This was my first visit with Dr Lovy and I was not very pleased. I have been to many Rheumatologists in my 70 years and I have never been told the things that he told me about my condition. He would not listen to what I was saying instead he was more interested in making sure he was doing all the talking

I have been seeing Dr. Lovy for a few years now. I find him to be caring and knowledgeable about my disease. Every visit he does a full exam of my joints and takes close to an hour going over my labs, pain level, etc. I hope he continues to practice for many years, as I know I will never find another doctor as thorough as him.

My first contact with Dr Livy was like a breath of fresh air in a diagnostician. He made feel as ease and extremely confident in his skills. My exam was very thorough and he found many things other docs MISSED, that affected my health. Patients should listen carefully because he slip very funny puns into the conversation between patient and doctor while still being very professional. I can't express my thanks for his help in my complex auto-immune diseases & treatment.

Dr. Lovy is an excellent Dr. but the last time I was in his office before he moved...his wife was running the office and she was so rude! She actually argued with me about weather or not I had insurance! I do! It was like something out of a bad movie...she yelled at me and told me to leave the office or she would call the police! I hope she isn't running his office or his practice will surely suffer!
