Thank you Dr. Ahn. After being a patient of ARA for 40 yrs., we have been together 3 months. Your knowledge of past history and thorough reviews currently were very reassuring. The front desk has been especially helpful with assisting numerous billing errors and not receiving a bill in ages. Lastly, just an inquiry about the parking situation. WHAT HAPPENED?

Dr Ahn is an excellent choice for a rheumatologist. She listens extremely well. Has a very compassionate nature. She is progressive in her approach to finding the best fit for your wellness.

I have been going to this practice for many years. After my rheumatologist retired, he referred me to Dr Kumar. I have been seeing her for a few years now. The office is very clean, the staff is professional, and there is little waiting time. Dr. Kumar listens carefully, is knowledgeable, and thoroughly reviewed my medical records. She even took the time to review bloodwork I had done with another doctor.
