Uconn Medical Group-Rheumatology

"this office is just like every office that accepts appointments and peoples money and makes people wait months to get in and then doesn’t give them answers doesn’t call people back. not a surprise. i wouldn’t recommend this office to anyone i know"

"Dr. Traverse (Rheumatologist) & Dr. Nina Carely (Primary Care) were amazing and is the full reason for this review! Sadly, they're no longer employed with UCONN."

"If there were a 0 star rating, he would get that. Dr. Mandhadi doesn't listen to you and doesn't care if you are in pain. I have Lyme disease and fibromyalgia and my previous rheumatologist left UCONN so they set me up with this guy. I am in an increasingly amount of pain recently so I went to see him. I spend 30 minutes with his PA explaining everything to her. Then he comes in, doesn't even do a physical exam, stays at the far end of the room leaning casually against counter and tells me to just take more ibuprofen... how much I ask (as I am already taking 3,000 mg a day)?? He tells me to take 4,000-5,000 mg a day everyday as a long term solution. Anyone know what happens if you take that much ibuprofen long term? Look it up.. serious liver damage. Of course I know this and asked about increasing my current pain medication instead. He then tells me that if I want medications, I have to talk to my primary care physician... even though it's medication my previous rheumatologist prescribed. If I needed my PC to do this, I would have gone to see her. Is this guy even a real doctor?"

"I was a patient there 3 years ago. From getting a referral set up, having my blood work analysed, and getting my first appointment... One star. I called multiple times to set something up, but was told they would call me back. Then, they told me I had to restart the process after they failed to make an appointment within 6 months. I fought back and they eventually made my appointment. Then, after diagnosis and treatment began, I was having flare-ups and major concerns about medications, and I was refused an appointment outside of my scheduled follow-up, and was talked to as though it was my fault I was having issues. I found a new doctor after that."

"Dr. Traverse is a fantastic doctor. Very good listener and he really cares about your conditions. He spends a good amount of time with you and it's always a short time in the waiting room too."
