Dr. Anas Makhzoum

I am beyond grateful to Dr. Makhzoum. I suffered for over 2.5 years with reoccurrent joint pain, swelling and a general feeling of being unwell. I visited multiple Dr's and specialists and had a host of different tests before finally being diagnosed by Dr. Makhzoum. He took the time to explain everything to me and provided me with treatment options. Within three months of beginning treatment, I felt like I had my life back. The staff at his clinic are very pleasant and overall I have had a very positive experience.

Very pleasant reception. Dr Makhzoum listened gave me time, follow up has been faster, imaging requisitions and tests were prompt. I am very thankful for a second opinion as without his attention I would be down the wrong path for recovery and healing.

I recently had an appointment with this rheumatologist who left me feeling very frustrated and disappointed. As a newly diagnosed patient, I had a lot of worries and questions about my condition and treatment plan. Unfortunately, the doctor did not seem interested in taking the time to explain things to me or answer my questions. During the appointment, the doctor walked away while I was still talking to him and asked me to read about the medicine on my own. This was incredibly unprofessional and left me feeling confused and lost. As a patient, I expect my doctor to be attentive, compassionate, and willing to help me understand my health issues. I understand that doctors can be busy and have a lot of patients to see, but I don't think that's an excuse for poor communication or lack of empathy. If a doctor can't take the time to listen to their patients and provide the support they need, then what's the point of seeing them in the first place? Overall, I would not recommend this rheumatologist to anyone. If you are looking for a doctor who is willing to take the time to explain things to you and answer your questions, then I suggest you look elsewhere. It's important to have a good relationship with your doctor, and unfortunately, this doctor did not provide that for me.

Not thorough, focuses on my most painful least scary symptom, condescending. I told his nurse(who did his whole oral consult for him) that my pain was a 5-10 at times averaging a 7, that it has brought me to the hospital for pain management several times, his response "you can take nsaids for the pain". Thanks... I would have never thought to take something over the counter for pain for the last 4 years that this has been going on all on my own. Either he doesn't care about a women's pain or he didn't know how severe it was, maybe if he had done his consult himself he would have known. Either way, I would strongly suggest finding another physician. The one positive thing I would say is his nurse and admin were lovely, But if you need a specialist choose another especially if your a women, all he seemed to blame, was sleep, hormones and being a women you know as we get older, at the really old age of 47.
