Those qualities are all the more valuable when dealing with an autoimmune disorder that is not understood intuitively. My previous rheumatologist, now at the U. of Michigan,said he would recommend me to the person he'd like to see if he had R.A. and he made sure I had an appointment with Dr. Dellaripa before he left for Michigan. From the outset (Jan. 2011), I knew I was in the best hands, and I am still sure of that.
