Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Caring Doctor
Dr Hopkins takes time with me each visit and goes over anything that can help me with my health thoroughly discussing any concerns she sees or that I have mentioned. I do not feel rushed in my appointment and I also usually do not have to wait long for her to see me at my scheduled appointment time.

Dr Hopkins review by female patient July 2022
Dr Hopkins is very caring and spends time listening to your areas of concern. She is very helpful discussing prescriptions, supplements, exercise that would be helpful, and also reviews with you other dr opinions to better coordinate care. I consider myself fortunate to have her as a doctor to review hand and other joint problems and sjogrens issues.

A Very Fine Physician and Person
Dr. Hopkins is a very experienced, knowledgeable rheumatologist who truly cares about her patients. She never rushes through her appointments, so be prepared to wait. It's worth it to have her undivided attention, her willingness to listen to her patients' concerns, and her careful consideration of your condition and best possible treatment(s).

Dr Hopkins far exceeds all other doctors in her caring for her patients. She genuinely shows her compassion for her patients who may be suffering. She takes as much time as needed to insure her patients fully understand her explanations and are comfortable with their visit. She is well up to date on therapies, even alternative ones as well as the latest in pharmaceuticals.

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Hopkins, is one of the best doctors I have seen. She is very knowledgeable in her field. I have been a patient of hers for about 4 years and could not imagine having another doctor. My RA condition has improved dramatically thanks to her ability to balance the medications she prescribes based on need. And best of all she is kind, caring and dedicated to her patients.

Years of great care
My RA has been managed by Dr. Hopkins since I was diagnosed 5 years ago. Her office staff is great and her office is efficiently run. She has always empowered me to be active in making choices and giving feedback about my care and medications. She has become a valued part of my healthcare team.

I'm afraid I would bore you with another review about Dr. Hopkins, attention to not only my health but my individual circumstance and her amazing expertise and thoughtful treatment. In a time when I have had doctors I felt didn't listen or show enough curiosity about my symptoms, Dr. Hopkins always explores my symptoms to be sure we are doing all we can to control my Psoriatic Arthritis . I cannot say enough good things about her care and that of her totally dedicated staff.

Dr. Hopkins is very caring and helpful and I value her opinions. I was not feeling well on the day of my last appointment, so I opted for a televisit and asked about a new procedure that might help me with the Neuropathy in my feet and hands. After speaking with her, I decided to have the procedure. I know I can trust her opinions.

I've been a patient of Dr. Hopkins for about 4 years now. I moved to Tennessee last year and would travel back to Florida anytime to see her versus seeing someone else. She has done more for me than any other doctor I have been to for Rheumatology. I hope I never have to switch to a different doctor, because she takes the time to listen and makes every effort to improve your situation. I'm so glad I found her.
