How every match is made
You've already been bounced around enough. Here's exactly what we check, how we check it, and how often — before a single name appears in the table above.
Insurance Verification
Every provider's insurance panel is re-verified the first of each month by calling the office directly — not scraped from a database that's 18 months stale.
Real Availability
We pull scheduling slots directly from each practice's booking system. If it shows March 4th, there is an opening on March 4th. Not a waitlist. Not "call to check."
Verified Reviews
Patient quotes come only from people who booked through Catalyst and attended the appointment. No anonymous internet reviews. No paid placements.
Board Certification
Every listed provider holds current board certification in Rheumatology through the American Board of Internal Medicine, cross-checked against the ABIM registry.
Patient Outcomes
What finding the right doctor actually changes
These are real patients, real conditions, real timelines. Not marketing copy.
I had a referral slip and fifty names on a list. Catalyst told me which three actually accepted my Cigna plan and had openings this month. I booked Dr. Reyes-Moreno in eight minutes.
Natalie Osei
SLE diagnosis, Chicago
Every GP told me my joint pain was stress. Catalyst let me filter by doctors who specialize in seronegative RA. First visit, Dr. Webb ordered the right imaging. I finally have a diagnosis.
Jennifer Callahan
Seronegative RA, Oak Park
The patient quotes under each doctor are real. Not "5 stars, great doctor." Actual descriptions of what the visit was like. That's what helped me choose.
