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.

Dr Eric was very thorough. He is very knowledgeable and understanding.He listened carefully, asked all the right questions, was very kind and patient. He made me feel very comfortable. He explained everything in detail, was always concerned that I understood everything. I loved his sense of humor! I highly recommend him.

Dr. Slavin is a great doctor. I really enjoy my appointments with him because he treats me like a friend instead of a number. We work together to find solutions and he’s helped find medications that help with my RA pain.

I'm 45 year old female and I've had rheumatoid arthritis since I was 17, Dr Slavin is the best rheumatologist I've ever had. I never feel rushed in his office, he always makes me feel like he genuinely cares about me and that it's not just a job for him. rheumatoid is so specific to each person he actually listens to you And your symptoms and then comes up with treatment, you don't fall into a category or a Box with him. I truly feel like I'm getting the best treatment I can and that's a God's send as I'm pretty active. On top of that he's a genuinely nice guy, I look forward to my appointments.

Excellent! I had my doubts whether I could be helped when I went to Dr. Slavin two years ago. He quickly diagnosed and treated me for RA and I've been feeling great since. He will take the necessary time to listen to you and your concerns. Best RA Dr. In Michigan! I just wish he could be my primary care physician.

I have had RA for over 25 years and prior to seeing Dr. Slavin I was really struggling. Dr. Slavin is knowledgeable, skilled, kind and empathetic. He always listens to my thoughts and concerns and includes me in the decision making about my care. I get timely responses to phone inquiries and always get worked into his schedule for immediate issues. Thanks to Dr. Slavin, my quality of life has improved tremendously. I would highly recommend Dr. Slavin and his very efficient support team to anyone.

Dr. Slavin is patient-focused and dedicated to facilitating the highest-quality of life. He listens to concerns, acknowledges patient opinion and suggestions, and understands that what works for one might might not work for all - and vice versa. I recommend him to ANYONE who is looking for a rheumatic specialist.
