This practice seems to be all over Virginia, I found them after my original rheumatologist of…read morealmost 20 years Dr. Rosalia Lomeo retired. No one will ever be a good replacement for her, so I went in with low expectations. So far the Willow Oaks office has been ok, they did change the major treatment, but luckily they didn't do the nightmare scenario of changing everything, or making me start at the beginning again. I'm irritated I have to see a separate pain specialist, pain is part of a rheumatology diagnosis for most, so forcing patients to make separate appointments for chronic pain seems part silly, part taking financial advantage of patients. But I guess this is part of the new chain style of medicine in the U.S. Dr. Lomeo was old fashioned, and treated all symptoms of her specialty, and left specialists for areas outside of her expertise, of which pain is included for ALL rheumatologists, can you tell I miss her yet? The office staff is largely quick and efficient, they do their best to navigate my insurances that try to get out of paying. I admit I prefer dealing with some, who are friendlier. But they're all decent. Seating is comfortable, and appointments are mostly on time, but as with all rheumatologists, you may find they run late because sometimes patients just need more time at their appointments. Have patience, and bring a book just in case. Parking is easy because the office is between free car parks, beware though, because the carpark elevator often breaks down. The infusion center is at the same office, which is convenient. The nurses here are very nice, normal Geri-chairs to lay or sit in. Be prepared to make future appointments well in advance. And they do blood draws here and in the office, which almost makes up for the pain clinic nonsense. So far, the patients that come here are also pretty chill as well. The doctors and PAs are professional, and do try to ensure you have the right protocols. I'm not looking for a cure, just stability and they're getting there. I love Alisha the PA, she's good natured and answers all my questions. Dr. Bodadi is quiet, but thoughtful and seems kind. I've dealt with my diseases since childhood, and was a nurse; so my experiences may be much different than someone else who's looking for a miracle. With the disappearing population of old fashioned practice, that treats the whole person; this office is probably as good as it gets unless you can find a concierge rheumatologist. Don't know about the other offices though.

(My sister, a former rheumatologist, also diagnosed me by looking at my hand.) I was looking for more information about pain management and maintenance, but he was almost nonchalant about my issues. He then ordered a second follow-up visit, which I switched to virtual, in which he told me information that was already clear from the lab results. Those two visits combined added up to a $700 bill, which could have been much less if the doctor had been more judicious and cared at all about the financial burden I would have to take on. I've come away with deep distrust of this practice and their ethics.

I don't usually write reviews, but my experience with ARA has been so bad that I feel compelled to…read moredo so. This review is based on my experiences with the DC/K street office, the phlebotomy (blood draw) lab there and Dr. Shari Diamond. TL;DR: avoid this practice, particularly their DC office and Dr. Shari Diamond, at all costs. As relevant background, I received my graduate degree from a PhD program through a very reputable medical school where I attended the same classes with the medical students. Medical students then went on to clinical rotations at the hospital while my group did lab/research rotations. I have also helped previous employers gain CLIA certification, which is the regulatory standard for the labs that draw your blood as well as labs that process those samples. While I am not an MD, I know more than the average person about how things are supposed to function in these settings. I was referred to Alan Matsumoto at ARA by my rheumatologist in California when I moved to DC. Dr. Matsumoto is very reputable and appears to be at the forefront of research in rheumatology/immunology. My case is, according to my California doc, very alarming and unusual (and, therefore, quite scary). I couldn't get an appointment with Dr. Matsumoto (I'm not sure if he is still at the practice or not) so I ended up seeing Dr. Shari Diamond. I have seen Dr. Diamond four times, with each appointment worse than the last. At my last appointment I tried to have a discussion with Dr. Diamond about her attitude toward me, even trying to smooth things over by saying that I should have come in with written questions to avoid miscommunications because my condition is relatively new (~2 years since onset) and frightening for me and I get very nervous. Her response was imperious and truly awful. She appeared to fake my examination, skimming her hands lightly over the outside of my very heavy, puffy snow boots pretending to check for swelling that she would not have possibly been able to see or feel with the technique she was using, even if I hadn't been wearing the boots. Every time I have tried to tell her my history and relate that to changes I am experiencing with the pain and swelling that are hallmarks of my condition, she has interrupted me and very belligerently told me that any symptoms and elevated inflammatory markers I had in the past are irrelevant and there's nothing wrong with me now. As anyone with an autoimmune disease can attest, this response is antithetical and screams incompetence and/or a mentality that does not belong in any sort of front-line patient care. Even after I told her explicitly that my goal was to figure out what was happening with the progression of my condition, I was not simply seeking symptom relief, I did not need another anti-inflammatory prescription and the only drug that has worked for me so far is prednisone, she was cruel, dismissive and disdainful. At my last appointment, their phlebotomist drew my blood to check my inflammation levels and, I found out from the notes later, for "medication monitoring", even though I wasn't taking prescription medication for my condition. If you have been to a rheumatologist you have almost certainly had blood drawn and you know how that is supposed to work: the phlebotomist asks you to confirm your name, birthdate and perhaps other info. They will often ask you to review your info on the sticker labels before they are applied to the vials of your blood. This is because CLIA regulations require robust processes to ensure sample integrity throughout the process. None of that happened when my blood was drawn at this office. The phlebotomist did not ask me to review any labels or info and, after drawing my blood, walked out of the room with the unlabeled tube, ostensibly to retrieve the labels from a desk outside the door that could not be seen from the room. She was gone for much longer than was necessary for that stated purpose. I have no idea where she went or what she was doing with that vial. Even after that bloodwork showed elevated inflammatory markers, Dr. Diamond's response through a message in the patient portal was to prescribe the anti-inflammatory I had told her I did not want because is not appropriate for my condition and tell me to check back in 2 months. Perhaps I should have shown up to my appointments wearing a suit instead of jeans and sweatshirts which are my usual uniform these days since I no longer work in an office. Perhaps I could have garnered Dr. Diamond's respect by showing up with my degrees hanging around my neck and my W2s stapled to my forehead. Or perhaps she just shouldn't be practicing medicine. I hope that the partners at ARA will endeavor to figure that out.

