Dr. Jian Ma, MD

Dr.Jian Ma is a very brilliant man we are blessed to have him at Bay Pines VA. Read one of his papers >>.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25539434 Pilot open observations on doxycycline treatment for erosive osteoarthritis of the hand. None better than Board Certified Dr J. Ma. Aim High

After 27 yrs. of being treated at VAMC Togus, ME., I moved to Florida. I was assigned to Dr. Ma as my Rheumatologist for continued treatment of RA. My condition has worsened under his care. It is extremely difficult to reach him upon flair ups. Sometimes it takes as many as 3 messages in 3 days to have him return a call. Makes it extremely difficult to receive continued treatment started at Togus. At this point I am dumping him as my Rheumatologist in favor of Veterans Choice by civilian Dr's.

Once he asked how have you been I said I've been better he said better,that's good. So, now I just say I'm hurting. In his field no one is better. When he sees things outside of his field that need attention he still does all he can to fix the problem he's a very busy man but won't shoot you out the door to stay on schedule he'll stick with you until he's done all he can. Just wish he'd work on his English. He very nice very helpful knowledgeable in both eastern & western medicine
