Arthritis
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and long-term damage if left untreated. It often affects the hands, wrists, and knees but can involve other organs like the heart, lungs, or eyes. With early diagnosis and personalized treatment, including medication, lifestyle changes, and holistic care, RA symptoms can be effectively managed. Learn more about RA on our YouTube channel and from Dr. Girnita’s book Thriving with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic autoimmune condition that combines joint inflammation with the skin symptoms of psoriasis. It causes pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints, often affecting the fingers, toes, spine, and larger joints, leading to potential joint damage if untreated.
Psoriatic arthritis can also cause fatigue, eye inflammation, and nail changes. Our practice has diagnosed and treated hundreds of patients with PsA.
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory arthritis primarily affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Over time, AS can cause the vertebrae to fuse, resulting in a loss of spinal flexibility and a hunched posture. It may also affect other joints, the eyes (uveitis), and, rarely, the heart or lungs.
Early diagnosis and a tailored treatment plan, including medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments, are essential to managing symptoms, reducing inflammation, and preserving mobility.
Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory condition that causes widespread pain and stiffness, particularly in the shoulders, neck, and hips.
It typically affects adults over 50 and is often worse in the morning or after periods of inactivity. PMR may be associated with giant cell arteritis (temporal arteritis), a more severe condition that affects blood vessels.
Bursitis and tendonitis are common inflammatory conditions affecting the soft tissues around joints. Bursitis occurs when the small, fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion bones, tendons, and muscles near joints become inflamed, often causing pain, swelling, and limited movement.
Tendonitis, on the other hand, is the inflammation or irritation of a tendon, the fibrous tissue that connects muscle to bone, leading to pain and stiffness, especially with movement. Both conditions can result from repetitive motions, overuse, injury, or aging.
Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to sudden and severe pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness, often in the big toe. It can affect other joints and, if left untreated, may lead to chronic joint damage and kidney issues.
Managing gout involves a combination of medication, lifestyle changes, and a tailored diet to lower uric acid levels and prevent flare-ups.
For a comprehensive guide to understanding and managing gout, check out Dr. Girnita’s book The Complete Gout Management and Nutrition Guide, which includes information on nutrition, treatment options, and practical tips for living well with gout.
Pseudogout, or calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD), is arthritis caused by the joints’ buildup of calcium pyrophosphate crystals.
This condition often mimics gout, with sudden episodes of joint pain, swelling, and redness, commonly affecting the knees, wrists, and shoulders. Unlike gout, pseudogout is not linked to uric acid but to calcium crystal deposits.
It is more common in older adults and may be associated with other conditions like osteoarthritis or metabolic disorders.
Adult-Onset Still’s Disease (AOSD) is a rare inflammatory condition characterized by high fevers, joint pain, and a distinctive salmon-colored rash that often comes and goes. It is an autoinflammatory disease and may involve other symptoms, such as sore throat, muscle pain, and swollen lymph nodes.
In severe cases, AOSD can affect internal organs, including the liver, spleen, and heart, leading to complications like pericarditis or pleuritis.
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of connective tissue disorders that affect the skin, joints, and blood vessel walls.
People with EDS often have hyper-elastic skin, joint hypermobility, and a tendency to bruise easily. The condition can lead to joint dislocations, chronic pain, and internal bleeding due to fragile blood vessels.
There are different types of EDS, each with varying degrees of severity. Diagnosis is typically made through clinical evaluation and genetic testing, which can help identify specific genetic mutations associated with the condition. Our clinic offers comprehensive genetic testing to help diagnose EDS.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive difficulties, often referred to as ‘fibro fog.’
The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but it is thought to involve abnormal processing of pain signals in the brain and nervous system.
People with fibromyalgia may experience heightened sensitivity to pain, muscle stiffness, headaches, and digestive issues. A holistic, patient-centered approach is essential for improving symptoms and enhancing quality of life.
Autoimmune Diseases
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
Lupus (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus – SLE)is a chronic autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue, causing inflammation and damage to various organs.
It can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, and other organs, leading to a wide range of symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes, and fever. Lupus can range from mild to severe and requires ongoing management to prevent flare-ups and complications.
Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) is a rare autoimmune disorder that combines features of several connective tissue diseases, including lupus, scleroderma, and polymyositis. It is characterized by joint pain, muscle weakness, skin changes, and internal organ involvement, particularly affecting the lungs, heart, and kidneys.
MCTD occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, leading to inflammation and damage. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to manage symptoms and prevent complications.
Scleroderma, or systemic sclerosis, is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes the skin and connective tissues to harden and tighten. It occurs when the body’s immune system attacks its tissues, leading to fibrosis (scarring) and inflammation.
Scleroderma can affect the skin, blood vessels, muscles, and internal organs such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, and digestive system.
Symptoms vary widely, but common signs include thickening and tightening of the skin, joint pain, Raynaud’s phenomenon (where fingers and toes turn white or blue in response to cold), and difficulty swallowing.
Sjögren’s disease is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks the moisture-producing glands, leading to dry mouth, dry eyes, and difficulty swallowing.
It can also affect other body parts, including the joints, skin, kidneys, and lungs. Common symptoms include fatigue, joint pain, and inflammation. Learn more on our YouTube channel, which has helped millions worldwide.
Vasculitis is a group of autoimmune diseases that cause inflammation of the blood vessels, leading to damage in various organs and tissues. The inflammation can restrict blood flow, resulting in tissue damage and organ dysfunction.
Symptoms vary depending on the type of vasculitis but may include fever, fatigue, weight loss, muscle and joint pain, skin rashes, and in severe cases, organ damage.
Myositis, or inflammatory myositis, refers to a group of rare autoimmune diseases that cause inflammation and weakness in the muscles. Symptoms may include muscle pain, weakness, difficulty swallowing, and fatigue. The most common types are polymyositis, dermatomyositis, and necrotizing autoimmune myopathy (NAM).
- Polymyositis primarily affects the muscles closest to the trunk, such as the hips, thighs, shoulders, and upper arms, causing muscle weakness, pain, and fatigue.
- Dermatomyositis shares similar symptoms but also causes a distinctive skin rash, typically on the face, neck, chest, and back. This rash, along with muscle weakness, is a hallmark of the condition.
- Necrotizing Autoimmune Myopathy (NAM) is a more severe form of myositis, characterized by rapid muscle weakness and significant muscle damage.
Relapsing Polychondritis (RP) is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation and damage to the cartilage in the body. It primarily affects cartilage in areas such as the ears, nose, and joints but can also impact the respiratory system, eyes, and blood vessels.
The condition is characterized by flare-ups of pain, swelling, and redness, often followed by periods of remission. Common symptoms include ear pain, nose deformities (such as a saddle nose), joint pain, and difficulty breathing if the airway is affected.
Uveitis is inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye, which can affect one or both eyes. It can lead to pain, redness, sensitivity to light, blurred vision, and, in severe cases, permanent vision loss if left untreated.
Infections, injuries, or autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or ankylosing spondylitis can cause uveitis. Uveitis is an emergency, and you need to see an eye specialist. Rheumatologists treat the autoimmune causes of uveitis.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We appreciate deeply your trust! We wish you the best of luck with your health!
