Dr. Arief is truly wonderful! I was bit by a dog in my right hand and needed to see a specialist immediately. She saw me that same day and was able to get treatment to avoid further issues. She’s very kind and personable and really takes her time to make sure you feel well and that all questions are answered. I really appreciated her attentiveness and follow ups to make sure I was healing right. I highly recommend her!

Overall Rating: 5.0 2021-05-02

I needed elbow surgery and she did a fabulous job. I have needed to visit her for injections in my thumb joints as well. She loves cats! We always talk about them. She is just very personal in a natural and has a genuine spirit.  I am following her to her new location for my next round of treatments. I was willing to pay full cash just to keep her as my hand and elbow specialist.  I hope others will enjoy her special skills of that human connection as well as her skills as a surgeon. So many in the medical field miss the whole bedside manner component....... definitely not in her case!
