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.

Doctor Rizvi was very skilled at making sure that I understood what he was talking about at all times. He was truly concerned about my symptoms and made sure I was not masking my answers.

Attentive, Knowledgeable and Compassionate
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis that is treated with monthly in-office biologic therapy. During the summer when I am temporarily away from my Florida home and Rheumatologist, Dr. Rizvi provides continuity of care in an attentive, knowledgeable and compassionate manner. His staff is friendly and helpful in arranging appointments and follow up. I recommend Dr. Rizvi and the Arthritis Clinic.

Dr,Rizvi is very difficult to get answers from. His staff does not return calls. Dr. does not send my reports to my personal physician. He does not return ANY phone calls. The business office does not send records to my new Dr. I tried for over 3 years to work with him. He just did not care! He also misdiagnosed me!!!

Even when patients come late to their appointments or come too early, he does not deny them service. He tries his best to care and cater to his patients. He puts his patients first because he actually wants to help them improve their health. He goes out of his way to make sure that his patients are happy with their visit and service.

If I could give zero stars I would. I saw him for treatment of my lupus, but when I became pregnant he changed my treatment despite my obgyns wanting to keep it the same. I delivered my daughter at 25 weeks gestation. It was later determined I had a lupus flare and clotting from my lupus triggered my preterm labor. He nearly cost my daughter her life.

Mayo Clinic prescribed me high doses of IV steroids, but Dr Rizvi refused to administer them. Stating it would cause a condition called AVN. At the time I was so upset, I just wanted relief, and who was he to second guess the mighty Mayo Clinic. Well I found a doc who would, and Dr. Rizvis prediction was correct. I have AVN in both my hips. It's a painful, life long condition. I'm 47 and just had a hip replaced. Dr. Rizvi is the real deal!
