After waiting another month I arrived for my appt with Dr. Alper. Not only did they lose the referral as well as the online paperwork I had filled out but inadvertently cancelled my appt After waiting an hour after my original appt time they decided to have the PA see me instead of the dr This is the most terrible unorganized office I have ever seen. No confidence in seeing any dr at this office. Don't consider this office if you care about your healthcare.

I have not seen them since May so that is 9 months without seeing the provider. Unbelievable.

MOST THOROUGH, hands-on exam I have ever had by a doctor, even a PCP. I suffer from extreme lordosis ("sway back") and DDD, as well as a narrowing of structures in my spinal cord, still, following a spinal fusion 3 years ago. It causes aches that start in my lower back and as long as I am standing or walking it starts after about a minute and persists and only gets worse until I sit, bend completely over 90 degrees, or lie down. :( I'm only 38 years old and this has caused me to be pretty much a complete homebody and gain about 80 pounds. My career as a paramedic is gone. I do have to point out specifically her medical assistant!! She went over every page of my new patient paperwork, and actually cared what I had written down. This is the first place that I felt like I hadn't taken the time to fill out needless paperwork, just for someone to come in and have no clue what I was there for. I know that it does take a lot of time for her to do this, but she actually then gave a full report to Dr. Kini, before she came in to see me. And I could hear it, it was thorough, and Dr. Kini would ask her questions and clarify things, and when she came in to see me, she knew exactly why I was there. I can't say enough about how nice that is. Her hands on exam reminded me about the way medicine used to be, before computers, and imaging, and the doctor actually had to touch you to diagnose, not just be buried in a laptop screen the entire appointment. Dr. Kini does not bring in a laptop, only paper, and she has someone dictate her notes, which gave her time with me. I did have to get into a gown open in the back and I was able to leave my bra and underwear on. She felt along my back and did strength things with my arms, hands. Legs and feet. She checked all of my reflexes. She had me walk back and forth, while she watched. Had me bend over to check my range of motion, etc. She did offer me hope in the form of PT. And she referred me to the absolute best PT place I have ever been to, Select PT. They are miracle workers, even though I was skeptical. I get to see Dr. Kini again July 5th, and I can't wait. Note to everyone, she does possibly prescribe narcotics, and you will have to sign an opiate agreement with the new patient paperwork. For me, I already see another pain specialist and that is where my meds come from, so, just so you know, you can't have two doctors prescribing for obvious reasons. I was asked for $25 for the drug test cup, prior to seeing her, and that was before the front staff knew this was a second opinion, but I never had to use the cup and I still have it. But have $25 ready in addition to your copay for it. She is legit to the max, and her whole practice is professional and I love them. Thank you Dr. Kini and Staff

He listens closely, explains everything in a clear and thoughtful way, and has a remarkable ability to make you feel both heard and reassured--even during the most complex diagnostic processes. As I work through a diagnosis involving autoimmune/connective tissue disease, Dr. Drucker's expertise and calm guidance have been invaluable. He's not only incredibly smart and thorough, but he also builds a warm, trusting rapport that makes a real difference when you're navigating uncertainty. Though he is retiring soon, I deeply trust the referral he has made for my continued care. It's hard to put into words how much I'll miss him--he's a rare and special doctor whose presence in medicine will be greatly missed. Thank you, Dr. Drucker, for everything.

After a few years I decided I could return and was told I would have to start over as a new patient and couldn't get in for EIGHT MONTHS. I resigned myself to the fact that I would have to make the appointment and wait although I was in extreme pain. After waiting the required time and within a week of my appointment I received a phone call telling me that "the doctor wouldn't be in on the day of my appointment" and that I would have to wait an additional THREE MONTHS to see a doctor unless I wanted to see a PA...but that was TWO MORE MONTHS! I accepted the appointment with the PA as I was desperate to get in, but after reflecting on it decided that this was not the kind of care I was looking for. I feel that maybe they could have titrated their appointments out so that people who had been waiting so long to get in wouldn't have to wait so much longer. I cancelled the appointment and after a year now of waiting I am moving on to another practice. Put this practice on your back burner.

If you are reading this, you know how hard it is to find a rheumatologist, let alone a spectacular one. Because everyone in this practice is so wonderful, they are insanely busy.
