I have been going to see Dr. Kivitz for several years. He has tried me on several different biologics for my autoimmune disease. I have gotten very serious side effects from these medications, which isn't his fault. However what is his fault is he refuses to blame those medications for my side effects even though the timing lines up perfectly every time.

I am now in a dangerous situation where my immune system is trashed. He won't answer questions about it and keeps referring me to other doctors on the matter. He is the most robotic person I've ever met with no concern for his patients. You are only a number to him. The only good thing I will say is that the staff at this facility is great. But beware of Dr Kivitz. I'm currently changing doctors to a different facility. Hope this helps, I'm not one to leave bad reviews often.

Dr. Kivitz and his brilliant staff have given me 14 years of living very well with rheumatoid arthritis. Altoona Arthritis and Osteoporosis Center is also a research facility doing clinical trials, so are at the front on treatments for their patients and are successfully treating many related diseases.
