It has been such a privilege to work with John. I've never met such an experienced and thorough doctor. He is an expert Rheumatologist but he is also incredibly knowledgeable on any medical topic. He is extremely persistent and he will not give up until the correct diagnosis is reached. If there is any suspicion you may have an inflammatory condition then this is the doctor you should see.
