Michele took the time necessary to hear everything I had to say, did a thorough exam, and was generous with recommendations to things I could be doing to help my pain in the meantime while waiting for a diagnosis. I cannot recommend Michele Cerra enough. Her calm demeanor and sense of humor made a stressful appointment so much better than I anticipated.

My wife has been a patient with Salem Rheum for a year. She is absolutely happy with this Doctor…read moreabove all the others she has visited. He is an older gentleman that runs his office with a great staff. They still do medical records the old way. So lots of paper. He still carries the the little black bag. An old tile doctor with a knowledge base and experience that we have not been able to find elsewhere. He is kind and considerate of his patients. He actually spends time listening and answering concerns. Most doctors today are in and out within 5 mins and you are left with more questions than answers. But not this doctor! He is great! He is no nonsense and will tell you like it is. When we leave his office we are truly glad we came. If you are looking for a really great doctor that cares about his patients then Dr Simble is the one! If you are looking for the type of doctors you find in the clinics around Winston Salem, that forget you the moment they leave the room, then Dr Simble would not be a good match for you. We recommend Salem Rheum

It is very rare for me to rave about a doctor. But I am old fashioned in my views of doctors. I…read morewant them to not only know their stuff but know me as well. Much like doctors did so long ago. Today doctors are worried about seeing as many people as they can in order to meet the financial obligations they now face. It makes it harder for doctors to be one on one with people. Dr Semble is old fashioned. His office is not computerized and his staff are very professional and personable. Dr Semble even carries the old black bag and dresses in a starched white lab coat. He conducts his practice like he knows you. For some people this may not be what you are used to. But when you are patient suffering from arthritis, he is the doctor you need. He is straight forward and does not push meds. Like I said not everyone's best option. But I highly recommend him

The reception and doctoral staff…read morewent above, and beyond to make sure that our concerns were addressed with informative answers & we left our visit feeling assured in our medical decisions. The environment was well taken care of and I would be likely to recommend this location to family and friends! My one, and only complaint, (which was possibly out of their control) was the time in which we needed to wait to be seen for an appointment. In specialty care, this is often the case if the concern is not life-threatening, but we did have to wait 2 1/2 months for an appointment slot. So -- if you need is time-sensitive, I'd recommend to speak with their scheduling team as soon as possible!

When I requested support for additional remote work days--something his office had previously provided--he accused me of faking my need, which was both hurtful and unprofessional. On several occasions, instead of listening to my concerns, he told me to "just find a new doctor" if I didn't like how he practices. I left his office in tears more than once before deciding to stop seeing him altogether. He does not take the time to listen to patients' needs or collaborate on treatment plans, and he shows little concern when patients raise questions about costs or payment. Patients deserve a provider who respects their input and works with them, not against them.

Dr Chaudhary is wonderful along with his staff. Everyone puts you at ease. I only saw Dr Chaudhary…read moretwice, because we found the chronic issues I am having aren't due to arthritis or an autoimmune disease. But, he was the one who put me on the path to find out what was happening. I am very grateful for that. He called after hours to tell me my test results and who he was referring me to. He has a great bedside manner, kind, caring and a great sense of humor. His whole office was wonderful.

I had a very disappointing experience with Dr. Kabir's care for my Psoriatic Arthritis…read more I was originally diagnosed and started on Enbrel by Dr. Bettner and was responding very well to treatment. After being transferred to Dr. Kabir, my diagnosis and treatment plan were repeatedly questioned despite obvious improvement on the medication. Instead of continuing the care plan that was already working, I felt dismissed and unsupported throughout the entire process. When I lost insurance temporarily, I was told I would be helped with samples and patient assistance paperwork, but there was very little follow-through. Calls and portal messages often went unanswered, and I repeatedly had to chase down basic information myself. At one point, I only received a response after physically going into the office and asking to speak with someone. The lack of communication and delays in handling paperwork ultimately contributed to me going without medication for months and experiencing a major flare of both joint symptoms and psoriasis. To make things worse, my prior authorization for Enbrel was submitted under psoriasis only rather than Psoriatic Arthritis, which led to an insurance denial and even more delays in care. Managing a chronic autoimmune disease is hard enough without feeling like you have to fight your own doctor's office for help. I ultimately had to seek care elsewhere because I no longer trusted that my treatment was being handled appropriately.

