Rheumatologists who are Physicians - Purcellville, VA

"I first saw Dr. Odula a few years ago when I was in extreme pain and feeling hopeless that the doctors would never discover what was wrong with me. She sent me for bloodwork, and quickly identified that I have rheumatoid arthritis; I willl never forget her compassion during that visit. I was in tears and she took my hands, looked me in the eyes, and said "I will make you feel better". Just 2-3 days later, I had no pain and felt like I had my life back again. She is truly my absolute favorite doctor. She gives you all of the time you need and answers all of your questions and concerns. She details everything you tell her into your record, runs regular tests, and ensures I see my eye doctor several times a year to be sure the medication isn't affecting my eyes and organs. I am so blessed to have been led to Dr. Odutola."

"I see Dr Saba here and at her Reston office. Dr Saba is a wonderful doctor who is very thorough in ordering the necessary tests to ensure a proper diagnosis. She is very good at communicating my issues to me. I have always been treated very well by the office staff. I try to make my appointments first thing in the morning to avoid delays that can occur later in the afternoon. "

" My experience with Dr. Caroline D'Souza and her staff left me feeling that their behavior is unprofessional and careless. On May 7th 2021, I arrived as a new patient, to the Dr. Caroline D'Souza's office. The receptionist searched for my name, and he said: “Your appointment is a tele-appointment.” I asked why I was not informed that I don't need to come to the office. He said: “We left you a voice mail yesterday.” However, I found no voice mail on my phone. I chose to stay in their waiting room and have a tele-appointment from there. The receptionist told me that their Internet connection is not good. I insisted to stay for this tele-appointment, and he had no choice but let Dr. Caroline D'Souza know that I was in their waiting room. Then, I received a text message with a link to join the tele-appointment. I clicked on the link and heard a voice (no video) and the person simply said that Dr. Caroline D'Souza is sick and can't see me. I believe, it was Dr. Caroline D'Souza's nurse. I asked if any other doctor can see me, and immediately got a negative answer. First, I learned that my appointment was converted to a tele-appointment, then, i was told that doctor is sick. Neither nurse or receptionist said “sorry" or offered an apology. Unprofessional and careless. "

"The doctor was pretty good but the staff was horrible. They don't mind making you wait for your office visits, they were rude on the phone, and office practices for getting procedures were horrible. They pretty much don't care about the patient health or well being. Doctor was no help getting them to do there jobs."
