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.

Has done what other Rheumys could not
Dr. Dean has listened, looked and suggested many treatments other Rheumys were hesitant to suggest. She is an excellent advocate and thinks out-of-the-box. Psoriatic Arthritis is tough and Dr. Dean has the knowledge to deal with my health!

Dr. Dean was great at first, but that was >6yrs ago. Expect to get dropped like a hot potato if you've been taking any pain meds or muscle relaxers for awhile to function! I was thrown to the wolves with ZERO support to get off all addictive pain meds at once this year, due to her reckless negligence. Will not return. I've been unable to function since; I am now on disability, & had to file bankruptcy. I was truly functional while on my meds; working full time with a high income, before she made this drastic change. She forced me into a situation of disability, pushing me to become a drain on society, vs being a productive taxpayer (no more Plaquenil means no more ME - that little pill is my life ins with lupus.) But whatever's easiest for you, Doc! Why would you ever stop all my meds 100%, cold turkey, including immunosuppressants? (Is she literally trying to take me out??) "DO NO HARM" is as dead as the entire medical profession/health care is in this country. What a cruel JOKE.

I've been a patient of Dr Dean's for the last 6 years. She has been the most intelligent, caring, helpful, thoughtful doctor I have ever had. I've gone through a lot of autoimmune issues and its been a roller coaster but she has been a huge support. In the appointment, she also takes the time to explain and help you in a calm manner.

Walked into the exam room. Did no exam had no lab work or X-rays. Just looked at me and said you don’t have RA, you are just fat. Thank you. I wouldn’t have known I was fat without your diagnosis. How come my fingers are twisted?
