Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

RUN, RUN away from this Doctor!!
DO NOT go here if you value your time. I waited 10 WEEKS to have an appointment scheduled just to be told that I shouldn't be seen. I have two sophisticated specialists that sent a referral saying that I need to visit this office. Apparently that is not sufficient. They hung up on me TWICE as I was completely flabbergasted why I could not be seen. They would not even share the notes from this Doctor who made the decision.If Doctors are referring patients, don't wait 10 WEEKS to second guess their referral! They went to school longer than you did and this is not patient care. What on earth is going on with this clinic?!

The Best
I have had lupus for over 25 years Dr. Antolini has been my doctor for over five years. I have had hundreds of doctors appointments with dozens of doctors , but Dr. Antolini is the best. He cares about his patients overall wellbeing, not just their diseases. He’s very knowledgeable and kind. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Antolini is the most incompetent, arrogant slob of a doctor that I have ever met. The office will not let you switch to one of the other doctors so I left after 3 years of banging my head against the wall. The entire staff at DAC seems to feel a sense of entitlement. My new practice can’t even believe the policies I had to deal with, as they aren’t ethical, and clearly not in the best interest of their patients. Rude, smug, dismissive...I can’t think of a worse office of any specialty I have seen. However, if you would like narcotics thrown at you, and that is the type of treatment you want, at the expense of true knowledge and even a name for your condition, you will fit in just fine. How they aren’t in trouble for excessive narcotic use without a diagnosis, I will never know. Absolute morons! Management needs to wake up. FIND ANYWHERE ELSE TO GO.

I received my semi annual shots & visited with Dr Antolini. And as usual he treated me promptly, my shots went smoothly thanks to Casey his assistant, and he followed up with RX refills and any future visits needed. I would give Dr Antolini & his assistant Casey 10 stars if I could!

If you want a doctor to be a partner in your disease treatment, who has compassion, and who will spend time with you to try to help you, Dr. Antolini is NOT that person. I have been a patient of Dr. Antolini's for almost 4 years. I have been part of a drug study and have continued to experience increased joint deterioration during this time. He has been uninterested in trying to find another solution that might help my situation. I made the decision to leave his practice after finding out I need another joint replacement. During a recent appointment I told his nurse that I didn't feel I was getting the care I needed and was feeling very dejected and helpless. Dr. Antolini refused to meet with me that day and address my concerns and then shuffled me off to another doctor without ever speaking to me face to face. I have never been treated so disrespectfully and with such a lack of dignity by a doctor in my life. I wish I had been a better advocate for myself and left sooner.

Dr. Antolini, and Casey, have always put my comfort first, today I went in not knowing if I had an infection in my knee. I was nervous about the injection, (had a bad expierence elsewhere) but he was so adept at the injection, it was painless. He has a gentle touch. Thank you !

Dr. Antolini is by far the best rheumatologist I have seen. Not only does he listen to me, but he responds to my questions thoroughly. Moreover, when I have an issue, he is quick to get me in to see him. Through the office's email system, I am able to get refills quickly. I have seen Dr antolini for years and cannoit imagine seeing another rheumatologist.

Denver, Co – Jan 01, 2018

Dr. Antolini was the only doctor who ever made me cry. Between him and his nurse, I never felt like he or his clinic took my issues seriously, and eventually I ended up in the hospital and ICU for three weeks. Despite several calls from myself and the hospital for requests for assistance managing my biologic, neither he nor his office ever responded or called. I switched providers shortly after and will never go back.

When my Dr passed away I was passed to Dr Antolini and I must say he is by far the worst Dr I have ever had to work with do not see him for any reason. I had a good plan with my other Dr that worked for years. No problems. Dr Antolini does not listen
