West County Rheumatology's Online Review Report Card

For a virtual visit everything was great. Questions answered N/A

I see Laura Sanderson and always feel like i know what exactly is going on with my body when i leave. I love how thorough this practice is. Highly recommend!

Appreciate that Dr. Kamat and Allison have been so very helpful and always listen to what is being said.

Lauren is very compassionate NP. She listens and she gives me options on my treatment and has me make the decision on which way I want to go. The office staff are very friendly. I live two hours away, but it is worth coming to west county rheumatology.

Staff is warm, friendly, understanding and accommodating. Dr. Kamat listens and she works with you in planning your care. Dr. Kamat is the greatest!

When I read some of the other reviews I was concerned it was just another doctor that didn't care. It was just the opposite! I was so thrilled with the care Dr Kamat and the PA Scottie. I had Lyme disease years ago that devastated my life with pain. But they have gone beyond what other doctors do. I have hope now. The PA Scottie knows exactly what to look for, then the entire team reviews your file. Dr Kamat comes in after the PA and reviews with you. She is very good, thus her time is valuable. West County Rheumatology is the best!

Dr Komat and staff are very warm and welcoming. I was her patient prior to my accident which led to complications upon complications which are out of the normal protocol for medical history. Working tediously with different kind of medicines, she was able to help me move again with less pain and inflammation. Thankful for finding her. P.s. I have had other Rheumatology doctors in past and at hospitals but do not compare. P.s.s. I recently convinced my beautiful wife to consult with Dr Komat. She was thinking that she was crazy due to multiple medical issues. Dr Komat diagnosed her with sjrogrens disease with the explanation that she is not crazy and it is all part of the disease. LOL

All my questions answered

I chose this Rheumatologist due to them having the shortest waiting period for an appointment (which I probably should not have taken as a good sign). They ran several tests. Some of the results did not match what my previous results were from my general doctor, dermatologist and neurologist (yet, my other results from the other specialists correlated with each other) When I questioned this, they simply told me their labs were better. I then spoke to Stephanie to schedule a new appointment, when said she noticed on my chart that I had made an appointment with another Rheumatologist. She stated if I saw any other Rheumatologist, they would refuse to see me. When I questioned why, she said because, "That is how Dr. Kamat chooses to run her practice. She feels like if your seeking second opinions, then there's just a loss of trust between the provider and the patient. She wants her patients to have full faith in her and her practice. And if that's the case, then she doesn't feel it's the best fit anymore." I have never heard a doctor's office say this before. That is a huge red flag for me. If any doctor refuses to see me because I want a second opinion, I will never see that doctor again.

Dr Kamat & Lauren are professional. Questions are answered. Nurses @ Infusion are outstanding. My experience going to all is excellent. I have recommended Dr Kamat to several of my family members & friends. The best!
