Dr. Lavery is brilliant. Although his pragmatism might seem "cold" to some other reviewers, I highly respect it! His medical assistants are warm, patient, and kind. Scheduling "in office" visits may be difficult due to just how busy the office might be due to demand, but they are VERY QUICK with communicating, directing, and answering questions via the patient portal. I am VERY impressed.

Dr Lavery was very understanding and had great knowledge and helped so very much. Left the office with a smile even though I was in pain. Recommend him every time.

Dr. Lavery is the kind of Dr. that won't back down from a challenge. He was my rheumatologist for several years until 1. Insurance changed (growl) and 2. He had front office staff/billing issues- from what I've heard they are gone, unfortunately the good with the bad. But Dr. Lavery is Great! Hope he's back on my Dr. list, soon!

These people (Stephanie) squeezed me in when no other rheam would see me for months. They literally allowed a double Stephanie because I was in such horrific pain. A double booking for a new patient? That never happens. I was in tears on the phone and literaly depressed and scared that the pain had got so bad. Now, i will say..Dr lavery kinda scared me at first. He is straight, to the point, and asks questions very quickly. I thought he was mad at me or something but I now understand that he was basically going through a ton of possible diagnoses in his head and he wants so badly to get answers of what is wrong with you rather than what other docors have simply assumed is wrong with you. Dr Lavery changed my meds appropriately, reran blood tests and ordered a whole bunch of other ones. The skinny Hispanic nurse (sorry, I think that's what's she is) was one of the most compassionate people I ever met and as I broke down in tears from the pain of my physcial exam..I could tell that both dr lavery and the nurse felt bad because of the pain I was in. I left that appointment feeling like I had a very smart doctor who actually is gonna find out what is wrong with me. Also, Mary was very nice especially when I had trouble with copay. Now if you want a doctor to talk and talk yet never get you any answers...go elsewhere. Like I said, Dr Lavery means business.

One word to describe this office is GREAT! The office is new and clean. Wait time is 10-20 minutes. Exisiting patients can be seen the same day if needed. They do labs in the office which is very convienent and I LOVE his staff! Vannessa, Amanda and Brittany are GREAT!

He is highly intelligent and is very skilled and explains diagnosis and treatment plans. Dr. Lavery goes over and beyond any expectations of what a patient should expect from a physician. I have been diagnosed with multiple rheumatological disorders and he has successfully managed keeping my prescription meds to a minimum compared to what other Rheumatologists prescribe. I highly recommend this Doctor to an individual with rheumatology disorders. He is the best. I have also been priviledged to w...

I have been seeing Dr. Lavery for almost 9 years. While I have never been a fan of his abrupt bed-side manner, I have always found him to be caring and sincere. He knows me, what is wrong with me and even remembers things about my family or my past. He always spends all the time I need of him discussing my ailments and I find that he is incredibly thorough. I have referred a dozen friends and neighbors to him.



What we don't talk about is a lot of personal stuff once we're past the niceties which is way fine by me. I don't need a friend, but a really good doctor that will be honest with me and that I can trust to take care of me. I have that with Dr. Lavery.

Dr Lavery fails to properly diagnose time & time again. A Rheumatologist that does not recognize 'trigger-finger,' go figure. Does not regulate medications, checking for synergism, progression and/or effectiveness. Sincere patient concern and care severly lacking. Dr. Lavery would benefit loosing some interest in computer skills and learning how to diagnose his patience and relate on a human level.
