Dr. Yaseen has been amazing. She always takes the time to ask me a lot of questions to assess my health. She answers all of my questions no matter how much time it takes. Dr. Yaseen stays updated on the recent research on my disease and offers great insights into what I can expect. She has pointed me to the research and information available through the Vasculitis Foundation to help me and my family. Another thing that is so important to me is that if I message her, she responds very quickly.

I wish I lived closer so I could see Dr. Yaseen all the time as my primary rheumatologist. I believe her recommendations have enabled me to keep the vision in my right eye.

I was on vacation in New Hampshire when I videoconferenced with Dr Yaseen. This was converted from a face-to-face appointment that I had in Cleveland scheduled for the same date and time. I was told that I would have to wait until May 2024 if I wanted a face-to-face appointment with Dr. Yaseen, so I switched to a videoconference instead. This was the first time I had used a videoconference.
