Amanda is wonderful!! She truly listens, is patient, asks questions and she works hard to better her patients lives!! I was a patient of Amanda's at her previous practice in Chas.! I am so thankful that she has come to this practice where I can see her locally.

Jon Twining, M.D.
I have been a patient of Dr. Twining for almost 20 years. Wouldn’t give a thought to seeing another Rheumatologist- Dr Twining is certainly experienced, helpful, & I consider him “first rate.” I feel fortunate to be Dr Twining’s patient!

Dr. Twining is so caring and he will not stops until he finds an answer to your issue. A truly kind man.
Amanda Robertson, AGPCNP
Amanda has taken the time I needed to discuss my medical problems that link Rheumatology, ENT and Pulmonary to multiple problems. She and I have had a tough situation moving forward due to other set backs that has stalled our progress. I believe we will get to where we want to be. Thank you for everything you have done to date!!

Amanda listens and and attempts to do some investigations to figure out what is truly going on instead of just throwing drug after drug at it with none of them working.
