Dr. Hassan Alissa, MD

When I think back to the pain I was in 14 years ago to now I’m doing amazing and I know it’s due to Dr Alissa and Ryan and Jasmine his PA. All are knowledgeable and dedicated to getting you comfy.

You spend more time with Ryan and Jasmine than with Dr Alissa but he knows exactly what is going on every minute. Ryan and Jasmine are top notch practitioners and I feel 100% safe, listened to, and taken care of. They do care if you feel good. My goal was pain i could handle. Their goal was no pain. Even if they know they can’t get there it is still the goal.

I've only had my initial appointment but I am already so pleased with my first appointment. Everything from the ease of scheduling, location, wait time to my actual appointment was excellent. I need to give a special shout-out to the nurse Debrorah. I was having an anxiety attack and she talked me through it and for the first time in years I felt heard. Dr. Alissa is kind and thorough. I highly recommend Arthritis Clinic of Central Texas.

Nurses are very friendly. Good vibe in the office. He answered questions in details not like the other rheum I went to before him. I really liked that he reviewed with me each abnormal value and gave a reasonable explanation. I am excited to see if I can get some help from the medication he gave me. Have been taking it for few days without problems. Keeping fingers crossed!!!

Was impressed with first two visits and diagnosed me with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I then had a bad reaction to the medication. Couldn’t get in to see doctor till next scheduled appointment. Went to see primary care physician because I was so I’ll. He weaned me off the meds and sent me to another rheumatologist. Did all the same tests and found I did not have Rheumatoid Arthritis and should have never been on the medication to begin with. This doctor ordered 12 vials of blood drawn, x-rays of all my painful areas which were negative for Rheumatoid Arthritis. I would give 0 ?? if I could.

I feel like just another number at this practice. The doctor doesn't have time to see you for more than a hello. Have had 3 visits and have seen 3 different PA's. Started seeing Dr Alissa when in the midst of several mobility, heart and vascular issues requiring a constant series of procedures and care. This required rearranging my scheduled appointments with a variety of caretakers and others. When necessary to reschedule because of invasive procedures or surgery I explained my reason to the schedulers. In spite of the reason for my rescheduling a couple of appointments, my request for refill of needed medication was denied by his office resulting in my having to unnecessarily tolerate much pain. I received zero consolation or a solution when trying to explain this to a member of his office staff except to wait for the appointment scheduled for the following month.

Extremely satisfied with Dr. Alissa and his office staff, very happy with the treatment I have received. The medication and physical therapy have improved my pain and mobility.

I went to see Dr.Alissa for two visits.On my very first visit he diagnosed me with Lupus and prescribed, Plaquenil. I had tons of questions and wanted more information. He wrote Lupus on a piece of paper and said to google it, as I will get all my answers online. The second appt was just as fast as the first one. I saw his Nurse first and talked to her about my situation and allergic reaction to the meds. She told me they will try a different med. Dr. Alissa walked in and said I was good to go and will try a different medicine, I questioned the medication after he stated it was not FDA Approved and was actually used for to help prevent organ transpant rejection, along with so many negative side effects. He became very rude, and asked me if I realized what kind of doctor he was, and that is job was to prescribe medicine. Long story short, I went to another Dr. I was misdiagnosed by Dr Alissa.I have RA, and not Lupus. He's too quick to diagnose, and shove medicine down your throat.

His staff is efficient and friendly. I really like his PA, she answered all my questions and was very knowledgeable. Dr. Alissa is great, he is attentive and answers any questions you may have. He does a very complete exam with attention to detail.

Dr. Alissa is wonderful. He is very knowledgeable and caring. He listens and answers all questions. He is very personable. His staff is always cheerful and helpful! I recommend him often.

I will be always grateful for Dr. Alissa. He knew what my diagnosis In a short time, something that I had five other rheumatologists describe as “chronic fatigue syndrome” and “fibromyalgia”. I believe he listened to I said and was very professional. His nurses and all staff were nice too. Jazmine always clear about what she says to me. Thank you very much for your excellent care.

I really liked the doctor and the PA. The appointment and billing staff are not the friendliest. My copay was 45.00. I received my insurance statement and insurance was charged 507.00 each time I went. Seemed way to much for 2 minute visits/follow up. Going to find another doctor.

I am writing this after I have seen many rheumatologists. He is very thorough and knew what my symptoms exactly were. He was the first to diagnose me with RA and started me on a treatment that is starting to work. I am so grateful for he has done. Staff are awesome, always cheerful and professional.

If I could write a negative star here I would. He never asked for my previous doctors records before he got any of the three pages of bloodwork he ordered and $500 worth of x-rays he took me off of the medicine I’ve been on for many years and put me on three more. It’s a medicine that I should’ve been tapered off and was working just fine so there was no need to take me off of it in the first place. I suffered a horrible pain for a week until another doctor fixed it ! Stay wave far away !!

I feel confident with my choice of Rheumatology care. Dr. Alissa and his staff are knowledgeable, compassionate and friendly. They all take the time to answer my questions and I have never felt rushed. I appreciate their devotion to their patients as we are all looking to them for comfort during a most difficult time. They make it a little bit easier to “Embrace the Suck”! You guys are awesome!

Misdiagnoses patients, puts them on medications that are not appropriate for their symptoms and then tells them they are wrong and just to continue their meds and see him in a few months. He comes across as polite but disregards anything you say or ask and claims you have certain conditions when their is absolutely no evidence of that condition after massive amounts of diagnostic testing.

Dr Allissa has changed my life for the better. He diagnosed and is treating me for different types of arthritis, when I have an appointment he is professional and courteous. The staff in his office are friendly and knowledgeable. . I recommend this Dr. to everyone ! He has the highest rating in every way from me.

I am so far satisfied with the service all the staff is friendly and knowledge

Dr. Alissa is wonderful. He has an excellent manner in how he is concerned with the well being of his patients. I would highly recommend him to my family and friends.

Most people who know me, know that my least favorite thing, is to make a Dr's visit. Cannot say that I looked forward going to Dr Alissa's office the first time, however the pain and discomfort made me willing to forget my apprehensions. It was with relief, that I was met with real concern and assurances, that after evaluation, I could be helped with pain management. Most impressive was his willingness to take the time to insure that my wife & I understood my condition and his suggestions.
