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.
