      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.

      I have been seeing Dr. Fleck for many years and he is by far one of the kindest and most understanding doctors there is. I always am very satisfied with my care!

      Very personable. He spent time reviewing all of the labs, treatment plan, did a thorough exam.

      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.

      Dr. Fleck was amazing. He helped ease my anxious mind. As a parent that's all we can hope for. Hopefully we won't have to make a trip to the rheumatologist again any time soon, but if we do, I look forward to seeing Dr. Fleck again!

      They were all very kind and elaborate, and let me have full control during my visit. They didn't pressure rush me at all, and they took the time to explain and listen to everything I was saying. They were absolutely amazing during my visit and I left feeling much better about my condition!

      Did not listen to concerns and was trying to say it was more of a skin issue which doesn’t explain any of the systemic symptoms that my daughter has been dealing with. He focused in on one symptom and that is it. He didn’t even redo blood work to rule out anything and he also never updated her chart from her last blood work that was outside of the network so I had to message them to get results. He needs to actually listen to his patience and their concerns instead of pushing them in a direction that makes no sense. I am getting a second opinion. She has a history of autoimmune that runs in her family. She has been dealing with this for 2 years and it is not just HS that doesn’t explain the fever the body aches the sore throat or headache.
