My visit with Dr. Diamond was a very positive experience. She addressed my issues succinctly and outlined what should be done to help resolve my issues.

Dr Phillpotts is kind and pays attention to detail. He allows the patient to be part of the decision-making process which I appreciate. He is not overly agressive with management and strikes a very good balance. I’m glad I found his practice.

Excellent care as always.

Very pleasant. Dr. Phillpotts always takes the time to explain my care and why. Great personality and doesn't mind my many questions. I really admire him for how he took over for Dr. Borenstein because I know as a patient transitioning to another doctor you've been with for many years is not easy and I'm sure it wasn't easy for him either. He took all my questions, etc. in stride and always had good reasons for any changes he recommended for my care. Glad I stuck with him. :-)

It is always a pleasure to see Dr. Berhanu. She is very competent, very pleasant and very thorough. She always listens to my questions and answers them fully in a way that I can completely understand. I recommend her highly to anyone seeking a rheumatism and/or arthritis physician.

He was excellent. Carefully asked my mother about all her issues and thoughtfully figured out a game plan for solving her health problems. Didn't rush my mother and was incredibly kind.

May 17, 2025
Always a pleasure. Dr. Berhanu is a gem! Extremely professional, caring and really shows an interest in my overall health care. She has been monumental in detecting health issues unrelated to RA because she is that invested and thorough with her patients. I’ve had several RA doctors and when Dr. Momeni, moved out of the area I struggled for several years to find a good RA. Now that I have Dr. Berhanu, I will follow her to the moon if need be! The entire staff is also very helpful, kind and professional.

Everything you could desire in a great doctor - caring, sensitive, analytic, and thoughtful. Puts the patient front and center and plays the long game that he communicates well. He is your best kind of coach and advocate for your good health and care management.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Diamond for psoriatic arthritis for 4 years following the retirement of my long-term rheumatologist. Her care has been important for keeping me stable.

Dr. Berhanu is terrific - warm, attentive and knowledgeable. I hadn't seen her for several years and she reminded me of some issues that I had forgotten about.

Kiley promptly put me at ease, including with a strong, handshake and broad smile. She radiated interest in my health concerns and knowledge of how to proceed. In our general discussion, I happen ed to mention that it might be useful for me to get a report of the results of the blood test to be taken that day no other mention was made, but I got a call probably the next day giving me the results. As another example, I noted that I plan on seeking further physical therapy while we were in Massachusetts. I was pleased that I received in the mail physical therapy/occupational therapy orders that will help me obtain Physical Therapy help while we are away. Bill

I have fibromyalgia coupled with severe knee pain. Dr. Peng provided me with several treatment modalities. Nurse Esther was helpful and assisted me to the bathroom. A gentleman was helpful holding the chair until I could operate. I need a knee replacement, and there is not a cure for or fibromyalgia.