Unfortunately, I do not have the blood markers for RA but Dr Bettner understood that 20% of RA patients don't have those markers. It's called seronegative. Dr. Kabir said that she needed me to come off the biologic so she could see my symptoms. Basically, telling me to my face that she not only doesn't believe me but doesn't believe her previous partner. On top of it all, in my records she made it sound like I'm doctor shopping so now a new practice won't take me. It's sad when the medical field doesn't trust women, it's disgusting when it's a woman doctor.

This is not a review I write lightly, as I rarely write unflattering reviews. However, when they…read moreare deserved, I am not shy about sharing my experience to inform others. This is a "popularly referred practice." Perhaps they are popular because of the volume of clients that they service. Still, the office is old, smelly, and overcrowded with clients in the parking lot and the lobby, and there are long waits. Their phone and in-person customer service causes people to slip through the cracks. If I could give zero stars, I would. After waiting months for an appointment, I was forced to leave crying profusely due to the harsh treatment and unprofessional bedside manner of Dr. Ramachandran, PCP at Greensboro Medical Associates. Avoid him and this office! I am disabled and was 3 minutes late, stuck in their overcrowded parking lot in an argument with another patient who had blocked my car in, and I couldn't get my walking equipment out of my back seat (despite arriving 10 minutes early). I made it into the office flustered and explained to the front desk, but that made no difference to the doctor. Dr. Ramachandran had made up his mind about me because I had already canceled a previous appointment due to a COVID-19-positive status and resulting complications (excuse me for following CDC guidelines!). The "kicker" (and gut punch) was his demeanor. He came into the room without introducing himself, with no attempt at seeming remotely interested in being there, and said, "Why are you here," in a flat tone. Confused, I repeated the question because I knew I had constantly communicated with his staff about my needs; he became exasperated and then specifically asked what was wrong with me. That's when I knew something was not right. I wondered if he was okay, and he said he could refer me to his P.A., but he didn't think he and I "would be a good fit." Mind you, he said this with minimal time in the room, little contact with me, and with the most disgusted look of disdain on his face, I began to cry. Being from the BIPOC community and now disabled, I have been on the receiving end of that demeanor and look, although very far and few times in between. I couldn't leave the room fast enough (and have a walking impediment). I went, crying, to the reception and asked that it be noted that I do not want Dr. Ramachandran to have anything else to do with my file or anyone else at Greensboro Medical Associates. The office did not correctly handle the cancellation of my initial appointment due to COVID-19, and I am unsure if that caused the doctor's justification of his treatment of me. Regardless, I am not satisfied with the communication breakdown, his egregious behavior toward me, and the lack of empathy from the medical office. I would NEVER recommend this office to anyone.

I'v been a patient of GSO Medical Associates for 20 years, and have consistently received excellent…read morecare from each provider I've seen. There are a few complaints in reviews here about the age of the office & condition of lobby bathroom. Yes, the furniture in waiting area is older; it is also well built and is still sturdy. I'm more interested in the higher quality care, than the age of lobby chairs. There is only one bathroom in the lobby area, and it is used by the adjoining lab, so it is, at times, not perfect. A "please clean up after yourself" sign might be helpful, or simply let the lab know the bathroom needs attention. Exam rooms are modern, well equipped, and always clean. Providers are all skilled, caring and compassionate. Insurance companies are not dictating your care here. Providers will of course find med's. For you covered by your insurance company, but they will also work hard to appeal denials when you truly need brand name or med's. Not on your formulary. Office staff are great; I've never had any billing errors. I do suggest arriving a few minutes early, as sometimes there is a line to get checked in; it is a busy a practice! I highly recommend.
