Patient Reviews
Apr 05, 2016
Methodical, persistent and compassionate. Extremely knowledgeable. I saw four Rheumatologists, prior. I had five different diagnosis. They were all wrong and many just told me they couldn't help me. Dr. Arvikar narrowed down the possibilities and worked with the insurance company to get me a newly researched treatment and as a result was able to eliminate most of my symptoms allowing a definitive diagnosis and adjusting the treatment. I now have my life back.
