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.

Dr. Ghetie and her staff are great! The staff is very friendly. I never have to wait past my appointment time. Dr. Ghetie is thorough and listens. She was able to find my diagnosis that was in her field and tell me that other symptoms meant something else was wrong and to see another specialist who eventually found the other illness.

Dr. Ghetie was dismissive of all of my symptoms and test results. Not at all open-minded. Unable to adequately articulate why she felt my symptoms and test results were not relevant. When I asked her questions her answers were not at all helpful. I left her office feeling like she had absolutely no interest in helping me resolve my issues. She did not follow up with any of the referrals that she told me she would. I had to call her medical assistant 3 months later to find out she never did it.

Dr Ghetie treated me in the Winter/Spring of 2016, when I was in the process of being diagnosed with a mystery illness. She is absolutely wonderful, insightful, responsive and was KEY to figuring out what was going on with me even though the final dx was not even in her discipline. She also diagnosed another side set of problems I have been plagued with for years and listened to me carefully and with great insight. I highly recommend her to anyone, I can't imagine a better doctor.

Dr Ghetie was incredibly dismissive of my symptoms. She even told me that I had rosacea (and wasn't getting a malar rash) despite the fact that I've been to two very good dermatologists who never said I have rosacea. She also completely dismissed all my other symptoms. I thought rheumatologists were supposed to be open-minded. She's the kind of doctor that makes people hate doctors...and I work in the medical field myself!

Dr. Ghetie is fantastic! We have been lead to rheumatology through a series of other disciplines... chiro, orthopedic and physical therapy. She is kind and astute which is so important when a patient is warn down by cronic pain and is trying to get some answers about what is going on. She has also been wonderful about NOT dismissing the information gathered from other doctors (as mentioned above) in considering what is going on... helping to put all of the pieces together.
