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.

Dr Ghaussy is a compassionate and thorough rheumatologist. He has taken the time to answer my many questions in the office as well as returning calls to me himself. The nurses that work with him are equally kind and responsive. As someone that was very anxious about starting medication, he explained to me how it works, why it is effective and the importance of getting my inflammation levels down. I highly recommend him.

I recently brought a patient to see Dr. Ghaussy and as a healthcare professional I was so impressed with the length of time he spent with the patient, the thoroughness of his review of her medical records, and his physical exam. In this day of modern medicine with time restrictions, you just don’t see this attention to detail anymore. You can tell the doctor’s dedication to his patients! He was very kind and compassionate, and able to diagnose the medical issue after his exam. I would highly recommend this physician!

I was one of Dr. Ghaussy's first patients when he moved to Clyde, NC. He was the only doctor out of several that I visited that correctly diagnosed my illness as Scleroderma. Dr. Ghaussy educated me on the disease and even offered to set up an appointment with a doctor at Duke to confirm his diagnoses. I have now been treated for this illness for 12 years and can only say great things about Dr. Ghaussy. He is respected and loved by his staff, co-workers and patients. Five Stars!!!

I have been seeing Dr. Ghaussy since 2009 and having 5 auto-immune diseases and too many other medical problems to list, 5 spinal surgeries, mild heart attack, gastric bypass and the list goes on...he has been the most caring of all my specialists...listens, genuinely seems to be understanding and open especially since I am so restricted on what can be done. For him being only 2 years older than me...I do respect him a great deal when most of my care team are well over 60 years of age. TY Doc!

Dr. Ghaussy is a professional and personable physician who deeply cares for his patients. I've always been seen within 10-15 minutes of my scheduled visit. He is always friendly and although clearly a very busy physician he is thorough and articulate.

He seems knowledgable. He really tries to be friendly. Sometimes I'm not certain he's listening to me but he usually comes back around before the visit is over and answers my questions. He's very willing to try new medications and find the correct dosage. He, himself, has called me back before. That's fairly rare for a doctor to do that! He gives shots perfectly. No pain and in the precise place. I've seen him at least s dozen times. The only down side is the TREMENDOUS OFFICE WAITING TIME!

I've seen THE BEST and the rest. Had more surgery than most. All my joints are artificial, except one - 3 lumbar surgeries. All due to excessive sports in youth and rheumatoid arth. His eyes teared as he spent nearly 1HR taking my history. If a next day apt. was not available he met me before hrs. His injections were painless 28g needle I think & magical. I told him it felt like he waved a wand over my knee the heat & pain left immediately. Not enough space. Could write 1,000 words. JOHN RICH
