Best Pediatric Rheumatologist Ann Arbor Near Me

Bess Byrum: I already know this is a really bad team of doctors etc... I have been trying to see them for over a year now and they cancel on me twice and say we have nothing open until 4 months later.Luckily I found another Rheumatologist and they will see me in 3 weeks.

Deidree Mathis: Have gone to this Rheumatology Clinic for 30 years and they have kept me healthy and mobile.

val moore: Dr Moore is my rheumatologist and I do not like her team the Dr in charge of her is a b. They never gave me pain meds ever. They only I’m sure give it to a certain race. There’s a lot of things these people took me through and I’m feed up. I been having tons of pain no one check on me. Gave me and meds my iron low no one cares. From day one they have shoved all kinds of lupus meds down my throat now I can get off. I’m still in soooo much pain after all my meds. Nothing works. When I went to regular dr they gave me a some amount of pain meds which help me at least get out of bed. I can’t take Motrin and nothing works I’m in so much pain I crawl to toilet and cry I tell them this but they don’t care. They controlled my body told me when I can have a baby and I can’t they control everything on my body. I’m so unhappy. The pain is so much I cry every day and night. I think if I was a different color they might help me more. . I was depressed because of this because they won’t help me. I got on all this meds nothing works I told her I’ll get on for her because I really liked her. Her team is rude and they just don’t like me I need a dr to help me in suggestions I need to go back to work help me

lynn wolf: I have been seeing Dr. McCune for almost 30 years; he diagnosed my lupus. I trust him with all aspects of my health. He has always treated me as if I were his only patient. He has worked with my other doctors to assist with other medical concerns. I have never had a bad experience at the clinic.

April Marie Tucker: I went to U of M Rheumatology & after 6 months of my ex Dr Amber Young promising she'd write me a prescription for medicine. She also never wrote any after visit notes would say she'd refer me to other specialists tests etc then forget. My condition continued to decline so I decided to contact u of m to let them know. I asked to switch Rheumatologists. They wouldn't let me & this Rheumatologist retaliated on me. She wrote the longest after visit summary I'd seen in my life filled with lies. Things that shouldn't even be in an after visit summary like I have switched Rheumatologists many times & primary care drs making it look like I'm Dr shopping. When I had just moved from Michigan & my Rheumatologist in Michigan referred me to U of M she new that. My Rheumatologist before that was also my primary care Dr & I changed insurance so I had to change primary care drs.She put that I don't have raynauds when I gave her my Vascular disease records that had all my tests. She even had in there how my feet turn purple at times & red hello that's Raynauds. I highly recommend going to Beaumont or somewhere else because U of M doesn't care how their drs treat their patients when I let them know she did this they didn't care.

Jett Vanschoten: the docters and nurses are so nice

Saba Niaz: Dr Nada Abdul Aziz is my mom's rheumatologist for over 3 years and has to be one of the best doctors I've experienced so far. From her diagnosis to the treatment, follow up and excellent staff, I have really no words to describe how seamless the whole process has been always! I actually wanted to leave her a review myself because she earned it.

gary paelicke: Despite a referral and very painful osteoarthritis in both thumbs, they won’t see me. I was told they’re too busy, everyone wants to see U of M. So I have to go outside the system to IHA.

Andrea: I started having health issues around 2012. In 2014 I was in and out of doctors offices trying to figure out what was wrong with my body. I was referred to U of M. After many blood test, ultrasounds MRI's, and CT scans I was diagnosed with Undifferentiated Autoimmune Disease and Fibromyalgia. I was put on plaquenil and flexerol. When my symptoms were not relieved and my health continued to get worse. I was turned away by the head of the rheumatology department who decided that despite my test I had "no rheumatological reason to be there and kicked me out of the rheumatology clinic. A few month later I had a flare and was diagnosed with SLE and RA. I do not have fibromyalgia and the time it took to be properly diagnosed was paid for in my bodies tissue damage. Last night I had no choice but to go to U of M ER. Where I learned my liver enzyme count that was already moderately high had gone even higher, my pancreas is inflamed and my urinary tract is also inflamed and to be clear that is only what they tested. No microorganisms were found to be at cause for anything no abnormal growth, ect. I was sent home and told to continue antibiotics for a UTI that I do not have. I had to argue with the attending physician that this all could be part of a lupus flare. Who decided that because she does not understand lupus or me as a patient to send me on my way. Now I am sitting at home untreated and my lupus out of control. My chemo and steroids not working. So while my organ gain new scar tissue and new irreversible damage that doctor still gets a paycheck for not doing her job. The rheumatologist that originally kicked me out of the clinic caused me even more time and irreversible damage due to his incompetence. Shame on you University of Michigan your nothing more then a money greedy business taking advantage of those in need.

