Dr. Carolyn Pace is a superior doctor. She is the only Rheumatologist I would consider seeing. She is an excellent diagnostician, answers my questions thoughtfully, and treats me with respect. It’s great having her as my doctor because she is knowledgeable and fully versed in the latest information. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Pace is a wonderful practitioner, but her office and staff are completely inept.

Dr. Pace is wonderful. She was extremely thorough, went over all my history and symptoms, and was actually able pinpoint the cause of my pain. I've seen so many doctors over the past 20 years, and none of them were able to figure out what was causing my pain. A lot of them didn't take it seriously, or acted like it wasn't possible for me to be having such extreme pain. Dr. Pace not only believed me, but really understood the toll that constant chronic pain has on a person. I have a complicated case, with multiple diagnoses, and she was the first doctor in 20 years who was able to figure out what they were, and then actually treat them and make them better. I highly recommend her.

With Carolyn you never which personality will greet you in the exam room! In two years she never did a complete exam. When told me I needed to start scheduling two appointments a month I left her practice! She wanted me to come in for pain treatments and separately fir My RA. I told her I thought we were boing both at the same time. She said nope. I said bye!

Dr. Pace was my 1st and only RA doc. I just love her. so far I have been a nightmare to treat but she never gives up. I understand I am one of the lucky ones because I have never had to go thru having a bad Rheumy. All I can say is that I am lucky my PCP referred me to Dr. Pace. She takes the time, she knows her stuff and I have the utmost trust that she will eventually be able to get me back to as normal as I am going to be! Her office staff .... awesome.... her MA Glenda ...wonderful :)

Very caring. Great listener. Yes, there is usually a long wait at the office, but that's because she spends as much time with each patient as they need, and I appreciate that. Her staff is always friendly as well.

Auto-immune issues are very hard to deal with, much less diagnose. Dr. Pace works very hard to NOT over medicate and to improve quality of life. I don't know what I would do with out her.
