I moved to LA & at the time I had RA for 20 years. I had a horrible experience with a new RA doctor that would not & did not listen to me about continuing my RA medications that I had been on for years. Luckily I found Dr Gauthier. He has taken care of me for 12 years now. He has seen me thru the physical & emotional changes of my RA. He is always kind & has listened to me. I cannot be thankful enough for Dr Gauthier & his staff.
