“From the reception desk, all the support staff, to Dr Haija, I couldn’t have asked for my appointment to go any better! I was greeted as I entered, everyone was so incredible sweet, documentation was very thorough, as well as my medical plan moving forward. The Dr asked me questions no doctor had ever asked me before, he ordered a lot of bloodwork & body scans, & I feel that he listened to everything I said about all my symptoms & my worries. Made me feel comfortable & relieved that a lot of this isn’t all in my head. Lol. I’m feeling very optimistic that he will get to the bottom of what is wrong & a treatment plan to help me feel better. I am so very grateful & appreciate the time he spent with me. Thank you very much! ”

Dr. Haija is very thorough, asks pertinent questions (even if at the moment they may not seem so). He is calm and has amazing bedside manners. Made me feel at ease and I was comforted by his knowledge of my issues. Would highly recommend (I already have!).

I can't say enough about how wonderful this doctor and the entire staff is!! I feel so fortunate to have found him on ZocDoc and am looking forward to my follow up visit when he will go over my labs that conveniently are done right in the office!
November 12, 2025Wendy D.Verified patient
Went for a consultation, hoping to get a comprehensive look at my autoimmune issues by a rheumatologist after years of various symptoms & diagnoses. It seems we are on our way to securing that. Having labs run in the office was a big help.

My experience was great, friendly staff and clean office. Dr. Haija was knowledgeable and professional. He took his time knowing my history and address my chief complaints.
