I started seeing Dr. Saketkoo seven years ago for Scleroderma. She was the first physician to treat my condition aggressively enough to restore my quality of life. She is very thorough. She always gives you her undivided attention and time. I've never met a physician more dedicated to her job and patients. She is well worth the wait to see.

I've seen other Rheumatologist in the past. They have been either too busy to be thorough in my office visits or not concerned with my overall health needs. Dr. Lesley Saketkoo always gives me the time and specialized care that my condition requires. She and her staff at Tulane Medical Center have consistently been supportive when it comes to request and/or information that I've needed. I don't live in New Orleans and I drive over an hour for my office visits because I'm thankful that I'm her patient. I have and will always recommend Dr. Lesley Saketkoo to those in need of a good Rheumatologist.

Dr. Saketoo down played serious side effects caused by prescribed medicine. She lacks empathy and concern for my well being as a patient. With all of her credentials, I cannot trust Dr. Saketoo's opinions
