Dunne James, MD Rheumatologist

About ten months ago, I got sick.
I didn’t have a flu. I wasn’t sneezing. But something was wrong — usually possessing endless energy, I was suddenly so tired, I could barely function. I’ve always been a busy thing with multiple projects on the go, i’ve always had a tendency to bounce off the walls and having left a very demanding position only a few months prior, when I sat down with someone to explain — «I was tired. Yes… I work a lot. But this is different. This is not normal tired» — most doctors raised an eyebrow & chalked it up to stress.
For four months — stress, it was stress. Even though I had since taken my dream job? I was stressed. Even when I had been sleeping/​eating the best I had in years? Nope… It was still stress. When I started losing my hair & memory? Stress.
I felt like I was going crazy.
When I managed to get an appointment with Dr. Dunne, everything changed. For the first time, I was looked at not like some high maintenance, hypochondriac workaholic but treated like a real person, who REALLY knew something was wrong with her body.
It’s an ongoing process. We’ve found some answers but there are still a few to go. Dr. Dunne is covering every base imaginable, and doing so with such compassion and matter of factness that I count my lucky stars I landed here.
This isn’t just a tip of the hat five stars. This is a life changer 5 star status. I have lucked upon two wonderful doctor’s this year and cannot thank them enough. I’m honesty not sure where I would have ended up in walk-​in clinic ping pong.
I owe this man my current ability to be upright. So Dr. Dunne thank you for listing. Thank you for exploring every avenue. Thank you for assuring me that there is an answer, and convincing me we’ll find it. Just — thank you.
If you find yourself referred here, you are in the most exceptional of hands.
