I am a new patient ( I was referred by a friend who goes to Dr.Hussain ) And he is very good and very thorough, Dr. Haussain actually cares about his patient and is very attentive, Dr. Haussain listen to all my concerns, and he knew I was a little anxious about what is going on with my health, Dr.Haussain explain in detail of the reasoning, this and that is happening,I trust his judgement, on how to proceed with treatment. I would highly recommend Dr.Haussain to anyone needing a excellent rheumatologist Dr. He is very thorough in ordering labs. MRI etc : and he reviews every test while you are in the room and goes through each one with a explanation,,,??

I first started seeing Dr Hussain because he was the only rheumatologist who took my insurance. It was the worst office I was ever at but I could not leave because I was very sick with psoriatic arthritis. Since Dr Hussain changed his staff and moved I love them now! I believe the one staff member who was the main problem no longer works there. So now reports get sent, prescriptions get written and faxed, referrals get completed, even Dr Hussain is constantly in a much better mood! Thank goodness someone took the initiative to get rid of a lazy nasty employee!
