Dr. Cassyanne Aguiar, MD

Worst provider I have ever visited. She was in such a rush to get out of the office. she didn't listen to any of my concerns, showed no concern or empathy and had no follow up. When I needed follow up care she didn't have the knowledge about to do so. I would NOT recommend this provider!

I relate a lot to the other review that was left here about her. I have concerns about the possibility of a connective tissue disorder like HSD or hEDS. Technically hEDS is a genetic disorder but the gene for that form of EDS has not been found and rheumatologists are expected to specialize in connective tissue disorders just like geneticists. She only took a VERY, VERY brief assessment of the hypermobilty in my joints, but when I say this I mean she lifted up my limbs and then said I wasn’t very hypermobile. You all do not know me, but let me assure you by saying I have been naturally flexible even as an infant. And I mean very flexible. Normally docs perform the beighton score to assess hypermobility but she did not do that. She admitted to not being very knowledgeable regarding the condition but it’s frustrating as she continued to give me her admittedly untrained opinion for 45 mins snd actually was telling me unfounded and untrue information. I don’t feel she listened to me well.

Did not listen to or address concerns. I understand her focus is on RJA, but I had no concerns of this condition with my child. Was looking to r/o other possible autoimmune disorders. She did not take other symptoms into consideration. Only did a quick assessment of my 2 yo’s joints and mobility then said “no concern for JRA, so thats good” and stated if she did begin to show symptoms just to bring her back and she would just treat with motrin. I left this appointment feeling robbed and wanting to cry. I even told her I felt as though her focus was on JRA and voiced my concern about other possibilities. What I understand is that other autoimmune diseases are beyond her experience/capabilities. I understand that also, and if this is the case, that is fine... but why wasn’t this addressed to begin with before my appointment? Additionally, in healthcare- it is common courtesy to say “I don’t know, but let me find out for you”. I I just feel I paid for a useless rushed appointment.

Outstanding doctor. Highly recommended for youth with Lupus.
