    I first met Dr. Yokose when my arthritis was undiagnosed. She identified my condition and after a couple of tries, identified a medicine which I get infused every 4 weeks. It has worked miracles in transforming me from a nonfunctioning individual to one has resumed his full life. I will be [redacted] in June and functioning as I did many years ago. I give her credit for this.

    Dr Chio was wonderful. She saw me right away. She first asked how I was and what was I there for. The she asked me to describe very carefully my condition as I see it. We discussed my history with the condition. She did a careful lengthy evaluation of my feet and hands with a gentle touch She ordered X-rays which I wanted and sent me the results the same day! And the X-ray staff was world class! It was an outstanding visit! I loved it and left very happy and secure that I was in good hands I look forward to future visits with her!

    This was my first visit. Dr. Yokose was wonderful. She listened. I felt very confident in her ability to treat me. I wish that I had found her six months ago.

    She's a very caring and very smart provider. She asked me to give her history, which she was very patient and I explained a lot. And then she, based on that, ordered some tests and she called me back within a couple of days regarding the results. And everyone at Mass General, including Dr. Yokose, I might pronounce her name wrong, but in rheumatology, she and other departments are wonderful. [redacted]
