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.

Horrible
As soon as he walked in he said, oh you're in a wheelchair. Acted annoyed and cut me off with my symptoms. Asked who sent me. Proceeded to tell me I needed to have my guts rearranged, weight loss surgery, how he certainly wouldn't want to do that himself. Then put in my chart that I have a hygiene issue. Umm, no hygiene issue here. I know how to bathe. Very unpleasant visit. Do not recommend this doctor.

No, did not make him my rheumatologist
Maybe he had a conflict with my excellent Harvard trained lung doc and cancer center. Dr pick wanted to run the show over the lung doc and cancer treatment center and I thought he was arrogant. Lung doc referred me to him cause I had to get a rheumatologist to treat my rare and deadly autoimmune disorder.

Love him
Been seeing Dr Pick for 3 or 4 years. He and his nurses are wonderful. Dr Pick always spends at least a minimum of 20 minutes in the room with me, sometimes longer. Easy to talk to. He listens. He explains very well…. In terms I can understand. As long as he is practicing, I will continue to see him.

Was condescending the first time I saw him over 10 years ago for my fibromyalgia and even more so now with my new diagnosis of osteoarthritis. Did not want to look at sites of pain/inflammation/swelling(like my hands), only wanted to tell me my glutes being tight was the reason for my going on 2 years daily lower back pain. Oh, and I need to lose weight. Appointment was less than 15 minutes and a complete waste of time and money.

he was dismissive on my first visit. Acted like i was a bother and seemed bored with me telling him my symptoms. Very vague, I asked about a specific Muscle pain of what that could be..and in a condescending tone stated ‘well you wouldn’t know what that came from’

Dr. Pick took the time to explain everything to me in language we could understand. I needed a different type of Dr. and he called and got me an appointment right on the spot. The best Dr. I have seen in years.