Let me start by saying my first visit with this doctor was amazing…read more However all interactions after this were not with the doctor and instead with office staff. --- I had to contact the office multiple times for lab and x ray results but dismissed this as a fluke --- For my follow up visit, where I needed to talk about my medication management and current pain levels I was denied access to care due to my need for ADA parking which was limited due to construction and damage in the parking garage. I tried for two weeks to make a complaint to corporate and they have not returned any of my calls to ensure that I have what is needed medically for my care. They couldn't even pretend to resolve it by saying if I pay this unfair fee I can be seen right away ---- I arrived 20 minutes early but was unable to locate handicap-accessible parking to fit my vehicle due to construction and blocked spaces in the nearby garages. While searching for parking, I called the office around 10:00 a.m. to inform them of my situation and ask whether I could still be seen by being worked in or did they want me to reschedule. I was transferred between three different call center representatives before finally connecting with someone. I have attached a photo I took today because I had to return to this same building to see another provider. The spots are still blocked off and not van accessible to allow for access for a person in a wheelchair like my son. By the time I found a parking spot at 10:20 am, I was told not to come in by the call center staff and that I would be charged a no-show fee, despite being on the phone with their call center for over 20 minutes trying to get help. At no point did I attempt to miss the appointment, I was actively trying to attend and communicate with the office because this is important for me to try to get a handle on my own health care. I explicitly asked them to put me through to the office and verify that I could not be seen. I was told no one answered the phone and also that they answered and said no... contradicting what the office manager later said. When the office manager, Jasmine Jackson, contacted me the following day, she stated that the office would have been able to see me had the call center communicated that I was waiting outside, but I was told not to come in by them even though I explicitly asked to be seen multiple times. Jasmine went further to blame me, suggesting that I should have parked in a lot a few blocks away behind a Tiffany's store. I am not familiar with the area, and I chose the two garages nearest the building and then street parking, because I was concerned about my ability to walk farther with my adult son, who has limited mobility and is difficult to push in a wheelchair, especially given my own back and extremity pain that limits my ablity to walk long distances. I also spoke with Kelly in the business office and Stacey in the call center, both of whom said they would follow up with me regarding this issue. Neither has contacted me as promised, demonstrating a continued lack of responsiveness from the office. I am concerned now that I have been abandoned for care because they are prioritizing this no show fee for an appointment I begged to attend as soon as I figured out how to safely get my son and I inside over my actual health status, knowing my medical condition impacts a vulnerable person who relies on my care.
