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.

Excellent visit, Dr P{osner takes his time and reviewed my tests, chart, etc and then explained everything tom and answered all my questions. I can't say enough good things about him!

I've been seeing this Dr for 4 months. He hardly did anything to help my arthritis. When I questioned his ability to help me instead of coming up with a plan of treatment he just told me to see another Dr. I believe he was milking AHCCS for unnecessary office visits with providing little care to the patient. The wait time in his office was two hours or more. He got mad when I called him out on his long wait times. His staff is rude and will not help you. The MA will never call you back. Horrible Dr I wasted 4 months with pain because he was so bad. Getting my medical records was ridiculous and then when I read them he dictated someone eleses medical notes. Do not go to this Dr. Horrible experience

Dr. Posner is nice and very attentive. Though, his staff is very quick to cut you off and does not listen or take down notes well. They also do not take FSA/HSA payments and do not fill out any paperwork that you need for work or other purposes. First time I have to be charged to get paperwork filled out each time and unable to receive notes and visits take a long time to be seen. You'll be stuck there for a few hours.

Dr Posner is a fabulous doctor. His skills and humanity are impeccable. Dr Posner is the Best Doctor. He genuinely cares about pain management with an objective of the best possible way to maintain a pain free perimeter. The waiting room is always full because many patients know the care they receive will be the best. This is a true man of medicine! A real Doctor who cares about you with dignity and the best skills I have ever been privelaged to experience. Great Doctor! C Boles

Best Dr I ever met! Dr. Posner use to come to Yuma a few times a month, I believe. It was he, who diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia. Later he stopped coming to Yuma and I would travel to Phoenix to see him. Eventually,. the trips we're too much for me. He helped with my disability claim as well. Always a great caring doctor. I truly miss him. Thank you Dr. Stuart Posner, you're the best!

Had my first appointment and yes it took a while but I barely got the appointment the day before thanks to Patricia going above and beyond to make sure I was seen. I loved meeting Dr. Posner! Feels like I won the lottery. You can only understand if you've had to suffer thru horrible Doctors time after time. Finally found someone who listens, seems to really care about how lupus affects me personally and wants to make sure he's doing the best by me. I haven't stopped smiling since I left

Dr. Posner is the absolute best Rheumatologist I've ever had!! He is kind, understanding, down to earth, humble, caring, and respectful.. He actually listens to what you're dealing with unlike most doctors these days who could care less..I've actually sent my mom and my cousin to him and they are under his care as well. Now when you go see him you MUST be prepared to wait because he takes his time with all of his patients!!! And that says alot.. He is an amazing Dr.

Yes you will have to wait quite awhile - and no, he doesn't have email and electronic files. But he's smart and seems to take a genuine interest. I have Lupus and I have been to other rheumatologists and he is by far worth the wait.

As a 2 yr. patient Dr. Posner is professional and kind the most caring Dr. I've ever had! Never have I been treated with the upmost concern as well as his office staff! I want to give them Kudos for putting up with patients who are not patient, kind or caring! As local Phoenix women I am grateful for there service!

The wait is 4 hours long and lucky if you get a chair. Rude and nasty office manager and unprofessional Doctor looking at my chest. 2 1/2 years later I left and got a letter saying I was fired as a patient. This place needs to be investigated.... Multiple dents in my skin from botched steroid injections.

Angry mother in Gilbert, AZ – May 21, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Posner?
Archaic environment. No electronic medical records. Staff want same patient information that was given at last appointment even if nothing has changed. Wait times are ridiculous 45 minutes to up to 2 hours. First appointment, Doctor left in the middle of exam to take a phone call. Didn't even stay for my last appointment. Got fed up and left. Would never recommend this doctor to anyone. He needs to retire.
