  7. Terrible , terrible front desk girls and it’s true , they won’t tey to figure out and bill your insurance because it’s simply much easier to charge you cash or credit card. It’s called ‘ laziness ‘. The dr. Was ok but not as caring as I’d …

  8. Listened to me. Explained what he was doing and what treatments he planned. I am very impressed with his knowledge and his compassion for my pain and discomfort. I know I am being treated by a true professional

  9. Arizona Arthritis Clinic and all of the staff are amazing!! I felt like they really listened to my concerns and really wanted to help. After struggling for too long to get a diagnosis elsewhere, I finally have hope that I can get better.

  10. Everyone has been very nice in the office and very helpful and responsive, as this all new to me and it is trial and error right now, as we get to the bottom of what my needs will be moving forward. I am thankful they have been kind and helpful, with all my worries and questions.

  11. Dr did not listen, attempted to put me on medication that I cannot take because of the steroids I take, which we had a very long discussion about. Doctor was more interested in trying to re-diagnose me then treating the disease we already know I have.

  12. i have heard very good reviews of DR Al-Khoudari. We did not have symptoms that required his diagnosis, but he was very thorough in reviewing our case.

  16. Dr. Amer Al-Khoudari has worked wonders on two nagging issues I had – one with a joint issue in my left big toe and in my left knee. As a result of his diagnoses and therapeutic solution on these two unrelated maladies, I am as good as new.

  17. I truly appreciate the fact that Dr. Al-Khoudari was so honest and straightforward about my diagnosis and the prognosis. Thank you all for your patience and great work ethic.

  18. This Doctor is horrible. He doesn’t listen and waits to react to damage before preactively treating a previously diagnosed disease. I suffered for 4 months until this Doctor finally prescribed a treatment. Due to the extreme swelling, …

  19. Dr. Al-Khoudari takes time with you as a patient and a person. If he doesn’t have an answer to your problem he sends you to someone who specializes in that field. It gives me confidence I am in good hands. Sheila Tharl

  22. Waste of time. Dr is in a hurry and not helpful. Front desk girl needs a personality and look at people not the computer when talking to people. She gave me the wrong directions to the office. The whole experience was bad.

  23. Dr. Al-Khoudari diagnosed me with RA but has failed to treat me. He gave me my first injection in office without testing me for TB first, which is required. Then they submitted to my insurance wrong and now I’m not able to continue my …
