• The doctor even visited me when I was in intensive care after an automobile accident, which had really nothing to do with my autoimmune, but that was very nice of her. She got a message that I was there and came to visit. Very caring, very nice, special person.

• Hello. The doctor was a specialist in rheumatology. Something other than Venice, which is what I was there for. So that was an error in the booking thing. She said she would refer me to someone, a different doctor after our visit who specialized in that. but also in between scheduling, et cetera. I think Venice has been eliminated as the reason for my problems or issues, but that's it.
