Adey Berhanu, MD
As usual, my most recent appointment with Dr. Berhanu did not disappoint me. She was welcoming as she asked about changes since my last visit. I was particularly concerned about a new condition that I thought was not related to her specialization. She listened carefully, and asked probing questions before examining me. Afterward she clearly explained her diagnosis based on my symptoms, her observations, and her medical knowledge. Several physicians from the specialty most associated with that condition had not been able to fit the pieces of the puzzle together. Her insight as a rheumatologist helped me to see that she definitely needed to be part of my solution.
Dr. Berhanu is an excellent physician.

Dr. Bethany was great. She took time to understand my particular issue and explain the physiology of this condition, which was spot on consistent with my research and then some. She quickly developed and implemented a treatment plan, which provided pain-relief immediately.

Dr. Peng has been wonderful treating my rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. He evaluates what medicines I’m taking and works to eliminate those that are unnecessary anymore. I appreciate it because I don’t want to take too many medicines as an old lady. He is a very good doctor.

My experience with Dr Phillpotts was GREAT!
He was caring kind personable which truly made me very comfortable with my appointment.
I was transferring my care to the office. Brought all of my outside records from the prior rheumatologist.
Dr Phillpotts went over everything with me explaining things that the prior clinician did not do fully.
He did his own new work up and proceeded with other new tests that were missed.
How can I not be completely satisfied with his thorough care.
He’s an amazing physician who truly cares about his patients.
I’m absolutely BLESSED to have found such a wonderful physician.
Thanks Dr Phillpotts
