It was my first appointment with Dr. Oshinsky (I was a patient of another doctor in the same office, who retired). I found Dr. Oshinsky to be young, professional, knowledgable, and thoughtful.

Dr. Maher actually hears me. Whatever my concerns or questions I’ve asked, she listens and addresses them all; even explains lab numbers to the degree that I can easily follow her logic for medical plan of actions. A Competent, compassionate, thoughtful, intuitive and proficient communicator.

After the retirement of Dr. Wolfe, I was referred to Dr. Osinski and what a great experience he picked up right where Dr. Wolfe left off was very caring. Listened well seemed concerned and just an all-around great experience with him. If you’re looking for a great rheumatologist, Dr. Oshinsky would be a great pick.Sincerely C. Maga

Dr Maher has been taking care of me for a few years now and it’s been quite tricky because of my history and symptoms. She hasn’t given up and she is leaving no stone unturned. She listens, she cares and she is so smart yet down to earth. I would recommend her to anyone and I have recommended her to people needing her speciality.

Always a wonderful experience! Dr. Maher is personable and professional! She takes the time to listen to my concern and questions; she takes the time to address and explain those questions in a way that I can understand. Never appears rushed or bothered although I know she must certainly be busy! Cannot thank her enough for care and interest!

Great listener. Very thorough discussion of everything related to my care with her.

Dr. Maher should have been a pediatrician. Superb doctor, excellent diagnoses, sense of humour, very warm and caring physician. Her medical practice is very fortunate enough to have included her. Dr. Maher is so top notch, I think she gave me rheumatic fever. Six stars for Dr. Maher. Don't go to anyone else.

As was the case with Dr. Maher, it was evident Nurse Cheripko had taken the time to familiarize herself with my medical history. All of her questions to me were on-point; her physical examination to determine my strength was complete; her suggestions on what I should be doing to minimize the effects of the myositis and how to proceed with my care were all very logical. I do feel extremely comfortable under her and Dr. Maher’s care…both are extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, kind and caring.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr Oshinsky. He is the most patient knowledgeable, and awesome doctor I have ever had. I have worked in healthcare for over 40 years and he is one of very few. His bedside manner is the best I highly recommend him for anybody with anything rheumatological. He’s extremely smart as well and knows his stuff.
