“After 10 years of direct, hands-on personal care at Arthritis Treatment Center—I know that I’ve got the “best” team in town!  Dr. Wei is a caring man and his staff is very helpful.  I felt confined because my rheumatoid arthritis was controlling me.  I felt like this is it—I’ve run out of hope.  I decided to participate in a clinical research study…studying a gene transfer drug.  While in the study my ankle flared up and I didn’t know whether it was a direct result of my first injection, but how would I know.  Because of the assurance and great care of my “study nurse” and knowing that I can’t give up has made me overcome any feelings of being a guinea pig.  All of my fear about research studies was thought out and researched prior to participating.  I didn’t have to come off any of my regular medications to start the study—so that was a plus.  If you have an arthritis need—Arthritis Treatment Center is top of the line!” Gary Young, Walkersville, Maryland

Mrs. Ahalt began seeing Dr. Wei in February 2006 with chronic pain and fatigue all over her body but more-so in her knee.  Immediately, Dr. Wei had a pretty good idea of her diagnosis, but followed up with lab work and an MRI before presenting a treatment plan.  It’s been more than 6 months now, and Mrs. Ahalt implores, “anyone who may be feeling as I felt should see Dr. Wei.  Don’t think it’s just a part of getting old, because it just not true.”  Furthermore, she states, “the feeling of being well cared for, the individual attention by the nursing staff, and the perceived attention that I am the only important person in the office is worth everything when coming to the Arthritis Treatment Center.  I still have my bad days, but they do not out-weigh my good days.  Dr. Wei continually monitors my symptoms and disease and is very supportive in how I’m feeling.”
