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.

Took time to listen
It was a long time getting in, but the wait was worth the care I got. He listened and showed a lot of concern. He gave me a treatment plan and was there throughout the implementations. He slowly removed medications which had previously been prescribed.

Simply the Best
Telehealth
Dr. Ader is an exceptional rheumatologist recommended to me by a trusted physician over a decade ago. His compassionate listening, honest advice, and dedication to finding the best treatment have made him invaluable. Dr. Ader's positivity and commitment to patient care shine through in every appointment. Despite recent disruptions, I eagerly await his return to practice, knowing I couldn't entrust my care to anyone else. Dr. Ader isn't just a doctor; he's a beacon of excellence and compassion. Simply put, he's the best.

Rejected referral
Missed appointment, had an emergency. Couldn't get through on the phone, flat would not take my call. It took my provider finally getting a hold of someone only to be told they denied my referral request. Well guys, after a year waiting for that answer, or any, for that matter, I don't want your services anyways. I can see by your reviews you have some work to do

He never treated me with the medication I know I can take. Been there done that. He does not like his patients to disagree with his opinion and recommendations. He did charged me for non- compliance. My son called the office wanting to know what that meant. My son was told because I missed appointment. He never gave medication for my RA and Autoimmune disease. I was always in chronic pain.

Above and beyond my expectations. He was pleasant and did a thorough exam, took time to give detailed explanations, took my symptoms and concerns seriously, appropriate blood work and ex-rays, and a followup appointment--and even hard-copy handouts for exercises and advice for pain mitigation. He was the antithesis of my disappointing appointment with Dr. Dingman.

In my experience, Dr.Ader does not listen, asks questions that you just answered less than 2 minutes before, is condescending, refuses to listen,and always thinks he is right even when his own notes contradicts what he is claiming. Additionally, he notates things in your record/portal that not only did not happen but also were not discussed. He also is unwilling to discuss any treatment other that what he thinks is right regardless of what any other specialist thinks. I am personally getting a referral to another rheumatologist from my primary.

I have been with Dr Ader since he came to Idaho after Dr Dingman up and left all her paitients without a way to get their medications and Remicade treatments. DR Ader took me in and got certified for the treatments to help us out. I THINK THE WORLD OF HIM!!!! I have no problem referring him out and already have.

Not sure why all the negative reviews. I met with him today and found him refreshing. He took me seriously, asked appropriate questions, didn't like to just hear himself talk and seemed very knowledgeable. I would recommend him and I'm happy to have him as my new Rheumatologist and feel very confident in his care.

Dr Ader himself is okay . . . not great, but okay. I'd just to watch out for him to decide what he thinks your problem is and then doggedly stick to that diagnosis, no matter what you or any other doctors say or think. But it's his staff -- office and nursing -- where I finally drew the line. Dr Ader employs the most rude, uncaring, pretentious people you'd ever hope to not meet. As a customer and a patient, I'd rather deal with fast food workers at a drive up window.

The front desk receptionists are very rude. Talking about personal lives and apparently it's difficult to get back to the exam room on potluck day. Very disappointed in this unprofessional office and staff.

He was rushed during my appointments and did not finish his physical exam of palpating my painful spots. Gave me no solutions once I told him I did not want to use his drugs. The receptionist was so mean to me when I showed up 5 minutes late because I missed the wrong turn off on the freeway and she threatened to have to make me reschedule my appointment