Dr. Girnita is extremely kind and thorough. I feel really grateful to have her as a resource with some complex health issues I face. Also her Assistant Darren is kind too and made the onboarding process simple for me. If you are having difficult health concerns and are afraid some autoimmune issue is happening, you will be in good hands with Dr. Girnita! Her evaluation is incredibly thoughtful and intentional.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! We appreciate your support !!!
Dr. Garnita is exceptional in every way! I have been a Registered Nurse for over 40 years and she was easily able to address my concerns about Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus. Her office staff is exceptional as well by setting up the telemedicine conference.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! We are happy to support our patients!
Dr. Girnita actually listens and cares for her patients. This is so rare now! She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in treating autoimmune issues. My case was particularly complex, but she took the time to take a thorough history and really reviewed all my symptoms and labs. My appointment was not rushed and I could feel the genuine compassion she has. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone who has had a difficult time getting a diagnosis or treatment plan.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! We are here to support you in any way we can !
We appreciate the kind words!
Dr. G is extremely bright, and her intake is thorough. She is a clear communicator, and pleasant to interact with. I trust that she stays current on the best known rheumatological practices. Additionally, Dr. G offered me great nutrition/lifestyle advice that helped me manage my condition. Her assistant is also very good—whenever I’ve needed something, both he and Dr. G responded swiftly and effectively.
Response from the owner:Thank you so so much! We are so happy to help you!
Dr Girnita is a Godsend! I am so happy I found her on YouTube. I’ve been experiencing intermittent pain on my lower right rear back since 11/23 that none of the doctors from UCI and multiple Urgent Care visits can figure out. The xray, CT scan were negative and while PT helped for other things, the primary reason for being referred to PT was not resolved.
I ended up finding an in-network Rheumatologist who ordered a blood panel and the results showed I had antibodies SS-A and SS-B which meant I had Sjögren’s Syndrome. The treatment were either taking Hydroxychloroquine or Medrol pak (steroids). At this point, I wanted a 2nd opinion and that’s when I decided to reach out to Dr Girnita.
Here are the reasons why I was happy with my consultation with her and why I highly recommend her:
* She is VERY thorough. She spent 60 minutes with me to really understand what was going on. She already reviewed the online form I filled out, but she asked me to describe how and what happened from the very first time I felt the pain to make sure we are not missing anything. She also reviewed each and every line item from the lab results which no doctor these days even take the time to review with patients.
* The wait time to get an appointment is a few days versus months. I could not believe I could get an appointment in 2 days rather than 3 or 4 months.
* She asks and welcomes questions at the end of the appointment.
* She doesn’t jump the gun to write a prescription. After finding out the hard way that an antibiotics that I took back in the 90s caused my tendonitis, I am really hesitant taking meds without understanding the long term side effects. I appreciate that Dr Girnita educates patients about supplements and what could be done to improve my condition.
Thank you Dr Grinita!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much.!!!!
Dr. Girnita has helped me so much! She is very kind, patient, and caring. She has made a huge positive impact on my life with the top care she has provided. I would recommend her to friends and family always and am grateful for finding her.
Response from the owner:thank you!!!
I am HLA B27 positive, for 50 years have periodic 'arthritis' in bilateral joints, generally relatively low level but occasionally higher level pain. After yet another physician who knew little about HLA B27, I found Dr Girnita who prescribed Yusimry, a cost effective Humira biosimilar. After a few months my hips bursa improved and I am again able to be active. A very good result, thank you Dr Girnita.
Response from the owner:Thank you!
I cannot recommend Dr. Girnita enough! She has an incredible ability to take complex rheumatological conditions and explain them in a way that’s easy to understand. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, she personalizes treatment plans with multiple options, and encourages a doctor-patient relationship to foster continued work, treatment and improvement. Her thoroughness, compassion, and expertise make every consultation feel reassuring and productive. And the willingness to work with your other doctors and specialists helps to encourage a more complete medicla experience
Response from the owner:Thank you so much!!!!
I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Girnita on several cases and she has always gone above and beyond for my patients. She is very compassionate, very knowledgeable, and has amazing bedside manner. She has been able to help both myself and my patients with complex cases, and has done so with great expertise and knowledge. I highly recommend her! Thank you for being such a valuable resource for our practice!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words!!!
I would definitely recommend Dr. Girnita. She saw one of my patients in consult for a new rheum diagnosis. Dr. Girnita is very accessible, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and affordable. The appointment was scheduled in a very timely manner. She created a treatment plan which met my patient's needs. The patient felt heard, and was impressed with Dr. Girnita, and was very grateful to be seen so quickly.
Response from the owner:Thank you so so much for the kind words and appreciation! We are happy to support your patients! Dr Girnita is always dedicated to her patients!
I have had the pleasure of referring my patients to Dr. Grinita. My experiences have been nothing short of excellent. She is very thorough and practices evidence-based medicine. Highly recommended.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Dr Arthur, it is a pleasure to help and serve your patients! Always here!!!
I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Girnita on several complicated patient cases, not only is her bedside manner full of compassion- she has went above and beyond to aide in expanding my own knowledge and expertise and has been an invaluable resource in aiding my patients. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:The k you so much Sierra! A pleasure to serve your patients that don’t have access to rheumatologist for months!!!!
Dr. Girnita is knowledgeable, caring and thorough! I'm a family physician and had a new patient who suffered for years without an accurate diagnosis, meanwhile deteriorating without any answers ... that is, until he established care with me as his new PCP, and I consulted Dr. Girnita for her expert advice. She reviewed my note and summary as well as prior hospital and specialist records. Her assistant was able to get me scheduled within a week. At our initial virtual visit, Dr. Girnita clearly explained the differential diagnoses and recommended the necessary labs. She anticipated everything! I was able to support my patient as he waited to establish care with a local rheumatologist. My patient and I both appreciated Dr. Girnita's deep knowledge and timely access. What an incredible service for my patient when referrals to specialists are usually taking 3+ months. I highly recommend seeking out Dr. Girnita's expertise and humanistic care for complex cases that stump other rheumatologists!
Response from the owner:Thank you so so much for all your support!
Dr. Girnita is knowledgable and willing to spend time listening to me and answering all the questions I have. She's well prepared before my appointment to review all my history and blood work results. She provided me a thorough explanation of my medical situation and blood work results by going through all the items in the report. She also allowed me to think through any questions I have to make full use of the time booked. In addition, she's responsive and very caring. I'm very glad that I was referred to Dr. Girnita for my health issue.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much for your review! we highly appreciate it!
I cannot express how helpful, compassionate and thorough Dr Girnita's consultation has been. I've gone from fear and confusion to a solid plan for dealing with psoriatic arthritis.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your support!!!
Dr. Girnita has helped me immensely. She has the knowledge, education and experience to properly diagnose and then set a plan of action to relieve pain and promote healing.
She is very thoughtful, kind and is a great listener. She also makes superior recommendations for places I can go to gain even more knowledge on my condition.
I highly recommend Dr. Girnita for anybody looking for help around rheumatoid arthritis and related conditions.

