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 love Dr. Lokare. He makes me feel welcome. NEVER rushed, asks questions and genuinely cares about his patients. Probably the only doctor who actually spends more than 8 minutes with you.

I have had several rheumatologists over the past 30 years. Dr. Lokare's care of my complicated health is top notch. He has referred me to an excellent pain manager as well. He is thorough, cautious and meticulous in addressing my needs.

Dr. Lokare is very intelligent, sensitive, compassionate, careful... He diagnosed, treated, and resolved my medical issues when an entire team of other physicians could not. I highly recommend him to others.

Office staff is horribly unorganized! Messages are not given to Dr or nurse nor do they document when you call. However Dr Lokare is amazing! He takes his time to listen and engage in conversation about treatment. He spends as much time as I need to discuss my problems. His caring and thoughtfulness help me to deal with this dreaded disease. The only problem is being able to reach him through his office staff. Which are very friendly but not adequate.

Office staff is unorganized, condescending, and inefficient. Dr. does not follow through on orders and does not answer questions. He actually told me “that’s not my problem, so I won’t help you”. Office staff said “it’s not life threatening so calm down”. Inappropriate and do not recommend.

Dr. Lokare is always prompt, asks alot of questions, and takes the time to answer any you may have. He's been treating my Lupus for 2 yrs, with no flares until this past month.