MoneyMonet: Terrible place terrible service and rheumatology doctors not worth driving 2hrs for .. I've given them chance after chance over a 3yr period nothing but problems, constantly switched from doctor to doctor, incorrect information, not wanting to fill out FMLA papers etc.. If you care anything about your health or care please go someplace else! Dr K. Chakrabarti will no longer be seeing me!

Christy Campbell: This is the worst set of doctors. I have had my appointments cancelled now twice a week out that I have had for three months due to the doctor will not be in at that time? The next available appointment is another three months out. I will not go back.

Kristen Stokely: It did take six months to get a new patient appointment, but really, this is a top ranked university program. One has to expect this, as so many people are becoming ill with autoimmune disorders much more nowadays, and all of us want to get the best care possible. Obviously, they're inundated with more and more people looking for a great doctor. So, if you're not willing to wait, I'd look for a rheumatologist elsewhere.The UofM rheumatology department is located in the Taubman building. Every person who I encountered was very friendly and helpful. They have both regular wheelchairs and motorized ones available, without any fees. Once, I arrived late for my appointment. The gentleman who was outside of the information desk was right there to help. He arranged for a motorized w/c within a couple of minutes so I could make it to my appointment. *the motorized wheelchairs are on a first come/first serve basis. It made a huge difference when I was on my own.The doctor I saw was Dr Abdulaziz. She was very thorough with her assessment and physical exam (that did not happen with a rheumatologist in my area). Once she was confident that she had all of the information needed, she ordered labs and some tests.From my lab results, my original doctor had found a certain disorder. With the specialized lab testing through UofM, somehow all of my results came back negative. My x-rays also looked fine. On one hand, I was glad nothing showed up. But I was also concerned because I was always in severe pain. I still had a specialized ultrasound of my hands ordered. It showed Dr Abdulaziz that I indeed needed treatment. My ultrasound was on a Thursday afternoon, and I received a call from Dr Abdulaziz Friday morning (and she was in Chicago). That day she ordered medications. It has only been 2 weeks, so I haven't begun to get the full benefits from the meds yet. I do though, feel confident that we will do whatever necessary to stop this from taking my body away from me.I'm very satisfied with my experience. I don't think I would be diagnosed correctly and getting the right treatment if I hadn't gone there (especially since I already was not).* I've also heard that getting an appointment anywhere within the UofM Medical Center takes a long while. As an established patient, my daughter has a 2 month wait just to see her PCP.

Kaitlyn Maxwell: Although the beginning is rough, "Hail to the valors victorious!" I got a severe onset of arthritis at 16. It took me 7 months to get as a patient, even though we were originally told it'd take a year before being accepted as a patient. Dr. Haftel saw me on her lunch hour, barely squeezing me in. She was surprised by how blatantly obvious my case was, apologized for not squeezing me in sooner, and started me on medications immediately. Since then, I've gone from becoming handicapped at 16 to getting my life back around 19. It obviously took a few years for the medications (and physical therapy) to really do their work, but I couldn't be any more grateful for her professionalism and hard work. Miracles really do happen, and sometimes doctors like Haftel have some part in them. :-) If you need a pediatric rheumatologist for your child, this is a good place to go. (Four stars instead of five for poor wait times to get another regular checkup appointment. They are usually booked out by 6 months, but Dr. Haftel will go upfront and show her office staff where to squeeze you in earlier if your case is severe enough to be seen sooner than the schedule normally allows.)

Cinda Gardner: I have always found the staff and doctors very helpful and caring. Love them!

Heather Deann: My husband waited 7 months to get in. UofM was a second opinion for us. My husband had already been diagnosed with RA but this UofM dr states because he does not meet all the RA markers he does not have RA. I felt she was very black and white and could not see outside the lines. We will stick with our orginal dr.

Michael Michael Knight Corvin: This place gets one star because you cant post until you select a star.So the brillliant receptionist there made us fax things twice today just to get an appointment for my 10 year old daughter. Then this evening tells us that my child cannot be seen because she is 10 year's old and they only see 12 and up. If this is the case then Dr.Stannard should not be a pediatric doctor she should change her title.It is ridculous in the initial call this morning she should have said they are not pediatrics and do not see children after all english is not a difficult language and pediatrics mean they see children.

Clayton chapman (SaishuuKessen): Imagine waiting months to get in, and then when you finally get a appointment, its MAYBE ... maybe 10 mins. And you are cut off numerous times while trying to talk. Pathetic. Definitely the feeling of a doctor who couldn't care less and already made up her mind before she saw you and just became a doctor to make money. Ridiculous, and a complete waste of time.

Clare Burkett: I have been a patient of Dr. Stannard’s since my move to Michigan from New York, in 2017. I truly cannot express my gratitude for her excellence in caring for my illness. In 2005 I was diagnosed with a rare systemic disease. I’ve been seen by several rheumatologists, and she is as skilled and knowledgeable in treating me, as any in her profession. She is conscientious, thoughtful, caring, and articulate. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to know how to care for my diagnosis. She is a fantastic doctor, and a wonderful person to know.