Dr. Diana Girnita is one of the most thorough and thoughtful doctors I've seen. She was able to think of and find new ways of treating the symptoms/maladies that I've been suffering with for years. I went to Baylor, Mt. Sinai, Weil Cornell just to name a few over the last 15 years, and Dr. Girnita is better than all the MD/PhDs that I saw prior. She will continue working with you until you solve the problem together, instead of blaming you, or saying it's all in your head, or just dropping off completely. She is compassionate and kind and very good at her job. I can't recommend her enough.
Response from the owner:Ohh!!! Thank you so much for your support
Dr. Diana Girnita was very nice and did a wonderfully fast and thorough job. I was very pleased and would recommend to anyone.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your support!!!!we truly appreciate your comments!
I've seen 3 rheumatologists for a sudden medical issue and of them, Dr. Girnita (who was recommended by a dear friend) was the best. She's smart, methodical, listens carefully, follows up and is available. She's also current on research -- telling me about a special program at UCSF that none of the other doctors were aware of...highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much!
We were struggling to find a doctor, they were telling us 9 months to see a RA doctor. Dr Daina has been amazing at help my wife with her health issues. It's hard to find a doctor who cares you found one here.

Living with autoimmune diseases is unsettling as I never know when symptoms will occur and figuring out the cause can be tricky. Dr. Girnita, with compassion, warmth, and knowledge, helps me navigate my health journey. Knowing that she is accessible when I may need her is comforting. I recommend her services.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much!!!!
Hands down the best doctor. PERIOD!
I could end the review here with a complete mic drop. But I will elaborate further so other potential patients can get a picture of why I think that.
The whole experience, from intake to the end of my patient relationship with the doctor has been a straight 5-star experience.
She and her team were easy to deal with. Setting up an appointment was easy, the day of the appointment was easy. The patient portal was much better and easier to use than any other doctor I've seen.
But the best of all: Her listening skills and empathy.
So many doctors today make you feel more like a customer than a patient. Where your wait time in the lobby is longer than the time you get to see the doctor. Not Diana. She made me feel heard and cared for.
She takes the time to actively listen to your concerns. She then addresses them and answers questions with great care and empathy. This point deserves to be repeated: Diana listens to you. She then answers questions with empathy, and at a level where I, as a non-medical professional can understand.
I, together with many others have gotten fed up with the excessive tipping culture in the service industry lately. But if I could, and if it were ethical, I'd gladly give her the biggest tip.

Dr. Girnita, has provided exceptional care. I have been impressed by her patience and thoughtfulness to formulate a plan that I am comfortable with which is nearly unheard of in todays healthcare system. I am grateful to have found Dr. Girnita and would recommend her to friends and family if they are ever in need of a Rheumatologist as she cares for her patients and it shows. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your support!! We are so happy to see the work of Dr Girnita appreciated!
I am a patient of Dr. Girnita and I am so grateful for her because she is helping me. Rheumatoid arthritis runs in my family. I do not have it, but there is a risk of getting it if I do not take care of it with supplements that will help me So I am doing the recommended protocol of taking different supplements to help my body and also protect my body. I really do love working with Dr. Girnita, she is so knowledgeable and educated and has warm and kind Personality. I was having some other issues with my feet and she was able to recommend products that I needed so that I could work through these issues.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! I am so excited to see your review!!!
Very thorough and responsive!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your support!!!!
I sought out Dr. Girnita for a second opinion on my rheumatic symptoms and my diagnosis, after having a series of life threatening medical catastrophes due to the poor care I received where I live. I chose her due to her specialty in the neurological complications of Sjogren's. She was nothing short of fantastic. Like night and day compared to most of the local doctors I've seen who have been so unhelpful, exceeding my expectations both in her professionalism and knowledge of this condition, and in her genuine kindness and amazingly attentive and caring manner. She did a detailed assessment of my medical history and symptoms, and provided an equally detailed report/consult note, and followed up with me on the tests she ran. She answered several questions about medical mysteries I've had for many years, and had never been able to get help with previously. My only complaint is that I can't make a clone of her, to have her as my local doctor! If you need a second opinion, or are in one of the states she can provide ongoing care for, do not hesitate. She is one of these mythical unicorn doctors we all only wish to find.

I highly recommend Dr. Diana Girnita. I was very happy with my experience with her from start to finish. She took the time to listen to me and was very kind and caring. I loved how she reviewed my whole case and all of my medical records, I had a lot of paperwork and she took the time to go through it all and review it with me to make sure we didn’t miss a thing. I never felt rushed whatsoever like I have before in other places. Dr. Girnita is so smart and knowledgeable in her field. She truly cares about her patients. She always kept in touch and kept me up to date on everything. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. Thank you for everything Dr. Girnita!
Response from the owner:Thank you so so much for everything and for the support! I wish you the best of health!!!
Dr. Girnita is an exceptional physician and human. She is the most caring physician I have had the opportunity to work with. She puts her patients before herself, making herself available outside working hours, and responds very quickly to care and prescription needs. She is highly knowledgeable both in her specialty and as a primary care physician, and looks at her patients from a holistic perspective rather than individual parts to diagnose. I will continue choosing Dr. Girnita as my physician of choice for the foreseeable future!
Response from the owner:thank you so much! I am humbled and I appreciate your support so much!
I had an excellent experience with Dr Girnita! Dr Girnita is very knowledgeable, very competent and professional. She is wonderful person and very caring

I’m so lucky to be Dr Girnita’s patient. From the moment I met her she’s been very helpful, always answering my questions and giving me useful tips on adapting my lifestyle to diminish the symptoms of my autoimmune disease. Not only is she a great doctor with a lot of experience, she’s also a great person.

Thanks God for Dr.Girnita! Finally I was able to have a diagnostic and treatment to my mornings body aches and pains. Dr. Diana listened so patiently to my complaints and stories of pain episodes, she took time to explain all the abnormal blood tests results, causes and effects and how to start managing and treat them that I was able to gain back my self confidence and trust in my body.

