GENEVA, Mo. — History was made Wednesday morning when Jennifer Ellis called a rheumatology clinic and was offered an appointment for Thursday afternoon.
The Squeaky Joints Rheumatology Clinic is well known for its state-of-the-art facilities and is often able to diagnose patients within a matter of weeks. Ellis shared that she only called the clinic once, and that call resulted in her appointment. She’s had her bothersome symptoms for the last six months and is confident that her new rheumatologist, Dr. Ryann, will waste no time in finding the cause.
Most of the clinic’s patients are seen within six weeks, and even that is a stunning achievement. Dr. Ryann attributes this world record to the (almost excessive) number of physicians and nurses employed there. In fact, the clinic has had to decline many new applicants.
Additionally, he credits the clinic’s dedication to updating its medical equipment regularly. The clinic refreshes its facilities every two years in order to provide the highest-quality equipment for high-quality care. Clinic staff are particularly focused on the accessibility needs of their patients, many of whom use mobility aids and require exam tables with adjustable height.
The Squeaky Wheel was able to interview Ellis before she had to fill out her new patient questionnaires online. “This whole process has been so efficient and easy!” she gushed. “The team at The Squeaky Joints Rheumatology Clinic has already earned my respect for their understanding receptionist and ease of preparing for my appointment!”
She also shared a letter from her health insurance company stating that the clinic’s services were preapproved and would be fully covered.
