Dr. Kepecs is a very sweet man who takes his time to listen and to explain any issues in detail. He has always been on point with my many health complications. By far, one of the best.

When I first went to Dr. Kepecs he was Rheumatologist #4 for me. The 3 doctors I had been to previously gave me 3 different diagnosis', similar but not all on the same page.One MD was disinterested,one MD was not really listening to what I was saying and questioning my family history. The 3rd MD was borderline crazy I think. By the time I met Dr. Kepecs I was fed-up and diheartened.Not only did he make an accurate diagnosis, he is kind and caring.He actually listned to what I had to say and asked me intelligent questions with regard to my condition.I HIGHLY recommend him. It takes a while to get the consultation appointment, but he is well worth the wait!

Dr. Kepecs is one of a kind. Old school with sitting and taking as much time as needed with each and every patient. Sometimes there is a long wait but all his long time patients know that your turn will come and it won't be rushed. He is great with helping with insurance issues, and he calls back each and every time. His office is completely electronic which makes renewels on medicine pain free.
