detail is top notch. Would highly recommend her to everyone.

Review for Dr. Sklar

She is very knowledgeable and informative. Easy to speak with and she took her time by giving me her full attention. I didn’t feel rushed and she was patient with me in all the questions I had.

Review for Lauren Sylwester

I am so grateful I found Dr. Neal-Kraal. She help get my lupus under control and to sustain a healthy life. She listens with empathy and spends time with me helping me to understand a disease that isn't easy to understand. There are few rheumatologists around as it is, but I am glad I found her.

Review for Dr. Neal-Kraal

"Despite being a traditional-style medical chair, the chair I sat on was very clean. After discussing my gum lesions with Dr. Chi, I concluded that this chair must have been used by thousands of patients. I am confident that I will be content, just like every other patient who has ever sat in this...

Review for Dr. Chi

Dr. Patel and so friendly and welcoming. She always seems so attentive to what I’m saying and I always feel welcomed and not rushed to tell her issues that come up or ask questions. She explained everything she was doing before she did it to make sure I was comfortable. She truly seems to care!
