I have always received excellent service, the staff is very polite, welcoming, listening to your concerns or even carrying on simple everyday conversation. I travel from Youngstown to see Dr. Hegde, she is so worth it, she truly listens to what you have to say and takes her time with you to explain her course or concerns for treatment.

I have to say from the very first appointment until now Dr Hegde is a very good doctor. she always made sure that I understood everything that we talked about and made sure I didn't have any questions before I left my appointment. I will and do recommend her to anyone I know that is looking for a Rheumatologist they wouldn't ever be disappointed.

Before I saw Dr Hegde I was in bad pain and very concerned that I was going to have to live a life filled with pain. Once she started treatment, I was feeling like a new person in 4 days after the medicine took affect. It was life changing to me.

The My Chart app should have the Cleveland Clinic logo to make it more recognizable. It also had a ton of old information that I tried to delete and update, but that didn't "take," so Dr. Hegde couldn't see which meds I was currently taking and which I had tried to delete. Very confusing. For an in-person visit, I would have had a printout of my current meds to share with the dr. Being able to scan and upload that would have been easier.

Obviously the doctor could not feel my joints and bend them around like she typically does, but that is the only down-side I see to telemedicine in this case.

The video experience for appointments with doctors is good to some degree especially in a time of Covid. But there are times when the doctor needs to look at your joints and flareups in person it's hard with the camera photo
