In my years with autoimmune disease including rare issues, Dr. Hager is the best Dr. I have ever known. It just doesn't get any better. Her common sense, ability to listen, knowledge, willingness to research rare issues, and ability to be honest without arrogance yet, with kindness and consideration, are all truly top in the medical field.

I've been seeing Dr. Hager a few years now. She is a caring doctor who listens to your concern who always answers promptly. Her help led me on a path to get my RA well under control and change my life. If you are looking for a Rheumatologist, she's the best. I followed her from her previous practice and am glad she is with BJC now. The office staff and assistants at this office are wonderful, too. It is as pleasant of an experience as a doctors visit can be.
