I started going to this clinic before 2000. I had been having some issues and nobody could figure…read moreout what the problem was. I went here in hopes of finding some answers and solutions. I was initially seen by Dr. Kevin Kempf and after various tests, x-rays, etc he was finally able to diagnose my condition. Unfortunately, Dr. Kempf moved on to his own office and my insurance didn't allow me to follow him. However, Dr. John Huff took over my case and was a godsend. I was under his care until he retired last year. At that time he sold his practice to Dr. Fernando Silva. After Dr. Silva took over, I assumed he would want to review my case on my first trip in to see him. However, he let his PA see me. Ok, well he will see me on my second trip. No. Again, he let his PA see me. He finally saw me on my third trip but he was less than interested in my treatment. I continued to stay with this office due to the infusion nurse Mary. She was awesome. Unfortunately, 2020 has brought us the pandemic and things went crazy. The night before my March infusion, Mary called to let me know that Dr. Silva was not letting any patients come to the offices for treatment. He was handling everything by phone. That's great, except you can't get an infusion over the phone! They made no plans on how they were going to take care of their infusion patients. Basically, they said "take care of yourself"! Then they had the nerve this week to call and ask if I needed an appointment. What a joke they are! Fortunately, I was able to get in to see Dr. Kempf in March and have happily been with him ever since. A review on his office will be posted soon. If you have need of a great rheumatologist, please stay away from Dr. Silva!

I moved from CA to TX and was nervous about starting up with a new rheumatologist. My PCP referred…read moreme to Dr. Silva and it's the best thing that could've happened for my health. I have history of Lupus Nephritis, and for once in a very long time it is being managed appropriately. Truly, I have never felt better! We're a great team, because let's be real, if you don't put in the effort as well, you'll never get better. I am finally off of prednisone and get better each time I see him. He is so professional, kind and he truly cares. He makes sure you understand everything before you leave. He doesn't rush your care and leaves plenty of time for questions. His office staff has also always been very kind to me. I thank God for bringing me to TX and to this wonderful Dr.

Dr. Wickersham is phenomenally compassionate and competent. He has managed the diagnosis I came to…read morehim with. As I experienced new and worsening symptoms, he has quickly ran comprehensive labs and I k ow have another diagnosis. We are working through a plan of attack to tackle the conditions that are attacking my body.

Dr. Julio Beras Matos is an exceptional rheumatologist, to say the least. I spent seven years…read moresuffering from debilitating symptoms that were overlooked or dismissed as mere anxiety. I first met Dr. Beras Matos in May 2022 for a new patient consultation. He was incredibly patient and took the time to truly listen as I explained my medical history and the symptoms I had been experiencing for the previous seven years, symptoms that progressively worsened with each passing year. After performing lab work and a thorough physical assessment, he told me, "I believe you have systemic lupus." At the time, it was a devastating diagnosis to receive, but I was also relieved and deeply grateful to finally have answers and, more importantly, to finally have a physician who believed me instead of dismissing my symptoms once again. Over the last four years, Dr. Beras Matos has guided me through this lupus journey, and to say it has been tumultuous would be an understatement. He has always taken the time to sit and listen to me. There have been many tearful moments, and his compassion as a physician reflects the kind of person he truly is. He has always allowed me to actively participate in my treatment plan and respected my hesitations regarding certain medications, including azathioprine, methotrexate, Benlysta, and Saphnelo. He gave me the time and space to process difficult decisions and revisit treatment options when my symptoms worsened. He has truly exhausted every tool in his rheumatology arsenal to help treat my systemic lupus and chronic pleurisy. When I hoped to become pregnant, he transitioned me to azathioprine. When Benlysta failed to control my symptoms, he moved on to Saphnelo. When azathioprine was no longer effective, he started methotrexate. During my lupus flares, he has consistently accommodated me, making time to call me or see me urgently in clinic to help get my symptoms under control with steroids. Dr. Beras Matos is clearly passionate about rheumatology and autoimmune disease. He is eager to stay informed on emerging research and future treatments currently being studied in clinical trials that may one day improve the lives of his patients. He has been a constant guiding force throughout my illness, someone I know I can turn to when lupus fails me, someone who will help me search for answers and solutions. From 2022 to 2024, my lupus became so severe that I was unable to work. Today, I am able to work full-time as a nurse while also pursuing my education to become a nurse practitioner. I was able to plan my wedding and get married. I truly feel like I have my life back. It may not be the same life I had before lupus, but it is a life filled with far more gratitude for the good days and far more hope for what lies ahead. I remain hopeful about the research being done in systemic lupus erythematosus and the new therapies currently in clinical trials that may soon become FDA approved. And I know Dr. Beras Matos will be among the first to learn about them so he can continue providing his patients with more treatment options and a better quality of life. Systemic lupus can be a devastating diagnosis, as I learned in 2022. But four years later, I have learned that when you have a great rheumatologist by your side, it becomes far less frightening because you face it together, as a team.

This doctor was a bigger part of my life than she will ever know. She took away a lot of my health…read morethat I will never get back. Due to having Akylosing Spondylitis (diagnosed by my new rheumatologist) that can never be reversed I will never get my old body back from when I started at her office. She sent me to physical therapy for some time which was going ok but I still wasn't getting much better so she sent me to a CHIROPRACTOR! $70 every week. Chiropractor did nothing absolutely nothing. That's when I decided to leave and see a new rheumatoid doctor and he immediately diagnosed me with Akylosing Spondylitis. Unfortunately Akylosing Spondylitis cannot be reversed so I can't get back the time and pain. Please save yourself the time pain and money.

Avoid this Dr. At all cost! Nothing but a holistic medicine quack. Makes you go through all these…read morereferrals they confirm u need to be on medication but she refuses to fill em. Has you in pain for over two weeks because she says eating right is all u have to do. Eating right to point yes, but when your own body is attacking you and neuro said you need steriods she refuses the recommendation of another Dr. But she is quick to get your money that is for sure! This Dr. Is only credited on paper'diploma' in practice she is a quack!! Staff is incompetent behind a lunatic! -Reported to Texas Board of medicine for unethical treatment and patient denial of records which is a HIPPA violation.

This place is amazing. They have helped me so much. when I have to reschedule they are so helpful.read more

I would not recommend this place to anyone trying to feel better! They are only worried about if…read moreyou are trying to get disability. I had to tell them several times that was not my intention. The NP for EMILY PINEDA is condescending, and it should be noted the walls are thin so YES, we can hear when you go to the next room and talk bad about "US" the patients! I have it on recording and reporting it! They should tell you when making the appt is you need to know EXACT time frames of how long symptoms last and what triggers it. I'm sorry but for someone who has to get up and still function and provide, I sometimes don't not have time to sit and dwell! Which apparently to the NP meant " I don't know anything about my symptoms or what I'm talking about." However, Dr. Pineda then walked in the room and said because "I was there" they would proceed with a blood work panel. WOW! How lucky am I! This place is a JOKE! And they know it, I called to reschedule my follow up appointment and that's when the lady asked "do you plan to return" Even she knows this place is a joke and major RED FLAG as I have never been asked that right away when trying to reschedule an appointment. So I took that as a sign and said actually no I wont be. They instantly deactivated my account and said I had until end of day to get my medical records from the portal, and they WOULD NOT send to my PCP. Luckily, I downloaded them before as the account is now deactivated but still left without an explanation of what these mean or even an apology. Don't waste your time here if your goal is to feel better and have your quality of life back! Because you won't get it!
