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.

Inflexible if teensy bit more than 10 min late.
I have two disabilities that prohibit driving myself to appointments. After arranging for driver for a 40 mile trip, and calling in advance while en route, the receptionist refused to let me wait. She said doctor also said no. I was minutes late (not hours) due to unexpected traffic and moving slower than fully abled patients. The waiting room was empty and there were 90 minutes until posted closing time at 4 pm. I was shocked and speechless. Thankfully my driver was still in vicinity.

Dr. John Brittis is a very competent rheumatologist who has been in practice for over 40 years. He has been my doctor for over twenty year and has helped me through some serious flares. It should be noted that infusion services are available on site. The office is conveniently located in Plantation Park.

Staff is horrible
They do not return calls; when I finally got a call through, I was passed around several times; then I called back at least four times-finally an unsympathetic receptionist told me the procedure.

I've had RA for over 20 years and recently moved to Bluffton SC from Philadelphia area. I was concerned about the level of care I would receive in the south but was happily surprised about how awesome he is. I loved the fact that he had already reviewed my file from my previous doctor and truly seemed to care about me and my disease. He listened and answered my questions honestly and short wait times which is very important!!

I was referred to Dr Brittis with fibromyalgia. My doctor told me right up front that rheumatoid Drs no longer treat fibromyalgia but because of inflammation markers in blood work he wanted me to see him. He is very knowledgeable, personable and timely. He did find other markers in my blood work and was able to help me with another condition. Most people who have a bad experience post reviews. We need to start posting the positive ones.

I was referred to Dr,Brittis from another doctor. He told me could not help me, but Did run some lab work.Nobody called me with my results patient portal did not work for me, when I call from my results The receptionist Tina was extremely rude,and not willing to help. Like i was actually wrong for wanting MY test results, and maybe some guidance in to where I should go next for my chronic pain. Got no help with either not really sure why. It saddens me what health care has come to.

On his profile it says he treats Fibromyalgia and my physician referred me to him. 2 seconds into visit he says he does not treat Fibromyalgia. So he runs some blood work of which his office never calls me with results. Collects his $copay and bye bye!!!

I was referred to Dr. Brittis to be checked for a genetic condition. I was in the waiting room for less than 3 minutes and he came out to get me himself. He spent a lot of time asking questions and really listened to my answers. He ordered blood work and said I only needed to come back in if I had positive results--most doctors would have made me come back in no matter what. I really appreciate this kind of practicality, as it's disappearing from doctor's offices. I was very impressed.

Doctor provides excellent care and explains in full detail. I have been to two other rheumatologist in the past five years and this is the only doctor that has helped me with all of my issues. Spends an ample amount of time with each patient and does not make you wait a ridiculous amount of time in his waiting room. I have recommended this doctor to all my family and friends

This DOCTOR is a major jerk. He has no manors, has narcissistic issues, spends less than 10 minutes with me, guesses my weight. I would like to believe he cares about me as a patient ( WRONG ) It's obvious to me his love for money far surpasses his care of treatment. MAYBE IT'S TIME TO RETIRE. It's to bad he's the Only one in Beaufort county.
