Dr Flanders preserved in solving my problem with patience and professionalism. He helped me understand the problem and treatment, and he made himself avalable when I needed him.

Review for Dr. Flanders

She does not appear empathic or compassionate physician. She took over when my original rheumatologist left the practice. She lacks experienced. and placed me on a medication that made me sick despite knowing a previous diagnosis. There has been no follow up after labs or recommendations after...

Review for Dr. Thomas

Review for Dr. Golocovsky

I was referred to an endocrinologist for weight gain. Doctor on the first appointment seemed ok but has since been awful. Office is so hard to get in contact with. Exhausted from having to advocate for myself for basic testing. Doesn’t seem interested in helping.
