She couldn't have been better. Really helpful with progressive health issues. Her recommendations are helping
even though I have only implemented one. Have 2 referrals to schedule but I am excited about the help. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and took plenty of time with me. Couldn't rate her more highly.

I'm a combat veteran with PTSD. Medical environments are my primary trigger, which means I walk into most appointments already managing a physiological response before anyone's even called my name. I say that not for sympathy, but because it's the baseline against which I'm measuring what happened at this practice.
I arrived early for my first appointment. They took me back 15 minutes before my scheduled time, completed my vitals, and started my medical history before the clock even started. That's not how medical offices operate, but this one does.
Every person I encountered, from the receptionist to the medical assistant who walked me back and took my vitals, to the X-ray technologist, to Dr. Maher herself, was genuinely warm, calm, and respectful. Not scripted. Actually calm. That kind of consistency across an entire staff has to come from the top.
Dr. Maher wasn't rushed, and it showed. She ordered a comprehensive imaging workup across hands, feet, knees, hips, and lower back, along with a full diagnostic lab panel, and she walked me through every X-ray image personally, explaining what we were actually looking at rather than just telling me everything was fine. She matched my vocabulary, never dumbed things down, and clearly knows her field.
When I went to radiology, she asked if I was okay in a dark room, because she understood why that question mattered. She also offered a lab slip so I could leave after imaging rather than wait, understanding without being asked that waiting isn't a neutral experience for everyone.
I left that appointment having been heard, seen, and treated with genuine dignity. I've never been able to say that about a medical appointment before.

Dr. El-Bogdadi is an excellent Rheumatologist. He listens, discusses options, and follows up right away. He is very kind and compassionate and is genuinely dedicated to providing quality care.
May 29, 2026
Jenny is awesome! She is very caring, willing to take her time, and sees me as a person not just as a patient. In my experience, it is that kind of perspective that results in the best possible medical care as issues are uncovered and addressed that would not come up with someone with a more narrow approach.

Dr. Ziglar is always right on the mark when reviewing my concerns and problems.
