"Dr. Joan Appleyard has been my Rheumatologist for several years. She is always very professional, extremely knowledgeable and caring and has such a happy and friendly personality which is exactly what a patient in pain needs.  She has brought my illness totally under control and I cannot say enough good things about the care she has given me. As in all physician offices, staff has changed through the years but Dr. Appleyard always seems to hire a pleasant group of employees from her nurse to my infusion nurse to the front desk staff, they are very caring individuals who are interested in me as a person.  And, one additional perk is that parking is right at the door and it's free!"

"My name is Tammy Lindsey and I have been a patient of Dr. Aguilar's for over two years now. I think she is a great diagnostician and a compassionate physician. She is very understanding about chronic pain and does everything she can to make sure that I get the medication that I need. I have recommended her to several people and will continue to do so. I think she is the best!"

"After my first office visit with Dr. Joan Appleyard I knew I found a doctor who would be devoted to my well being. Dr. Appleyard truly cares for her patients. She monitors my history of illness and medications to take the most effective treatment plan for me. The entire staff at RAH is always courteous, eager to help and responsive to the needs of their patients. I fully like the partnership we developed."
