I still cannot believe how much time he spent in consultation with me! Very acurate, very detailed, but in layman's language. This was the BEST Dr appointment experience I have ever had and I am 65 yrs old!

I have been seeing Dr. Dreyfus for 13 years for Lupus. He is excellent. Cares about more than your physical problems. Listens and takes into consideration everything I share. My opinion and feelings count with this doctor, and that is a very rare quality you find these days among physicians. I was referred to him by another caring doctor. I consider myself lucky to be his patient.

I have been seeing Dr. Dreyfus for almost 4 years. He is THE doctor to see for Fibromyalgia sufferers. He is extremely patient and kind. He is obviously highly intelligent, but never makes you feel as though he is talking down to you. I look forward to seeing him every 12 weeks!

I have seen Dr. Dreyfus from 1986-2007. He is the greatest. I moved to a different state and still drove 600 miles 1 way to see him til I can find another doc for my Rheumatoid Arthritis. I would recomend him to anyone....
