Dr. Daniel J Lamothe Jost, MD

He had NO time for me, had to harass them for my test results and he was very dismissive of my symptoms

This doctor spends a short amount time with his patients. He doesn't listen, and cares very little about his patients. It is sad when you have waited to go to a doctor who just brushed you aside and doesn't even try to find out what is going on with a person.

Not only is Dr. Yost an outstanding doctor, he is also empathetic .

Spent 10 minutes that he made clear he couldn't spare for me. Told me I was imagining symptoms.

I went to Dr. Jost for a second opinion after the first rheumatologist dismissed my RA symptoms as basically just some type of arthritis. Dr. Jost immediately looked at my blood work and listened to me explain my symptoms, did a brief examination and told me I have RA! I was very relieved to finally get an answer, after 3 excruciating months of pain.

I'm finding out things that xrays showed, none of which he ever shared with me. After two years told me to go get a second opinion on coccyx inflammation, but never gave me a first opinion.

I wrote a review recently and wanted to follow up to it. I'm really glad I didn't decide against Jost after my first appointment with him. He is a very good doctor and I'm thankful to have met him. He might be a bit "rough" around the edges but I'm going to keep seeing him. He's helpful and takes the time to investigate complex symptoms. (I still wish his office was a bit more cheerful.)

Dr. Jost is wonderful! It took me a little bit to get used to him but I have quickly learned that he is a caring doctor and goes the extra mile for his patients. And his confidence in his skills gives me confidence that he will help my condition no matter what comes. Many doctors have told me that Dr. Jost is an excellent physician and that's been my experience. On first impression - he's an a$$ - spend some time with him and see him more than once and you will be glad you did. (If you've seen the TV show "House" - Dr. Jost reminds me of Dr. Gregory House. He gives off the impression of being a jerk but he really does care and works hard to properly treat patients. AND he's a very skilled rheumatologist.) I'm glad I didn't dismiss him after the first visit. He's been wonderful to and for me.

First of all the clinic itself is confusing - but the staff expect you to somehow just know their process. While the clinic is named "Boone Clinic" don't be fooled. That is their name but they are not at all affiliated with Boone Hospitals and Clinics. If you ask they will admit this. The check in process was frustrating and confusing. The staff at the clinic as well as in Dr Jost's office appear to be miserable and unhappy. Very off-putting. I had a long wait and don't know why - but I wish they would take a look at the artwork on the walls. They are abstracts of people depressed and or in pain or slumped over giving up. The opposite of inspirational. That mood set me up for a negative experience. I think Dr. Just might be competent but it's hard to tell because he is rather glib. When he discussed my condition he named a disease and said "that's good news!" To which I responded, "really? Do you want to have it?" He seemed to take that well so perhaps that is his… personality. He seemed to show concern and he left twice to check references and consult with another of my doctors. I have no idea if he will follow up. I left even more confused than when I went to him, but he did rule out some things and he even investigated exceedingly rare disorders. I was not impressed with the clinic or his bedside manner but I have not yet ruled him out as a doc. I can imagine him being the way others have commented here. I will follow up later if I see him again.

Seemed very disinterested in helping me with my problem. Aloof and dismissive. Did not have any suggestions for what I should do next to get relief of my symptoms. Once he determined, to his satisfaction that my problem was not rheumatology-related he showed be the door.
