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.

Been seeing him for 10+ years for RA. He is very efficient during appointments and thorough. He doesn’t get personal or waste time talking about things unrelated to why you are there. He is very knowledgeable and I trust his medical advice 100%. He has always supported my having a good quality of life and treats me with respect. I find my appointments to be low stress and refreshing.

Thorough, helpful, prompt, personable, no-nonsense. Quick appointments when merited but will also take the time to explain any aspect of my condition or medication plan in detail if necessary or if I'm just curious and want to pick his brain. Him and his staff are both easy to reach and always there to help me out.

Dr Arnason does not have the best bedside manner, but I have been told he knows his stuff medically. His appointments are very brief and he does not do as thorough of an exam as other rheumatologists have done in the past. His staff persons do respond promptly to requests.

Dr. seem like he wanted to help me at first visit. Second visit he walked into the room handed me papers and said this is what you have, told me he couldn't help and to contact his P.A. if I needed anything. Basically I wasn't worth his time. He never went over my test results, told me I should be more active and lose weight, I told him I would love to lose weight, but how do you do that when you have so much pain, and your mobility go's down hill, Then says it again. Will not go back to him
