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.

Highly Superior Dr.
Friendly staff and Doctor's comforting manner.

Dr Sikes has been a great doctor. He has so much experience, and is top notch in rheumatology. Also, Dr Sike's team of Tina, Nathan and the whole office staff have been very professional and accommodating. I'm very lucky to have them all managing my care.

Excellent Doctor
I have been going to Dr Sikes for many years. I drive one hour to get to his office and I am thankful I found him. I could not open or close my hands and my knees were so bad that I had trouble walking. My muscles were weak and could not comb my hair. I had been to three different doctors and they were not helping me. Dr. Sike knew what he was doing immediately and started me on a treatment plan that worked. He spent alot of time with me and his staff were great. He has a full time pharmacist that explains the medications and also is very knowledgeable. I am able to use my hands and I can walk all day. I highly recommend Dr. Sikes.

He doesn’t listen to his patients and makes diagnoses based on his assumptions. I don’t think he takes female patients seriously and prefers to give them the runaround instead of helping them find answers. You’re better off using the internet than you are wasting your time and money with him!

I have been a patient of Dr. Sikes' since about 2005. I have RA and Sjogren's Syndrome and without the doc's diligence I would probably still been in pain. He has made me feel close to my pre-illness self! He always spends quite a lot of time with me although I don't see him as often as I would prefer. In the last few years he began to see me less and less. I don't like this situation but I would never leave over that! He really is a very good doctor! He also listens to what I have to say! A rare quality!

I have been treated by Dr.Sikes for 5 years now. The 1st three years were spent trying to find a medication that would work for my rheumatoid arthritis which was severe. I was going in every three months and I continue to go in every 3 months. I didn't always see Dr. Sikes every time I went in but usually every other time. Now that my RA is under control, I no longer get to see him. I am seen by his staff who are only interested in telling me the results of my bloodwork which I have done every t

I was a patient RA of Dr. Sikes for over 6 years. I was treated very poorly in the end. The phrase "Do no harm " was not followed. I was in a huge flare needed a shot of prednisone was told by Dr and Nate the drug guy that unless I was willing to start Humria that day they would not give me a shot to bring down my flare. I was then told their job was not to MASK my pain, I left without relief ended up calling crying in pain later that week only to be told crying was NOT OK. I was dismissed.
