I was referred to DAC after a terrible experience with a rheumatologist in Grand Junction (I live in Palisade). I was hesitant because of that prior experience but what a wonderful surprise! I have been a patient of Dr Antolinni for about 5 years now. He is 1 of the kindest most compassionate Dr's I've ever had to pleasure of being seen by. He always listens to my concerns, talks about my pain and is very gentle with his exams.
Not only do I have arthritis I also have autoimmune diseases, have had 5 neck surgeries (fused from C4-T4) and have severe "S" curve scoliosis. He is absolutely what I would call a "unicorn Dr". Meaning nearly impossible to find. Then there is his nurse Casey. She is outstanding! When I call she knows exactly who I am, always asks how I'm doing, remembers details of my life and always goes above & beyond to take care of whatever my needs or concerns are.
I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about this dynamic duo! If you need a rheumy, this is your guy! I drive from Palisade no matter the weather to see him and will until he retires. Thank you Dr Antolinni & Casey! You are life savers!

This is by far the best medical facility I have ever been to. I go to the Lone Tree location. They make everything so easy. I see Dr. Barron and himself and the entire staff are incredible. They are attentive, down to earth and realistic. I've never had an easier time with scheduling, they set everything up for me making it effortless, and if something is set at a date/time that doesn't work for me they are super easy to work with.
Everyone is SO NICE and enjoyable. It takes years to figure out autoimmune conditions, but this place truly has your best interest in mind so you can live your life to its fullest. They will work with you every step of the way. The journey of figuring out autoimmune issues is long and frustrating, but I can confidently say this place has changed my life for the better.

As a 58 yr old woman with Ankylosing Spondylitis I advise others who have it not to go to Dr. Bray. I went for 3 years and didn't feel respected as a patient with this disease. Somehow I was suppose to prove my condition before he would treat me. He ordered imaging and tests, then never reviewed them and still refused to treat me. I was diagnosed many years before, and all was in my past records.
But the office and he kept saying he didn't have them, even though I made sure they did when I started coming 3 years ago. I'm done with Dr. Bray. Don't use this office! I've already been to another Rheumatologist who listens and is getting me treatment.

I have only positive things to say about Dr. Berlingberg, his staff and DAC as a whole. My appointment was on time, the paperwork was quick and easy, and my time with Dr. Berlingberg was productive. He listened and really cared about my concerns.
