This was my first visit with Dr. Berhanu, and I am sold!! I was truly impressed that she came with a knowledge of my medical history. We were then able to discuss the issues. Gave me an understanding of the background of my symptoms, with suggestions of what I could do to maintain a healthy lifestyle. On the whole this was a very fruitful visit.

I recently had my first visit with Dr. Berhanu and I wanted to share my positive experience. She is kind and has a very positive personality. She took the time to listen patiently to my concerns and addressed them with clear, knowledgeable reasoning. Her good bedside manner made me feel both comfortable and confident in her care.

Office staff was great, and Dr. Worthing was excellent. He explained everything in great deal, made sure I knew my options, the choice of which option to choose was totally up to me, and after I had chosen, he said it was the best choice. The staff from the infusion room was also very kind and very helpful.

Dr. Berhanu is a truly exceptional rheumatologist. She always gives you the time you need during appointments and listens closely to what you’re saying. I never leave a visit feeling like I didn’t get what I needed — she takes my symptoms seriously and helps me really understand my diagnosis. I feel comfortable and heard every time I see her.
