What Our Patients Say

” I was treated by Bruce Johnson, MD at Northwest Rheumatology Specialists in Elk Grove. His office staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. Dr. Johnson was VERY punctual – I did not sit in the waiting room for a minute over my appointment time and he was even early the first visit.
He performed a thorough evaluation of my symptoms, was very detailed in his explanations as to what I was experiencing and why, and their office even had an in-house lab so I was able to have my bloodwork performed without going to a separate facility. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Bruce Johnson!!!! A++++”

“I love the practice. Dr. Dina is the best, knowledgeable, kind but stern. I have been to several rheumatologists in the past but she prefers to treat with more than a band-aid. She and I differ in somethings and we truly respect one another.
She also, is fully connected to my Internist and Neurologist, which is hard to find.”

“Dr. Josna Haritha is a kind, knowledgeable and prepared physician. She spent a lot of time going over my medical history and was very understanding with my physical disability during the appointment.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a well educated and compassionate rheumatologist.”
