- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/15/2025
Dr Co is very easy to talk to and she answers all of my questions in plain English, without using medical terms that I don't understand. She goes the extra mile with my visits and is very thorough. She always has new things to try to relieve my symptoms that she is well informed of. Things I never knew about. She asks me a lot of questions about my overall health and symptoms that are sometimes hard to deal with. She always checks my joints and skin to help her understand what I am experiencing. I trust her completely with my care. She is very dedicated to her job and my health. I have only good things to say about her and her wonderful staff.

The doctor did not seem to listen to anything the patient was trying to tell her at all. She basically made her feel dumb for even coming. She did not give good clarification on anything and was rude. She just seemed to want to tell the patient she was wrong and push different drugs.

I did not have a very good first impression of this doctor. I thought she made me feel like I was wasting her time. My PCP sent me here and she made me feel like it was my fault that they did not do some of the tests. I felt like she talked down to me and made me feel stupid. Most likely I will not go Back to see her again. I was not impressed. And she did not listen to my concerns she was too busy dictating into her computer

Dr Co is a very caring, professional rheumatologist. I've been to several and Dr Co is hands down the best. She listens to all of your concerns and discusses remedies. I've never had to wait in her office and any phone calls that are made to the office are always returned. I really appreciate her knowledge and down to earth care.
