Virtually every medicine that is used by the adult rheumatologist - in the appropriate child, with very careful monitoring - is now used by our experienced pediatric rheumatologists with excellent outcomes. With new biologic therapies, many of them tested at Hospital for Special Surgery, along with physical therapy, the disease can be controlled and children can regain normal function.
My consultation with Dr Fahey went extremely well. His staff was friendly, professional, patient and very knowledgeable. Dr Fahey explained my condition and procedure with clarity and I felt very comfortable with him and look forward to being under his care.
A great experience with a highly professional and thorough routine exam. She has a great attitude and warm demeanor.
Dr. Mecklai is attentive, thorough in her review of your records and examination and thoughtful concerning necessary medications and tests, if any, that may be advisable. I feel I am in very good hands.
