Dr. Debra Michel, MD

She shrugged off my pain and seemed to have a predetermined diagnosis. I have got a second opinion and so grateful I did.

Very similar to last persons review. Waited 6 weeks to get an appointment with Dr. Howard as new patient. Wasn't told by office in Scottsdale that Dr Michel was relaxing Dr. Howard. She did no interview. Asked why I was there and left the room in about 3 minutes. She had the PA take me to the lab for a blood test. That's it. An hour an 1/2 in the office for this! Very unsatisfactory.

Debra Michel was my first Rhuematologist I started seeing her in 1997, with our her knowledge and treatment I believe I would not be as healthy as I am now. Thankxox Dr Michel. Carrie Davis

Dr. Michel has done an excellent job teaching me about RA and navigating a frustrating course to finally finding effective treatment. She is experienced, accurate and up-to-date. She takes a direct, no non-sense approach to disease management. I know, after 7 years as her patient, when I get into trouble, she responds quickly and effectively. She is my rheumatologist though, not my psychologist. That works well between us.

She worked very hard to deal with my RA. She is an excellent Dr. I would highly recommend her to any one who has an RA problem. I have been her patient for a number of years now & hope she stays here for a long time to come

I have RA, Sjogrens, hashimotos thyroiditis and fibromyalgia. First appointment she did no exam or indepth interview. Asked me why I was there after I had waited 3 months for appointment. Handed me a paper to read on a drug, left the room, came back, told me take the drug and come back in 30 days. Severe reaction to drug, called, nurse said stop taking it. Waited 3 more weeks,still severe symptoms and when I go in i get, if you can't take the drug I can't help you. Not knowledgeable apparently.
