“Caring and understanding rheumatologist”
I initially saw Dr Chapman in 2018 after my internist did lab work confirming rheumatoid arthritis. At my first visit, Dr Chapman was extremely thorough and kind. She did a full work up to determine and confirm my diagnosis. The appointment wasn’t rushed. I felt that she truly wanted to get to know me and that my issues were her top priority. She explained things to me in a way that was easy to understand. I highly recommend her to all!
