Thank you and your staff for making me feel comfortable.

The bad reviews on Google are true. Find another Rheumatologist and DO NOT start Consentyx with Dr. Basma Al Nahlawi or Kayal Medical Group. Starting a biologic with this practice has been a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. When I call, no one answers (unless I select the option for making an appointment.) When I leave messages, no one ever calls me back. I’ve been going for over 6 months now and I’ve never met the Dr in person. We’ve had one Telehealth call so far, for which she reschedule several times and then was an hour late when we did meet. The nurse practitioner gave me my first two doses and promised me they had back up Consentyx doses at the office if I had any trouble and needed an emergency dose at anytime. So far the Dr.’s office has been out of the medication every time I’ve needed an emergency dose. The Dr’s office sent my prescription to a specialty pharmacy without telling me - they told me it went to my pharmacy, and didn’t tell me until 4 weeks later that it actually went to a specialty pharmacy of their choosing, after I had been inquiring with both my pharmacy and the Dr.’s office for the past 4 weeks. I’m now 3 days past when I was supposed to take my 4th dose and after many phone calls and an office visit there’s still no solution so far. Find a different Dr and I different medical practice.

Dr A is amazing. So is the front and back office staff. I started seeing her two years ago and when I started staying her, I had no energy. It wasn’t a lot of pain. My inflammation marker was so high that it was putting strain on my heart and lungs. Then she has regulated my medication. I am mobile and have energy to do things with my friends and family. And even travel a little bit words can’t describe how grateful I am to have her as my Dr.

Diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and then told me they couldn’t treat my fibromyalgia, even though they are listed as treating fibromyalgia in their website. Rheumatologist said she’d be sharing my records with my physician the day of my appointment. She didn’t. My primary care physician then requested they share my recent records three times and they didn’t. When I called them, they told me they’d received no requests to share my records but they would share them that day. Several days later, I talk on the phone with my physician. Guess who still hasn’t sent my records? Don’t waste your time here.
