So disappointed.
Rheumatologists aren't easy to find in the Valley, and most have negative patient reviews. I tried to make an apt with Dr Pace and was informed that she only opens her books a few times a year to schedule new patients, and that I'd have to put my name on a waiting list to be called back in 6 weeks.
6 weeks came and went, so I called back and was informed that now Dr Pace is taking leave and not opening her books to new patients at all (I get it, things happen, but how about some communication? You did just ask me to wait 6 weeks and now you leave me hanging).
I explained my situation to the receptionist on the phone, that I really need to see a new dr, and that I'd narrowed her down to being the dr I wanted to see for my RA. Was there anything she could do? Could she please talk to the dr and make an exception in my case?
She said she'd ask and call me back. Wait for it... Nope, several days later and no call back.
