Will let you try a medicine if you want . Good listener. But when comes to accurate diagnosis he is terrible. Just find a good rheumatologist who can help you. Do not waste time.Would not recommend anybody.

I feel as though Dr. Sullivan saved my quality of life back in 2008! He diagnosed me with RA, Osteoporosis, Fibromyalgia, and Lupus after a series of blood test etc, etc! He tried several medications on me and he put me on plaqenil which has been a God Send! He is a great listener and he takes everything in. I highly recommend Dr. Sullivan!

I was referred to Dr. Sullivan by my Neurosurgeon to help me manage pain resulting from arthritis in my spine. He listened well and took time with me to understand my condition and to explain treatment options. It has been a little over two months since my initial visit and I am due for a followup visit in a few weeks. My pain has been managed very well and I am able to carry on most normal activities with little to no pain. I am very pleased and feeling well for the first time in several years.