It was a wonderful experience, with all questions answered and many useful practical tips. Mrs. Dr. Girnita inspires confidence, and the medical professionalism she showed helped me to understand much better what the challenge and problems of an autoimmune disease involve. Life as a patient is much better with such a doctor by your side!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! I am grateful and humbled by your support and I appreciate the trust in our practice Rheumatologist OnCall
I've been seeing Dr. Girnita for about 4 months with unknown joint pains along with rashes for the last 2 years. My primary and other rheumatologist was only doing bunch of blood work for about a year. Unfortunately, all my lab work came negative and I was just getting worse to the point that I could not walk.
My life was so miserable until I saw Dr. Girnita's YouTube series of autoimmune disease. I had to reach out Dr. G about a week later and right away I scheduled for oncall meeting. The first day I met Dr. G, she was so different from the other doctors I've been seeing. She was listening to my pain and she was absolutely amazing with full of knowledge to go beyond and above the expectations with caring.
With her outrageous field of experience has come down to diagnosed me with psoriatic arthritis.
I am currently on a treatment and seeing so much improvement.
Thank you Dr. Girnita, you are my life savior!!

Dr. Girnita listened to me and really heard me. She understood exactly how I was feeling each time we met and I trust her implicitly to help me now and in the future.
Response from the owner:Thank so much! I appreciate your support and kindness!!!
I have been struggling for the last 15 months with extreme fatigue/dizziness/painful joints in legs and arms. I have seen a lot of doctors and specialist with no concrete diagnosis except that it may be long haul Covid related but no specific treatments available. I have been waiting to see local rheumatologist but the wait is so long. In the mean time I contacted Dr Girnita to get a second option. It was convenient to contact Dr Girnita and get an online appointment within few days. Dr Girnita reviewed all my medical records from the past year and as half before my appointment. During my online appointment, I found Dr Girnita kind, approachable, quite knowledgeable, knew my medical history well, put ease to some medical concerns I had and best of all gave me potential diagnosis and treatment option. I will be pursuing the treatment with the local rheumatologist since Dr Girnita does not practice in my state. I highly recommend Dr Girnita as a rheumatologist or even to get second opinion.
Response from the owner:Thank you so so much! I appreciate your support! Thank you for your trust in our company Rheumatologist Oncall!
Response from the owner:Thank you very much, we appreciate your support and great feedback!
Dr. Girnita is a kind, caring doctor. She is incredibly thorough and looks at the big picture. I live in the Seattle area and had a Zoom visit. The cost was reasonable and totally worth Dr. Girnita’s expertise. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a second opinion. I was also able to get an appointment in less than a week! Thank you for your YouTube videos and medical practice “Rheumatologist on Call” Dr. Girnita. You are offering a wonderful service to people in need.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! WE value your feedback! Dr Girnita is happy to share her knowledge with the word and says "Thank you for watching her YT channel!"

