    Dr Piranavan in my opinion is one of the best rheumatologist I've ever seen. I literally left Vanderbilt due to lack of care and effort to find someone who would genuinely consider my needs. He is the first of four rheumatologist that I have seen that has actually helped my condition. He was also the first one that diagnosed correctly. He never rushes me and always listens to all of my concerns and talks through all of the options for care.
