A very new resident took my initial information therefore I only spoke to the Dr for a very brief time. This is my first visit with a rheumatologist. It was a lot of information to absorb in a very short meeting. I left feeling as if i needed to do my own research afterwards.

The doctor Whittier is very nice and professional. Her nurse is very nice as well. The receptionist is professional but just a matter of a fact, could be a littler friendlier or personal. But all in all is a good experience.
