Although only a patient for about 7 years myself, I accompanied my husband to his appointments at UVA's rheumatology clinic from about 1998 to 2022. Service and care have been consistently excellent for all those years. We thank Dr. Lewis and all the staff for jobs well done. (In other news, these surveys are redundant.)
