    Dr Fleck was very professional had great a personality. Was not rushed. He answered every question and concern we had. Explained everything in terms that we completely understood. Hopefully we don’t have to see him again. But if you’re in need of a rheumatologist for your child, I highly recommend Dr. Fleck.

    Dustin Fleck has been a great doctor for my child. He listened to our concerns and came up with a game plan about three years ago. And since then, my son has been pain-free and is enjoying his life.

    Dr. Fleck listened to our concerns and eased my fears as a mom sitting there waiting on potentially life altering answers for my teen son. He showed us the imagining as he saw it and explained his professional experience and opinion of what we were seeing. He was supportive and listened and addressed my specific fears. He was wonderful and I appreciate him so much- more than he will probably ever know.