I booked with an appointment and they way she approach and cares for you during the visit and after is just amazing ! And she ensures also to educate you about your disease, medication and any possible side effects. In addition to pays alot of attention to screen you for any possible disease complications or effects on other organs.
God bless her ❤️
God bless her ❤️
Response from the owner:You are very kind and thoughtful! Thank you for your amazing feedback!
I felt as though I was out of options but I decided to try Dr. Girnita and boy am I glad I did! She's patient and actually LISTENS to you before she puts together a treatment. I would highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! We are here to support you in your medical journey and we are very appreciative you gave us a chance!
Dr Girnita was so kind and helpful! She really listened to me and spent the time reviewing all my many labs and explained things so well and simply for me! Thank you so much Dr!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much ! We highly appreciate your support and feedback!
This is one of those reviews where you feel compelled to warn others. Dr. Girnita was not helpful at all, cold bedside manner, gaslight a variety of clinical symptoms, randomly picks and chooses which positive lab markers to ignore. I have wasted 750 dollars in just two visits. If you don’t fit a basic cookie cutter rheumatology diagnosis she won’t help you regardless of your level of suffering.
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Please allow me to address your concerns.
First and foremost, I acknowledge your frustration. I genuinely and truly feel your frustration as I frequently see patients that were through bad experiences with the medical system, were rushed from doctor to doctor , they usually spend 7-10 minutes in an appointment and they are ordered a gazillion of tests that no one cares to explain to them. You know that did NOT happen in our practice. I want to emphasize that I dedicate significant time and effort to each of my patients. In your case, I spent 90 minutes during our appointments and an additional 30 minutes reviewing your previous medical care or sending the results interpreted (all at no extra charge).
Autoimmune diseases are complex and often unfold over time, making them challenging to diagnose and treat effectively. Some people cant be diagnosed as medicine did not conquer the complexity of the human body.
My approach is comprehensive and patient-centered.
I do not solely rely on lab results to make diagnoses or prescribe medications.
Instead, I consider each patient's unique situation, symptoms, and history.
It is never my intention or I ever gaslight any patient.
I strive to understand and address all symptoms thoroughly, I ask many many questions in the visits and before our visits.
I listen to the patient story, that is more important than any medical records and even many laboratory tests.
In our last session, I repeatedly asked you if you have any other questions and I strive on answering all.
I also offered you the opportunity to follow up if new symptoms emerged and ordered future tests to monitor your condition.
My goal is always to provide the best possible care and support.
However, I am not giving you a diagnosis if I don't see the scientific evidence and I never lie or mislead patients that I know everything to everyone....
You have all my support if you need my referral to another specialist that you think will serve your specific needs.
Our door is always open, and I invite you to return for further evaluation and discussion.
Your well-being is my priority, and I am committed to assisting you in any way I can.
We really work for the patients not the money! Maybe that sounds unreal but that Is why my practice offers real solutions and is financially responsible to help people in difficult need, independent of the insurance status!
I truly hope that you will find the answers/ diagnosis that you are looking for!
Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to get involved into your medical care!
Best regards,
Dr. Diana Girnita
The doctor lady proved to be a true professional who empathizes with the patient, she is very empathetic and is the first doctor who offered me a diagnosis combining medication with a new healthier lifestyle (exercise, diet, mindset). It started to have an effect on me in about 2 weeks and I got rid of back and bone pains. So, for me, it was miraculous!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the beautiful review! We highly appreciate your support and feedback!!!!
Dr. Girnita is a kind, compassionate doctor who focuses on the best care with the most reasonable price model. I would highly recommend her and wish doctors in all specialties operated with her same motivations and business acumen.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your beautiful words! Your support is very appreciated!!!
Was able to get an appointment right away and so many questions answered. Dr Diana Girnita is very thorough and asks questions other doctors do not.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much! We appreciate your honesty and support!
CANNOT SAY HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR DR. GIRNITA. IT IS SUCH A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE TO HAVE A DOCTOR THAT REALLY THOUGHTFULLY LISTENS TO YOU AND PAYS ATTENTION.
Response from the owner:Thank you so so much!!! We are honored to have you!
First of all, I would like to start off by saying that my review on this Rheumatologist is long over-due. I've never encountered a doctor so patient, compassionate, smart, and thorough. I flew in from a different state and it was worth the trip. She took the time to go through countless records including labs. I'd been blown off by a couple doctors and was so disappointed. I'd been battling against severe joint pain, muscle pain, dry eyes, dry mouth, teeth decay, hair loss etc. The only amswers I was getting pertaining to my symptoms is they were mainly attributed to my arthritis/fibromyalgia diagnosis, However, Dr. Girnita looked at the whole picture. What I've noticed since starting on her recommended medication regimen is less pain in my thighs so far. Oh well, I'll take whatever relief I can get! With her help, I'm hoping to see even more improvement. In addition, she took the time to address my mental health as well. Thanks Dr. Girnita, I am forever grateful 🥲
Response from the owner:Thank you for your review! We appreciate it!
About six years ago, I began experiencing numbness in my hand, which worsened over time. Some of my fingers started to deviate and show deformities. Despite this, doctors did not provide effective assistance. I even drove to Austin, where a specialist suggested wrist surgery after merely a brief examination of my hands. A similar experience occurred in Houston, where the doctor hardly examined my hands, ran no tests, and scheduled surgery. I didn't trust them and am glad I didn't proceed with the surgery. It seemed none of the doctors listened or were able to diagnose me correctly. I also saw a rheumatologist where I live; he looked at my hands once and never ran a test. Only injected my wrists with cortisone. He was putting a bandage on my disease and was doing nothing to slow it down. He also misdiagnoses me and said I had osteoporosis. After many attempts to get this doc to do more and 8 month of terrible care I stopped going. Then I found a reputable rheumatologist in San Antonio but had to wait three months to see him. That's an eternity when you suffer.
I had researched extensively about my symptoms and was convinced I knew what was wrong; I just needed a doctor who could confirm it. I believed I had psoriatic arthritis and was getting progressively worse, desperate to find the right doctor. That's when I considered looking online instead of waiting three month and found Dr. Girnita. She listened attentively and immediately suggested that I have psoriatic arthritis. She recognized the severity of my condition and didn't waste time prescribing medications that had failed in the past. She ordered a comprehensive set of blood work and X-rays to confirm inflammation, etc. Following this, she processed everything through my insurance, and three days later, it was approved for Humira.
Dr. Girnita is the best doctor I've ever had; she is likely saving my life and livelihood. I believe I will get better thanks to her now. I am very grateful.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much! We value our patients so much!!!!
Finally a doctor that listens and provides a space to discuss symptoms and is not dismissive. If you want a great Rheumatologist, that is knowledgeable, caring and ensures you have a solid understanding of your condition, Dr. Girnita is the one to choose. She identified a condition that other doctors have missed for decades...Could not look for a better M.D.
Response from the owner:Thank you so so much! We appreciate the kindness and we are here to help you as much as we can!!!
Absolutely amazing! Promptness, thoroughness, care, and expertise. I received, and continue to receive, excellent healthcare service from Dr. Girnita.
Response from the owner:Thank you Dan, your support means a lot for us! We are here to help you and others!
Having been diagnosed with an illness that required immediate treatment from a rheumatologist --to prevent debilitating consequences--I was beyond grateful that my daughter found Dr. Girnita online. I have now recovered but for most of the past year, I was under her care. The treatment and follow-ups were monitored carefully. I could contact her with any questions, any anxiety or any concerns and her responses were immediate. This kind of care was priceless...and something that should be emulated by more physicians.
Response from the owner:Thank you so so much!! We are grateful to have patients like you!!!
Very pleasant and professional Rheumatologist. Great listener. Very pleased with initial consultation.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much! We highly appreciate your support and feedback!
Finding Dr. Girnita was an absolute gift! She is caring, kind, compassionate and so accessible. I was able to make my initial appt for a consultation, have my blood test done and get results + follow up and recommendations all within a two week time frame. She went above and beyond- I just cannot say enough about Dr. Girnita and her amazing team! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! We highly appreciate your review!!
My naturopath referred me to Dr. Girnita, and I am floored by the level of attention and care I've received so far. I feel seen and heard! It's early in the process, but the entire team has been extremely responsive and thorough with testing and helping facilitate multiple tests in an efficient and timely manner. While I have yet to arrive at a diagnosis, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Girnita and her team if you are hoping to get to the bottom of a hard-to-diagnose autoimmune condition.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your appreciation!
Sophisticated medical care delivered so quickly and with great attention to detail. Dr. Girnita and her staff have figured out how to take care of patients for a reasonable cost and with such ease on Zoom. She takes plenty of time to make sure you understand (and rheumatology isn't easy to understand), her followup is prompt, if only every doctor visit could be like this. Many times you might need hands on from a doctor, but so often you don't. She ordered all the imaging and lab tests I needed, made sure I didn't overpay for them, and gave me a lot of confidence in how to manage going forward. I'm still waiting on a call back from a local rheumatologist to even get an appointment, and have already been seen twice by the caring Dr. G. Worth every penny!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! We are here to help when patients NEED it the most! We truly appreciate your feedback and the time and trust in our practice!!!!!!!
Dr. Girnita has been wonderful to work with. She's available, responsive, and thoughtful and most importantly she helped improve my knee pain.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much! Happy to help!

THANK YOU!
I highly recommend Dr. Girnita for Rheumatology care. She is a brilliant doctor and offers a wealth of knowledge and a systemic evaluation of patients with complicated clinical presentations. Scheduling was an extremely smooth process and I especially appreciated the ability to have my patient join for the peer to peer consult. Dr. Girnita offered a comprehensive clinical impression and treatment options for patient care. A full consult note was provided following the visit. I will definitely use Dr. Girnita in the future.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! Allways happy to help!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, please feel free to share your experience with our office with other people in need!
Let me preface this by saying that I am a private person and never leave reviews. I can assure you- Dr. Girnita has been nothing short of a God send. I am truly grateful and consider myself blessed to have found her. I have been very discouraged in trying to find competent and knowledgeable providers. After years of enduring dismissed concerns (and I am a provider myself!), Dr. Girnita and Darren were so helpful to me in becoming established and receiving a prompt appointment. This practice is responsive, professional, and pays great attention to detail. I live in a completely different time zone, and there has never been a time that Dr. G has not responded to my questions, health updates, or even a comment. I feel very heard and cared for under Dr. G’s care. I would rate 10 stars if I could.
Response from the owner:Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share your experience, especially given your usual preference for privacy. I am deeply touched by your kind words and gratitude.
Our aim is always to provide exceptional care, paying attention to every little detail, and ensuring that our patients feel heard, valued, and well-taken care of. Knowing that we have been able to provide that level of service to you reaffirms our dedication and commitment.
I genuinely value our interactions and am always here for you, regardless of the distance or time zones that separate us. Please know that your trust in us is our greatest reward.
Wishing you continued health and wellness!
Dr. Girnita is very thorough and takes the time needed to appropriately address needs and concerns.

