I was seeing a DO physician and he retired. I have been looking and was referred to Catherine by a…read morefriend who said she is the only doctor who was able to keep me out of a wheelchair. DO's are so much more holistic in their approach and though her manipulation technique was different from what I was used to I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend this wonderful doctor to anyone with back pain or mobility issues. I'm sure she is great at everything but she certainly has helped me with my back and walking.

If you want to have your time completely disrespected this is your place . The dr does fine work…read morebut the wait times are absolutely ridiculous and offensive. I have never come and waited less than 45 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. My last visit I waited over TWO HOURS! I would have just left but the staff kept giving me 20 minutes until the doctor is ready. I even left and came back at one point and they still weren't ready and said 20 minutes where I waited .... you guessed it over 20 minutes . I never leave bad reviews but this is wild . It was not a last minute appointment and the waiting room only had one other person In it. If you're going there you may as well take the day off work .

I have been treated for RS since 2014 and never heard of this text! I've had 3 Rheumatologist prior to Dr Atcha. She is the best Dr Atcha. There is no way I believe the negative review prior to mine. She is soft spoken and wouldn't yell at anyone! We are so lucky to have her in our area. Good Rheumatologists are hard to find, She is the best.
