Dr. Elena Eberle, MD

Dr Eberle has been my rheumatologist for at least 6 years now. I spent most of my childhood as a mystery case at Children's Hospital. They knew I had an array of autoimmune issues but couldn't find a diagnoses. Eberle was my first doctor after I aged out of care at Children's. She was extremely thorough and thoughtful as she took on my case and took the time to fully understand my history and strategize where to go from there. She ran many tests and was able to finally give me a diagnoses for something I had yet to be tested for. She did an amazing job picking up clues in my symptoms and testing me for a very rare disease that I tested positive for. She has continued to give outstanding care ever since. She is a great listener, very thorough in analysis and explanation, and takes all of my concerns seriously. But most of all I have always sensed her genuine concern for my well-being and that she takes a great deal of responsibility in her job to help her patients be well.

I had a very bad experience with Dr. Eberle. Six years ago, she misdiagnosed my condition saying it was fibromyalgia when it was actually cancer. I felt there was something else wrong with me and had her take every blood test to eliminate other diseases spending $620 of my own money beyond healthcare. She obviously didn't check off cancer. Now I am dealing with final stage of cancer at age 69 versus what would have been stage 1 at age 63. I hope she is not misdiagnosing others. Beware and be vigilant!

I felt very comfortable with Dr. Eberle. I met with her for the first time today, as my rheumatologist recently retired. I found her to be warm, caring, and very thorough. I appreciated the fact that she took the time talk with me about the history of my symptoms, and she listened carefully to my answers.

My previous rheumy (at a different practice) finally retired, and so it was a bit of a shock to switch to Dr. Eberle, because she appears so young. However, she has proven to be thorough and caring, while being more comfortable with modern treatments than my older rheumy had been. She listens well, explains well (albeit with a Russian accent), and is very responsive to my concerns. I have been delighted with her care.
