I had an excellent experience with my rheumatologist, Adey Berhanu. To be honest, she is by far one of the best rheumatologist doctors I’ve seen regarding my health. She was incredibly detailed, patient, and clearly very knowledgeable. I truly appreciated how she took the time to listen to everything I had to say without rushing me, and she answered all of my questions thoroughly.
I left the appointment feeling heard, understood, and confident in my care plan. It’s not always easy to find a doctor who combines expertise with genuine attentiveness, but she does exactly that. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable rheumatologist.
