Deya Obaidat, MD

I love the staff and the Dr. I'm sad to hear that he will be leaving. I enjoy learning about my condition and how to prevention it.

I was a little more comfortable with him this time

I do not like that so many rheumatologists go and come. We're constantly changing doctors, which seems to interrupt care. It would be nice to get one to stay.

Everyone was really nice and accommodating

The dr did not listen or ask enough questions. When discussing someone's weight and a solution, questions should be asked to find out the patients previous knowledge and experience. One should not assume the person has been overweight their entire life. I don't appreciate being spoken to like I'm a lazy idiot. I do not feel like the appointment was helpful at all. I did not gain any new information or solutions that help. It was recommended that I do cardio and light weight lifting ...which I cannot do because of 4 spinal fusions in the last four years. One of which was a very extensive lumbar fusion only done a year ago. I did what was recommended the first time and exercised in the water for six weeks. that significantly increased nerve pain in the lower back legs and buttocks. It also caused migraines from swimming creating shoulder and neck tension. I cannot walk very far due to the lower back issues. I cannot work because of my back issues and am on disability. The dr said push through the pain because exercise is painful at first. I have extensive experience in exercise previous to my injuries .
