Dr. Ailda Nika, MD

She did not listen to my symptoms or health story. She rushed through the appointment, kept interrupting me, and telling me that I should have seen a GI instead (despite being referred to her by my GI doctor).

I was dismissed and not offered any assistance. When I tried to discuss my issues with her, she talked over me and blew me off.

I waited more than 2 months for an appointment with Dr. Nika and she rushed through my appointment, blew off my questions, and dismissed some of the information I provided about my health. She kept going back to the prescription she was sending over would resolve many of my symptoms. The medication gave me TERRIBLE side effects, which turns our could have worsened other symptoms for a pre-existing disease. I am surprised by this doctor's poor listening skills, patient manners and lack of interest, as this is the first RUSH doctor I have been treated by have been the exact opposite. Don't waste your time and find another Rheumatologist.

Dr Nika is very knowledgeable. She's kind and compassionate! Best experience!

Dr. Nika never told my daughter that she had Lupus even though she prescribed medication to her. She saw my daughter several times over a 3 year period. She always rushed through appointments and only ordered blood work but never gave an explanations for abnormal test results. Now my daughter is experiencing some health issues and was told that she has Lupus which was a shock to us but doctors assumed that we knew. One of the worst physicians ever. I would never recommend her to anyone.

She rushed through my appointment. I had questions about medication and what i could take with it. She basically treated me like i was drug addict. She said i have inflammatory arthritis, but didn’t do much to help me. She was rude, spoke over me, and not helpful. People go to the doctors when they need help. She was not compassionate or kind. Will not ever go to her or rush again.

She was rude to me and gave me the wrong diagnosis. She didn't take her time with me. She rushed me alone.

One of the worst experiences I have had with a doctor. Terrible bedside manners, talked over me, did not listen to anything I said about my issues and belittled my experience despite proof. She refused offer proper care and to look into the issue. I would not visit her again.

I just love Dr Nika!!!!

My provider was outstanding!

Excellent

Dr Nika is the best

Good

The best that's why I go to Rush.

Dr. Nikka was very patient and thorough. For my first visit, she may me feel very comfortable.

She’s wonderful! Dr. Nika answered all of my questions. She is extremely easy to work with. And she definitely knows what she’s doing. She’s quick, efficient, doesn’t baby you, gets right to the point!

Dr. Nika has no bedside manner and is probably the rudest Doctor I have seen. I went to her for a second opinion and she would not see me unless she had past diagnostic records. I was in need of a fresh look at my medical case, and she was definitely put out by this. She sighed, made little eye contact and was visibly annoyed. She was scribbling on a note pad, doodling. I burst into tears as my husband and I were desperate for answers. Stick to research doc and find compassion for patients

Dr. Nika and her staff were rude and dismissive. I left her office with no diagnosis, feeling ashamed for seeking treatment. She never called me or returned my calls to discuss my test results. I was urged by my regular doctor to see someone else based on my blood work. It turns out that she missed a pretty obvious diagnosis. If I hadn't been encouraged to seek a second opinion, I would be in terrible pain, living with an undiagnosed autoimmune disease.
