Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Absolutely amazing
There is no better Rheumatologist then Dr. Dissick. I was a recently diagnosed with RA and had seen atleast 4 specialist I was very stressed they were all quick to put me on prednisone on that got me so sick with sleep deprived and still inflamed. Thankfully my Primary Doctor Jency Thomas recommended me to see Dr. Dissick and once I met her and she said we have to get you off this prednisone I finally felt in good hands she is top of the line. She listens and only want to get you back to good health and thankfully she did that with me and my arthritis. I highly recommend her

She's amazing
Dr. Dissick saved my finger. When everyone wanted to amputate my finger due to my issue, she found a way to treat and fix the problem. She is very intuitive., and can recognize issues before they become a big problem. She is thorough and smart., very good doctor.

Unprofessional & Disrespectful Experience
My recent visit to Dr. Addie Disick was nothing short of a nightmare. First and foremost, Dr. Disick was an entire hour late for our appointment. When she finally arrived, her demeanor was shockingly rude and unprofessional. Rather than addressing my concerns and questions, she dismissed them outright. Her attitude was condescending, and it was clear she had no interest in providing me with the care and attention any patient deserves.To make matters worse, when I presented her with the blood tests and results from other doctors, she rudely referred to them as 'garbage.' This kind of disrespect towards fellow medical professionals and their work is unacceptable. It left me questioning her ability to provide competent and comprehensive medical care.Overall, my experience with Dr. Disick was extremely disappointing. Her lack of professionalism, respect, and basic courtesy was appalling. I would not recommend

horrendous
Dr. Dissick asked more questions regarding my insurance coverage than my symptoms. Her staff drew insufficient specimen, resulting in an unnecessary lab visit and excessive billing for their error. Patients feeling unwell may have a better experience elsewhere.

Dr. Dissick appears rushed and flustered, not fully listening, not a "team player" within the Prohealth system (actually disagrees with other specialists diagnoses). Does not connect with patient & shows little empathy. Lacks bedside manner, talks over patient and has raised her voice on 2 occasions without provocation. Greatly disappointed.

Went to see Doctor Dissik because I was having muscle pain in my legs, swollen ankles and feet and was having difficulty walking. She examined me , drew blood and put me on prednisone. She advised that she would call me within a week for lab results . She never called me and further more I called the office for the labs and asked to speak to doctor because my condition worsened and had to stay home from work . The staff member stated that she wasn’t In and that she’d call me on Monday .The st

I find Dr. Dissick to be a good Rheumatologist and very knowledgeable in her field. For a few years II had all the symptoms of RA but two doctors could not verify the disease. One thing that I like Dr. Dissick for is she lets you ask all the questions you and takes the time to answer them. She is also good at phoning with test results so you don't have to wait for results.

I have only seen the doctor once but the review stating she is unpleasant and won' listen sounds patently false. I was called in by the nurse earlier than my appointment. I saw the doctor right away. Very good manner. She spend nearly a half hour listening to my history, examining me thoroughly, and asking many questions.

I have severe RA & have been a patient of Dr. Dissick for almost 2 years. She is an excellent doctor - both knowledgable & empathetic. Dr. Dissick takes the time to listen to how I feel. I consider myself very lucky to have her as my doctor.

I have been seeing Dr. Dissick for the past 9 months and am very pleased. I have been impressed by her knowledge and her willingness to discuss my health issues for however long I need. Communication with me by staff members after appointments is also excellent. When I arrive for an appointment, I rarely need to wait for more than 5-10 minutes to see her. I really do not understand some of the other comments made. Dr. Dissick is excellent.

wait time in waiting room & exam room w/o explanation horrible, was only one there, when a new patient comes in they are vulnerable and nervous, patience and understanding of that needs to be learned, time together was rushed and when I had a question or misunderstood something she was condensing and got snippy when results came in took 2 wks waiting for her to sign off, asst. called with results so I was unable to ask ?'s or what next step was, will not be back, no bedside manor whatsoever

After consultation, I had to practically beg Dr. Dissick her for an MRI, after receiving results, I tried speaking to her, but she never got on the phone to speak to me. Instead she asked one of the receptionist to refer me to Pain management, without explaining all possible options available to me. This is very unprofessional, I had seen another rheumatologist 2year ago, and have a very positive response from him. Her staff was very courteous and helpful.
