I've seen plenty of doctors in my time. Grant Louie, by far is kindest, most thorough and knowledgeable doctor I have seen in the last 50 years. I recommend him to any of my friends that may need a rheumatologist.

Dr. Louie explains everything after getting a Dekascan (sp?). He answered all my questions and we discussed how to make improvements and worked out a course of action. He listened and I didn’t feel rushed. He is very kind and when I left, I felt heard and confident in what I needed to do. Excellent physician.
