PA seemed very knowledgeable about my issue

Review for Dr. St Clair

Dr. Smith is a good read of people. Knew my limitations and kept me informed through the whole process.

Review for Dr. Smith

She was in the room for 2 minutes, basically said nothing was wrong with me and that was it. Waste of my time. I found another rheumatologist who actually cares and did more testing so I can hopefully finally have a diagnosis after years of waiting!!

Review for Dr. Abugharbyeh

Dr St. Clair does a superb job of explaining things and taking time to answer all of your questions. A very confident Dr but not high pressure at all.

Review for Dr. St Clair

Before my surgery, I had trouble walking and life activities. Now, I have no pain and I am able to all of my daily activities. Dr. Dajczak did a wonderful job. The whole process was a great experience. I am thankful because I have always been active.
