Rheumatologists who are Physicians - Clermont, FL

"Have had the displeasure of contacting this office twice and both times whoever is answering the phone has been short, rude, and unhelpful. I Had tests that required me to be seen by an rheumatologist and a referral sent and was denied care without even being seen or told why. I’m in the medical field and to deny care without the decency of reaching out, I had to call first, not told why and being diagnosed with a disease that requires an actual physical is crazy. "

"Her bedside manner is great. Very kind and friendly. As a new patient to her practice, she did a very thorough review of my medications, overall health and condition of my body, and generous testing to check status of my rheumatological issues. It was great to experience a specialist so attentive. Staff was great too"

"I moved from NY and was DR Avila was recommended to me. I found her to be extremely professional and extremely knowledgeable. Excellent listener and very thorough. I have seen her a few times and think she is the best. I sent my granddaughter to her and she also loved her! "

"Please believe me when I say you want to RUN far away from this guy! What is one of the most important things you want to find in a doctor, especially one in a specialty as frustrating as this? You want a doctor who listens to the patient and will actually care for the patient. When I tried to give him my history (being a new patient and all), he completely ignored me and didn't care what my previous doctors had diagnosed or the treatment plans I was on. Instead, he belittled me and made me feel like I didn't know what I was talking about, even though I've been living with this disease for over 15 years. I cannot express how unprofessional this guy is. From the moment he walks in his entire goal is to hear himself talk about how he's right and you couldn't possibly know anything about your disease, or 'if you even have it.' He is completely sure that he knows best and that the patients need to shut up and listen. I have never ran so fast away from a doctor. He makes you feel like you are not heard and you are a burden for being in his office. As a doctor with a specialty in Rheumatology, you would think he would have a better understanding of the disease and how everyone's body handles it differently. Do yourself a favor and find someone else. It took many attempts to find someone who actually seemed to know anything about Rheumatology and once I found them, it was a breath of fresh air. Again I cannot say enough how horrible this doctor is. "