Her commitment to providing excellent care, coupled with her holistic approach and efficient methods, seems to have genuinely resonated with you. Thank you for sharing your uplifting experience, and we are thrilled that you're benefiting from the wonderful care of Dr. Girnita!
Dr Girnita is amazing. One of the best doctors I’ve ever gone to see. She cares about you and takes the time to explain things so you understand. And besides all of that, she looks at the big picture with your health instead of just her specialties, and recommends the correct other specialists to see if necessary. And she also deep dives on your medical history. I haven’t seen another doctor be that thorough. She also responds to messages quickly and reliably, and knows a ton about different areas besides just rheumatology. I can’t thank her enough for all of her help on my journey to figure out what was going wrong with my body.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! I highly appreciate your review! All the health in the world for you!
A great alternative to in -network specialists. The waiting time in my area for an appointment with a rheumatologist was 6 months. I got my appointment and started treatment in 6 days. Responsive, caring and professional.

Dr. G is the best of the best. High empathy, creative, and tenacious. She cares about the person. She goes way above and beyond to get the right treatment, meds, and help in place. She's by far the best doctor I've ever worked with. So grateful to have found her!
Response from the owner:Thank you so so much! I highly appreciate your review and I am grateful to be able to help!
After leaving multiple messages for my regular Rheumatologist (of about 8 years) to schedule an appointment, but not hearing back (to date I have still not gotten a return call), I decided to browse online for a Rheumatologist near me. I also entered prompts for diet and nutrition to maybe find a Rheumatologist that might consider my thoughts on food's link to health. This is how I found Dr. Girnita. I figured I could schedule an appointment with her and wait to see either her or my regular Rheumatologist, whoever became available first. I was surprised I was able to schedule an appointment with Dr. Girnita as early as the next morning! My initial consultation with her was a full hour, with much of the appointment me detailing my situation and expressing my concerns and what I was looking for in a doctor. She has a sweet, soothing voice and a very reassuring demeanor. I really felt heard. She didn't dismiss my thoughts on food and health. She is well-versed not only in traditional medicine but in nutrition as well. She is very knowledgeable, but never condescending. She never interrupted me and often asked if I had any questions before proceeding with her advice. Even at the 1 hour mark, she made sure all my questions were answered before ending the meeting. Outside of that, she is available by email or phone for any questions. I was a bit jaded and skeptical that maybe at my follow-up appointment Dr. Girnita might not be as available as the initial consultation. I was wrong. I was able to schedule a follow-up appointment as soon as I wanted. While my appointment was 10am, I got a call/text from her almost 20 minutes earlier, letting me know she was available to start earlier if I was available!! That was so unbelievable, I even texted my husband at work to let him know. His response? "Wow!!" He was used to getting texts from me as I sat in my former Rheumatologist's lobby for 45 minutes to an hour saying, "still waiting!" Dr. Girnita is extremely knowledgeable (and has all the education, degrees, and credentials to back it up) yet she never makes me feel like any of my questions are "dumb questions." She freely shares her knowledge and information. She's even compiled a list of supplements and other helpful items for patients who ask her for recommendations. For example, my fingers have been pretty tight lately and she recommended a paraffin soak. I had never heard of that! To summarize this lengthy review for someone who doesn't have the time to read the whole thing: Dr. Girnita is an honest, kind, caring, professional, knowledgeable, skilled, and trustworthy physician who puts patients over profit. I highly recommend her for you and your health!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so so much! I value your experience and I am grateful to hear your thoughts! Always here to serve you!

Dr Girnita is very knowledgeable and works hard to see the entire picture for her patients. She listens to her patients and sympathizes with how they feel.

Considering the current US health care system, Rheumatologist oncall and Dr Diana is an unbelivable miracle!!! If you do not believe, please read my mom's experiences below. My mon, in her 70s, came to US to visit my family. Due to the covid pandemic, she could not return home. Unfortunately, she started building pains in multiple joints, such as ankle, knee, elbow, shoulder, etc, such symptoms progressed very quickly and severly. My mom could not walk without the help of walker in a very short time. Her symptoms cannot be relieved with acupuncture, plaster, heating pad. So, I know this is something severly, based on my limited medical knowledges, I suspected that my mom probably has rheumatoid arthritis based on her symptoms, and it was demonstrated with some blood lab works, which showed high level of CCP factor, high level of sedimentation rate, and high level of C reactive protein, which was ordered online and no health insurances needed with self pay.
The tougher situation stared from there, where my mom could be treated??? My mom visited me without health insurance. Even with it, as you know, to get RA treated, you need to find a general doctor, he/she can refer you to a RA specialist, and you need to wait at least several months to see the RA doctor. Have to say, this makes no sense, but unfortunately it is a typical process. For RA patients, it is a terribly wrong process. RA can progress very fast, it attacks not only joint, but also lung, heart ,and other organs, with couple of months of wait, patient can be severely damaged and this process may be irreversible. Even though, such further damage may not happen, how can a patient stand with such pains daily?
It is lucky for me to find rheumatologist oncall and Dr. Diana through internet. Diana is very professional and works very fast and effectively. She cares about my mom's overall health conditions, not only RA. After more lab tests, she prescribed medicine for my mom with thorough assessment of her past medical history. There are several kinds of generic medicines which can deal with RA, Diana made a careful choice to select from them in order to prevent from triggering severe side effect. Even though the medicine she prescribed is not expensive and not very strong regarding to suppressing the overwhelming immune reaction for RA, it is very effective for my mom's condition, her pain, swelling, numbness in her joints have significantly alleviated, she can walk for a distance without walker now. All this happened just in 4 months since she started with the treatment with Diana. If there were no Rheumatologist oncall and Dr.Diana, my mom even could not have seen a RA specialist in 4 months even with health insurance.
I highly recommend Dr. Diana and her business -- Rheumatologist oncall, for the treatment of immune disorder diseases, such as RA, such diseases can progress very fast, at least, you need some fast action to deal with them, Thanks, Dr.Diana!

I was under the care of Dr. Girnita for several months and was very grateful for her advice and guidance as I worked through some health issues. Dr. G was responsive to my questions, spent plenty of time listening to my concerns and providing suggestions to improve my health. It was so refreshing to be able to access a top tier rheumatologist within a matter of days. Additionally, her staff were very friendly and responsive. Overall my experience was unlike any other I have had with medical professionals in a very positive way.

