Dr. David Lurie, MD

Barrage of questions from Dr Lurie; I was never allowed to explain or discuss anything. He was more interested in my treatment for other medical issues than the issues I was seeing him for (consult). He spoke to me in a very derogatory manner, especially regarding my recent weight gain. I left his office feeling defeated. Several years ago, I saw a rheumatologist in Kingsport. What a different experience! I hope they will now accept my insurance and I can return to them!

His nurse is the most unprofessional, and disrespectful human in the business! I never got to see the Dr. Do to not being informed of initial appt then canceling me, for no reason on the follow up! I wouldn’t recommend anyone to this non functional buisness!

Dr. Lurie was beyond my expectations! He listens! Highly knowledgeable. His nurse and staff are top of the line. I love the fact he does not sugar coat anything! I have the utmost respect and gratitude for all his help.

Dr. Lurie is not a “people person”. He’s rude and does not permit you to speak at all other than to answer his questions. I wasn’t trying to talk about the weather, I was trying to tell him what was hurting and bothering me in order for him to fully diagnose my issues. I never did get to tell him anything at all about my issues. He judged everything he needed to do solely by my medical file from my doctor. He promised to let me speak after answering his questions but he never did. He rushed hurriedly through everything and said No follow-up visit needed and walked out of the door. I do Not recommend him at all. Many of my concerns and Issues were never addressed. I have to go back to my doctor and try to get another referral to see a different provider in order to get fully evaluated and treated.

Excellent care by staff, Nurse Judy and Doctor Lurie.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Lurie for nearly 20 years and would highly recommend him. His chair side manner is quick and a little stilted but through my own experience as his patient, I can see the reason for it. I trust Dr Lurie completely with my autoimmune conditions, which are extensive. His care and alertness to my complaints and symptoms have resulted in the best health possible to attain. I would not go to another rheumatologist unless absolutely necessary.

Would ask questions and not wait for my response. He was very abrupt to the point of rudeness. Every time I saw him he would change the diagnosis, and after 2 years still haven’t figured out what my health problem is. I’m seeing a different specialist and I would recommend the same to anybody who reads this.
