Dr. Atulya Achyut Deodhar, MD

Unless you have a positive blood test or X-ray he will dismiss you although immune dx are clinical bc so much is still unknown. Doesn’t look at your whole history, explain testing results, read your intakes beforehand, and is in and out.

Most dismissive and condescending doctor I've seen in a long time. Barely looked at my joints before making his "diagnosis". He was in the room with me just a few minutes. Told me simultaneously that rheumatology couldn't explain my symptoms and that they were all in my head. Got irate when I asked what specialty I should pursue care with instead, if rheumatology was not the correct place for treatment.

I highly recommend Dr Deodhar for pain of arthtitis. He diagnosed thst I had gout after my local physician just said my extreme pain was probably just part of getting old...in other words...just live with it! He was able to prescribe the correct medication and control my pain. He and his staff treated me in a caring, professional manner.

Possibly the most pompous doctor I have ever met "legend in his own mind.
