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.

I just had my first visit with Dr Summers, and I am truly blown away by how amazing she is! She was very thorough in going through my complete history with me, explaining next steps, and noting all of the other doctors I have seen recently so she can update them on her findings. She was kind, informative, addressed all of my concerns, and looked at the complete picture of my health, beyond what a Rheumatologist would typically consider. It seems like in the past there were challenges with the office staff, which is a shame that lowered her score. This issue seems to be resolved now. Appointment scheduling and reaching them by phone were no issue. The office was well staffed and everyone was helpful. They have a patient portal where you can view test results, request refills, etc. They do blood draws on site and dexa scans as well. I'm very pleased with my experience and highly recommend Dr Summers.

I would never recommend this office to anyone! Their scheduling / messaging system is a nightmare. If you are sick, forget it, they won't call you or your PCP back. I ended up in the hospital for a week once because they could not see me in a timely fashion even though I begged in person. On another occasion I was ignored by the scheduling staff and my PCP's office even called 6 times with no call back. Totally unprofessional and uncaring. I lost my 24 yr. old daughter to Lupus and I have it too
