Excellent rheumatologist . Really knows his field of expertise. He helped my wife who had developed long covid to be able to function like a normal human being again. I highly recommend Doctor Fahey. Very professional staff as well.

Front desk staff too busy gossiping (not conducting important business)to acknowledge you waiting by the window, where you showed up with everything they asked for, on time.
Mr. Fahey doesn't deserve the doctor title. He doesn't perform a proper clinical interview nor exam. He'll also get up and leave you, *on your time & money*, to go talk to someone else, & not for an understandable reason like being urgently called to another room. He'll saunter back in eventually, never finish the intake interview, & never do a proper exam beyond pressing a few places. He'll call in a script for steroids, order labs, & you'll never hear from him again. He makes it crystal clear he doesn't want to know your medical history, nor get to the root of your problem & form a path to greater well being.
I feel ripped off & subjected to medical gaslighting. He's fired, needless to say.

Incompetent nurse, or the fact that Dr. lacks giving the heads up instructing patient must FIRST have labwork before before refills can be called. Leaves patient in the dark of whats going on. Never told '' before we can call refill in, must have labwork done'' Poor protocol!

I've been very pleased with my visits. The front desk staff are organized and friendly. His medical assistant is also very welcoming and quick to respond to nurse messages that are left for her. I like that Dr. Fahey does not rush through his visits, he provides a lot of information, and let's me have control of my treatment. He has great bedside manner!

I found Dr.Fahey to be extremely annoying. He does not talk in terms you can understand. He is very cold and disrespectful. It is almost you are a bother to him and his nurse. She is very rude! If you ask a question and don't I understand Dr.Fahey and his nurse act like it is so exhausting to answer your question. But yet my insurance is helping to pay both of their salary's. You would think that both of them would want the patient to feel comfortable enough to ask questions if they don't understand.

Good balance of science and information. If you want to understand the science, he can bore you to death with the statistics and facts doctors are supposed to know. If you want just the high level and several treatment plans with risk and benefit inforamtion, you can get that also. He lets you guide your treatment. He makes his recommendations and lets you make your choice based on cost, personal goals (pregnancy risk awareness), and likely outcomes. I get morning appointments and get in and out when I expect. I got a 2nd opinion on path of treatment several years ago. The other doctor wanted to put me on the same treatment path, so I stayed with Fahey. The treatments are working and I plan on staying with Fahey unless I move.

Very condescending, and very rude to the patient (me). Acted as if nothing was wrong with me and just prescribed pills and sent me on my way... really didn't listen to me at all.

Dr. Fahey is very thorough and knowledgable. He takes his time to find out what your problem could be. He does required tests to ellimate all possible reasons for your problem. He explains everything in great detail. He doesn't give you drugs to mask the problem because he wants to find out exactly what he is dealing with regarding your problem. I would recommed him to anyone who wants a doctor that listens to what you have to say and follows through with tests that he knows will help him to find out what he needs to know to treat your problem. We are fortunate to have him in our area. I will continue to see him because I know he cares and listens to what you have to say.
