I was very impressed with Dr Geraldine Navarro. the first time I met her, on my first meeting, , listened, and explained why I needed the medication she prescribed for my condition. like for instance : The : Cymbalta. My previous Rheumatologyst told me that the medication was for Kookoo medicine, so I got offended , and I stoped taking it and stopped seeing the rheumatologist and taking the meds until I got ill. Then I found Dr. Navarro and Dr. Navarro explained to me that Cymbalta is also for Fybromyalgia . I’m thankful that I met Dr. Navarro.. I’m blessed to have her as my new RA doctor now . She is a very caring doctor. She is one of the best Rheumatologist in Southern California.
