Found Dr. Kivitz's focus more related to his personal agenda with research then providing quality patient care. Makes patient feel they are filling out paper work in regards to their plan of care, but actually his research. When addressing concern/question with Dr. Kivitz, he is quick to dismiss the question to point of being condescending. Staff without name tags on to disclose role. Staff offended when ask their name or position. Staff sitting around eating chips and drinking. Did not see one staff member/provider washing hands or practicing good hand hygiene. No gloves. Did see Angie, PA one visit and she was very thorough. Dr. Kivitz needs to focus first on his patient's care, then ask patient if they are interested in helping him with his research. His behavior is inappropriate and basically just rude. Please take my review to heart and find another doctor. As a health care professional myself, I would not recommend Dr. Kivitz. Basically felt like a specimen for his research.

Dr Kivitz is very knowledgeable and tries to find solutions for what ails you. Very nice bedside manner. Treats me and my husband with respect. I'm very satisfied with Dr Kivitz as my Rheumatologist.

Dr. Kivitz has very poor bedside manners. He does not listen to patient concerns. He actually argued with me about how I was feeling--like he would know! I've tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I have gotten nowhere with my pain or with a diagnosis after four visits.

He is very kknowlegeable ,after you check in it takes awhile to see the Dr., and he does want you to do alot of clincal testing on new drugs.

Dr Kivitz is more concerned about getting you into his "clinical trial studies" than he is anything else. Sometimes you have to wait a very long time and then you see a PA.

Not so sure about this guy. Went to another RD and I was over medicated. Sometimes I think he is more interested in his study programs than his patients.
