Dr. Kelmenson and the entire staff who interacts with patients are outstanding. I have to confess that I've become somewhat jaded about going to the doctor in general over the past several years, as I've encountered too many who seem to overbook their schedules, which overwhelms the staff and creates an environment of everyone being stressed and trying to rush you through an appointment.Dr. Kelmenson's office and the doctor herself have restored my faith by doing all they can to make the whole process of coming to their office stress free--from the front desk staff and nurses taking their time to schedule you, answer questions, and send reminders, to the time spent with a doctor who listens, asks questions, and really truly seems to want to help get things figured out for you. I guess it might seem like a doctor wanting help patients figure out their issues should just be a given, but I can tell this is definitely not always the case!It's also very convenient to have a Labcorp worker on site for getting labs done all in one place. (Added bonus--every time I've had blood drawn, the Labcorp worker has been excellent!)

Dr. Kelmenson , Tara and all the staff at Rheumatology Care Center are very kind, polite and helpful. Dr. Kelmenson really listens and responds to all of my concerns with any aspect of my health. I am very happy I was referred to her.

After years of struggling with pain and fatigue I finally have a diagnosis. Dr. Kelmenson and the rest of the staff are wonderful, friendly, and caring. They are quick to respond through the portal and are very helpful and detailed. Highly recommend.

If Zero stars was an option I would use it instead. We’ve been trying to find answers for about 4 years now. I’ve been to the neurologist, oncologist/hematologist, orthopedic, and even a cardiologist and they all say something is wrong but they aren’t sure what it is. I’ve got one Doctor trying to name it after me because she’s not sure what it is but knows it’s something.Well, even with a referral from my physician (which he didn’t write it like I’d asked and was very vague, but ok) they wouldn’t see me at this establishment. I was hoping with them being female physicians they would actually listen and care about a patient that does need help finding some answers. At the very least, they could have called the patient and spoke with them or have someone in office do so and see what all is going on. Instead they just denied my referral and didn’t even inform me until I called to check if they had received it.Yes, I understand it said Osteoarthritis arthritis on the referral but it’s hitting every joint, running fevers, crippling fatigue, hurting all over, among other symptoms and I’m only 30. I have been living with this for 5-6 years, I just wanted answers. There’s something is causing it and I’m tired of living in pain. My hunt will continue, very disappointed in this office and how they handled the situation. I will not be recommending them to anyone from the surrounding areas of Alabama and I am asked frequently on suggestions.Also, Some physicians are very vague or don’t believe their patients especially if they are women and we fall though the cracks because they believe it’s all in our head.