Dr. Girnita is amazing! She really took the time to listen and diagnose my mother-in-law after many years been under treated by her primary care physician. I saw her and my wife struggles trying to manage the arthritis pain and symptoms progressing over the last 2 years. Thank to Dr. Girnita we found out she has RA and finally can have a proper treatment and manage her pain correctly. I highly recommend!

Direct Primary Care has always appealed to me because standard Medical Insurance has so much confusion, waiting, and bureaucracy. Dr. Girnita has been so kind and is always available to me, she listens and tries to work with what I am willing to do. She has made the process of getting Labs done and prescriptions ordered very smooth and easy.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! I appreciate your kindness and support!!!
RIGHT DOCTOR, RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT PRICE
After unsuccessfully locating a rheumatologist to take my referral, no assurance the service would be paid for, plus a several months wait, I thought there HAD to be a better way. I needed someone to help explain my lab tests and guide me on the next steps. Thanks to Google search for bringing up Dr. Diana Girnita from Rheumatologist on-call. She is a compassionate and experienced physician who immediately put me at ease. She is unrushed and generous with her time. I joined as a member which costs less than my current insurance plan for MD visits plus labs. I also utilized her abundant and elegant educational resources and classes. Following her nutrition and exercise advice my labs returned to normal. Wow, now this IS health care.

Diana Girnita is my primary care doctor. I have decided to start this journey with her after experiencing the work of many primary care doctors in the US. Once I started working with Diana, I knew this would be a long term relationship. She was the first doctor who asked me about my sleep, nutrition, supplements, activity levels and lifestyle and compared that to my blood tests and results, explaining the connections coherently. Moreover, she spends the time to explain and ask questions, much more than other doctors I have worked with and this is something that I truly value in a primary care physician.
Response from the owner:thank you very much!
The best rheumatologist. I was diagnose with a disease that at the beginning scared me a lot thinking that I will become invalid in time and Dr Girnita make me see all the story from another perspective. She presented me the situation from a holistic point of view, giving me advices on how I can decrease the body inflammation by modifying my diet and lifestyle. She don’t treat the disease, she treats the patient and by making a correct evaluation of the whole situation she succeed to improve the quality of patient’s life. Chronic inflammatory diseases needs correct evaluation and monitoring in order to succeed patient satisfaction and this is what Dr Girnita is doing.
Response from the owner:thank you!!!
She is amazing! Helped me so much and would recommend everyone to make an appointment. Not only is she listening to your problems, her knowledge is very impressive! Dr.G will help you not only with medication, she will give you advice on so many levels. A real life saver!
Response from the owner:thank you!
In my journey with Long Covid ,I have met many types of doctors.
Sadly not even a handful of truly amazing and very caring doctors.
Dr.Girnita is one of those doctors who will do extra for her patients.
When I was told she is not licensed in my state and if I want to keep my appointment it will be only a consultation. I was nervous, because I wondered if I will get the answers I am looking for. Dr. Girnita called me in the next 5 min- reassured me she will respond all my questions, look at my blood results and will advise me what to do next. She even called my doctor made a treatment plan.
It really stood up to me how she wanted she hear my story. To know me better. She calmed me, supported me . Told me I can reach her with any advice or questions.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the help.

Dr. Girnita is an excellent clinician. She has that hard to find mix of being both knowledgeable and personable, competent and empathetic. She has a somewhat unique practice model that is likely to become increasingly common in the future. I very much feel her expertise is worth the expense and likely saves money for patients in the long run. I highly recommend!
Response from the owner:thank you very much! I value your review greatly!
Easy to obtain appointments. The office staff is so nice and willing to help. And the doctor is amazing.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the appreciation and support!
100% amazing experience working with Dr. Girnita, and will continue to consult with her during my healing journey. Her empathy, support and knowledge of her speciality helped me tremendously during a very challenging time in managing my health and I would be lost without her. Recommended!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your support and kindness!!!!
I finally met a doctor that took a comprehensive look at my health history and was willing to try until we saw improvements. A doctor that is not only a specialist but one that has extensive knowledge of clinical research in many areas and doesn't just follow checklists. I strongly recommend her!
Response from the owner:Thank you very much, it is my pleasure to help and share my knowledge with my patients!
Dr Girnita is very prompt, compassionate, and forthcoming doctor. She took my case when other Rheumatologists had long wait time, helped me through multiple (maybe) unrelated physical problems. The quick on call response you can get with Dr Girnita is unparalleled.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your appreciation!
Dr. Girnita has been amazing. I stumbled across Rheumatologist OnCall after enduring lots of problems from a mis diagnosed issue. Dr Girnita listened very carefully, reviewed my records, made a diagnosis and prescribed treatment that has literally given me mobility back. She is a great partner to have when you are dealing with autoimmune disease and am so thankful to be working with her.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much!
I have 24/7 access to Dr. Girnita for any healthcare questions. I've had a better experience with her than my previous doctors because my concerns are taken seriously as well.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! We appreciate your trust in our practice!
Helped my mom with the severe pain in her hand. My mom is very happy with the treatment.
Response from the owner:Thank you! It was a great pleasure to serve your mother!
I am a physician and dealing with joint pain for close to 2 years with development of recent changes. The providers in primary care that I have seen have discounted all these symptoms as mechanical/stress related. I had to demand a referral to a rheumatologist and was referred to one with a wait time of 3 months. This is when I looked online and found Dr Girnita. She listens to you, validates your concerns and helps you find answers you have been looking for. The appointment is not rushed and you have the attention of your doctor for a whole hour. I have been in healthcare for 10 years now and this is a rare thing to get. She even contracts with lab companies to offer you discounted prices.If you have been struggling with pain and are having a hard time finding a rheumatologist, I would pick Dr Girnita!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kindness!
Dr. Diana is very approachable and thorough. I was unable to find a rheumatologist who could see me urgently to go over some reports. Dr Diana went through all my reports with me and gave me a detailed plan on how to navigate my health concerns. It boosted my confidence and gave me a lot of mental relief. She is amazing and highly recommend to anybody needed rheumatological help.
Response from the owner:thank you!!!
Dr. Girnita has been an absolute lifesaver! She was able to see me within days of contacting her office. She offers amazing clinical advice, affordable services, and extremely responsive communication. She has not only brought me peace of mind, but superb health care.
Response from the owner:thank you!!!
Diana Girnita is an excellent rheumatologist who has put together a brilliantly innovative way of offering her services. Her system is especially applicable to treatment of chronic disease. It gives patients much greater access to her while also providing cost predictability and lower prices. All of these things are difficult to achieve with the standard insurance/ fee-for-service model, yet are highly important for health conditions where the severity fluctuates and which may cause periods of crisis. Plus, Dr. Girnita is a warmly compassionate person who is honestly concerned with your welfare and inspires trust. I actually looked forward to our appointments. My polymyalgia was frightening to me but successfully resolved under her treatment, with no lasting side effects. I am a very satisfied ex-patient.
Response from the owner:Amazing review!!! Thank you for your support and trust!!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you!!!
Dr. Girnita is great! She was able to see me way sooner than any local rheumatologist, and from the comfort of my own home, and she seems very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your support!!!!
I highly recommend Dr. Girnita. After four months spent visiting 26 different physicians, multiple labs, CAT scans and MRIs, I found Dr. Girnita who immediately recognized my auto-immune condition and started me on treatment. In addition to her medical competence, I appreciate that Dr. Girnita responds quickly to my needs, and formulated a treatment plan respecting my wishes. I am sorry that I didn't find her sooner.
Response from the owner:Thank you so so much!!!!
Dr. Girnita is very knowledgeable, informative and so easy to talk to. She has such a great bedside manner. I am a primary care physician (PCP) who have referred to her, and my experience has been great thus far. My patient also speaks highly of Dr. Girnita. She truly listens to her patients and is very compassionate. As a PCP, I love that she consistently keeps you in the loop and keeps open communication with both you and the patient. I highly recommend Dr. Girnita at Rheumatologist OnCall; you will not regret it. I would go to her myself! I'd also give more starts if it were allowed!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your support!
Dr. Girnita is kind and thorough. She listens when you speak, and makes clear the plan for care going forward. She makes every interaction useful and makes it a priority to help her patients in as timely a manner as possible. She has made a difficult situation as pleasant as possible and it is wonderful to work with her.
Response from the owner:Thank you so so much! I appreciate your support!!
Dr. Girnita is amazing! I have been working with her for the past few months and I’m amazed that my health has improved tremendously. I had severe health problems, after seeing several practitioners who didn’t listen to me or understand my concerns, I found Dr. Girnita. She was very patient, provided detailed explanations, ran thorough labs and her treatments were helpful. I felt heard, cared and am so glad that she treated my problems. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a doctor who listens to you and believes in holistic medicines.
Response from the owner:Thank you so so much! I has been a pleasure to work with you.
5 stars all the way! Dr. Girnita is a complete game changer when it comes to Rheumatology care. I don't have the time or patience to deal with driving to the Houston Med Center. Especially during covid, I didn't want to spend long hours in a doctors office.
So I found Dr. Girnita and she is awesome. She is caring and patient with me. Everything is done thru video calls and she has helped me greatly with RA treatment that we both like. She has even helped me with sinus infections and other health care. My favorite part is she is very supportive and helpful with vitamins, supplements and alternative options to go along with RA meds. You won't regret trying Dr. Girnita ❤️

