Review for Dr. St Clair
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.
