Jacob Aelion's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Aelion read the medical papers that were forwarded to him (I was referred to him). He explained what my problem was & that there wasn't much that he could do except help relieve the pain (no cure as I had 3 previous back surgeries & probably no one else would). I also told him I didn't want to be dependent on pain pills like I have been taking. He did refer me to WT B&J for a nerve block ( that's another story so far - having problems there). I almost fell asleep in the main waiting area at The Arthritis Clinic (over 1 hr.).

First off the staff was forced to wear everything but body armor for fear of the evil covid. That cannot make for a pleasant work environment. Second, Dr. Aelion was rude from the beginning. Cocky, arrogant, and cranky. He immediately took issue with my not being covid vaccinated which is none of his business. Then he did not even ask questions or attempt to figure out my issue.

Very rude & insulting man. Because I have tattoos this doctor said that's what was causing my bent fingers, that I probably had hepatitis c... I give plasma 2 times a week for 2 years, how would I have hep c

Doesn’t want to do his job.

After reading all reviews I do hope Dr. Aelion has improved. I want a doctor close to home here in Jackson that is at the top of their field.

He walked in and talked down to me the whole time when I was asking questions. Was misdiagnosed with “Jock Itch” and had to see another doctor for them to culture “Jock Itch” to be told its Staph. After he wouldn't look at it. Was told im to young for the symptoms I was Showing.

WE FIND DR. AELION TO BE A VERY GOOD, COMPETENT DR. HE TAKES TIME TALKING WITH US. ANSWERS ALL QUESTIONS IN A WAY, WE CAN UNDERSTAND. VERY FRIENDLY AND INTERESTING TO TALK TOO. WE FEEL HE IS THE BEST DR. FOR MY HUSBAND'S CARE.

I have been a patient of Dr. Aleion since he was at UT Memphis nearly 30 years ago. I drive about 70 miles for his care. Prior to Dr. Aelion, I saw multiple Rheumatologist who were either incompetent or just did not care, before finding him. He literally saved my life by mitigating my intense pain from Ankylosing Spondylitis, which was so bad that I honestly considered suicide. He is a great doctor.

I have been under the care of Dr. Aelion for nearly 20 years. He stopped the progression of my RA by putting me on biologic meds. I have been in remission for many years. He and his staff are courteous and efficient. I'd recommend him to anyone with RA.

Beyond rude. Tossed my lab report on table and suggested I see a dermatologist. My PCP sent me to him because that lab report said my ANA test was positive and I have other symptoms of lupus. Why wouldn't he at least do his own test? He wouldn't even look at the sores in my ears & nose but said "it's probably psoriasis." Also said "if your hand was so swollen that we couldn't see your knuckles then we could say you have Lupus." He shouldn't be allowed to practice. He certainly didn't earn my $50
