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.

Terrible experience.
Unpleasant. Rude. No trust in this place

The best doctor I've ever had (and I've had many)
I found Dr. Diamond a few years ago when I was looking for a rheumatologist who could treat me as a whole person rather than just a collection of symptoms to be addressed individually. I hit the jackpot! Her emotional intelligence, professional knowledge, and ability to explain things clearly provide a 5-'diamond' experience. I always know I'm in good hands and trust her implicitly.

I couldn’t pick a better doctor!
I love Dr Diamond. I have been seeing her for 15 years and just saw her again yesterday. I always appreciate the time she spends with me, telling me what’s going on, discussing options and answering my questions. It’s never rushed. She is very knowledgeable and is also very personable. It's obvious that she sincerely cares for her patients! I am in great hands!

Knowledgable, Professional, Highly Recommend
I entered the office full of worry and anxiety. Dr. Diamond upon entering the exam room put my mind to rest. It was evident that she had thoroughly reviewed my records and collaborated with my physicians. She explains things in layman's terms and I felt comfortable asking questions when I didn't understand. She is an excellent physician, knowledgeable in her field, listens to the patient, above all she is a most respectful and caring individual. I would indeed recommend Dr. Diamond.

Very Highly Recommended
I very highly recommend Dr Diamond, as she has been a very valued part of my health care team over the years. She has skillfully managed my osteoporosis and osteoarthritis and both have so much improved, even though I have had various other serious health conditions. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field, helpful, and very supportive. I cannot say enough about my good experiences with her and how grateful I am to have her as one of my doctors.

Dr. Diamond did not examine my ankle (where my arthritis causes me the most problems) or my fingers. She didn't even ask me to remove my shoes. I was not examined at all and my entire visit was focused around if I was going to get the Covid vaccine. At the end of our very brief appointment, she told me I need to come back in 3 months, when I typically see her every 6-8 months. With my symptoms completely under control (not that she would know since she didn't look) I'm confused why I would need to return so soon. My only thought is - she wants to check up on my "vaccination status" which (by the way) is not her job. After this ridiculous visit that was centered around my vaccination status and not my physical disability, I will not be returning.

Unresponsive concerning health issues. I called her once in the 2-3 years I had her as a rheumatologists, and she refused to speak to me about a health concern. If that weren't enough, her office is very unorganized.
