In patients' words
"The best rheum in State College, possibly anywhere. He really knows his stuff, and he always takes the time to explain things to you and listen to your experiences."
— WebMD Care (Review for Dr. Brian Oppermann)"After having been a patient for 7 years at the clinic this doctor recently joined, I was sent a certified letter... stating, 'our office is no longer interested in continuing your rheumatologic care'"
— Vitals (Review for Dr. Kristie M. Pepper)"He told me he was only concerned about 4 kinds of arthritis. Only if I had one of the 4 would he take me as a patient... He had no problem being paid in full when in fact his work up only dealt with 4 of the more than 100 kinds of arthritis."
