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.

She's the best
Dr Knowles listens, she will make eye contact and she coordinated all my results from my many doctors. She is very knowledgeable and kind. She really cares about her patients.

Excellent Doctor
I’ve been seeing Dr Knowles for years. My assorted serious health problems, which includes ME/CFS, are complicated and have required a lot of investigative work. She listens well and is smart, thorough, and very thoughtful. The staff is also great. Highly recommended.

It’s been a while since my visit and I haven’t gone back to her. She was unprofessional uncaring and a little rude. I really suffer badly with ra but she was absolutely no help. I would not recommend her to anyone that needs a good caring helpful doctor to stay away.

At the time of my appt. rheumatoid arthritis had affected my lungs and I was on a downhill spiral. She accepted me as a patient and my appt was made for the following week. Considering I’m an old operating room nurse and not easily impressed by most physicians, she impressed me with her intelligence and aggressive approach to my immediate medical issues. Her explanations were thorough and a treatment plan was made based on normal labs. My appt. lasted for two hours due to my convoluted and extensive medical history. The office staff were friendly and efficient. My appts couldn’t have been better. I’ve seen 3 other rheumatologist over the last 25 years and Dr. Knowles is superior to any other.

It has been a while since I saw Knowles. I feel this review is still very important for people who are considering seeing her. I have an extensive medical history and was sent here because my neurologist said he suspected I had lupus and RA which was terrifying. I called several times to make sure that all of my medical records were in her office before my visit which took months to get in to. She comes in, doesn't make eye contact, mumbles her name and tells me she doesn't have my records even though I had confirmed with her office that they were there. She would not even take the time to go get them. She rushed through the appointment, wouldn't even let me discuss my symptoms and was cold. Then she proceeded to order all of the same tests I had already taken and were in my records. After a years worth of testing with other doctors in anticipation of this visit with Knowles and waiting several months to get in to her I left defeated. I walked out of there, ripped up her labs and ne