For some of you reading this review, this might be your 4th, 8th, or even 20th rheumatologist or specialist you’ve been considering. Every other doctor has dismissed you and your symptoms- whether it’s all “in your head”, you look “healthy” on the outside, or perhaps they labeled you with a generic syndrome because they don’t know what’s wrong with you. All of those descriptions were given to me by various doctors over the course of the last three years. Quite frankly, I had given up on getting any help from the medical community- the constant letdown of not getting heard or helped was too much for me (not to mention the cost, inconvenience, time, effort, etc). I had to stop working for nearly two years because of the pain and symptoms I was encountering. If any of the above sounds like your story, or you KNOW something is not right with your health even though the doctor tells you he can’t find anything wrong, you’ve come to the right place.
Dr Girnita is that special kind of doctor that you hear of - the unicorn that others say exists, but you can never find. From the ease of accessing her, to her kindness and compassion, to her medical expertise, Dr Girnita is the best blessing to enter my life in many years. Dr G does not have a three month wait list, nor does she only spend 7 minutes with you each appointment- I was able to see her for an initial consultation within two business days. Dr G spent AN HOUR with me- asking me questions, educating me, and trying to understand my situation. After my first appointment with her, I knew my life was finally going improve because I had found that rare doctor that actually cares about YOU as a person- she has a true passion for medicine and moreso, for helping others. She is a genuine person and I completely trust her with my health. She is very intelligent, well educated, and makes rational decisions in regards to what mediations and treatments are best- and she treats the WHOLE PERSON. My blood work doesn’t always meet the basic criteria for specific diagnosis’s but that doesn’t mean I’m not sick. Dr G will work methodically to figure out the culprit of your issues, and I appreciate that she is not quick to throw out a diagnosis without due process.
Dr Girnita has a wonderful medical business model that makes her affordable, accessible and free of many of the cumbersome restrictions and of the long waits that you typically encounter in most medical practices. Being under her care means having a doctor that will advocate for you. I suggest that you make an initial consultation as soon as you can, to get the relief you desperately need (and deserve). Now is the time to start taking back your life. As Dr G says, “you are NOT your disease!”

Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Natassia! Such a powerful statement!I feel so happy to see my hard work is ending in better health for my patients!
Dr. Girnita is a very knowledgeable physician who took her time and offered an integrative approach to my concerns. I feel very lucky in finding her and I will definitely recommend her services to anyone interested. Her approach is far superior than your regular physician visit. During the one hour visit I never felt rushed and she took the time to address all my concerns and to answer all my questions.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! I truly appreciate this!
Dr G is deeply knowledgeable and a very kind doctor. I would have had to wait months for a rheumatologist to see me in Boston. Nobody feels comfortable waiting months for medical issues. I found her online, read her credentials (Harvard is one of them) and reached out for an online consult. The online consult proved to be more comprehensive than my first appointment (in person) in Boston. The best part is that I was able to get an hour long video consult appointment the next day. She ran some bloodwork that she thought was overlooked. I did it at my local Quest with her lab orders. Since then she has provided me with empowering feedback and medical management. She is one of the best doctors I have worked with and that says a lot given that I mostly see top doctors in Boston. Thank you Dr. G!
Response from the owner:Thank you so so much!
I saw Dr Girnita at a different location. She is both incredibly competent and compassionate. She listened to my story, gave a diagnosis and then confirmed it with tests. She helped me navigate options to get to a better place. When I first saw her, I had been experiencing pain for months. She had both medication solutions and recommendations for lifestyle changes. She had great compassion for me as well while still covering a lot of the information I needed and answer questions. I highly recommend Dr. G!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! I highly appreciate this review! Happy to help you and other patients that are suffering in pain!
I was very impressed with Dr. Girnita. She was interested, motivated, knowledgeable, and most of all helpful. I have an informed plan to address my concerns. She is simply excellent!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your review! We highly appreciate your support!!!
Dr. Girnita was patient and thorough in evaluating my test results and "debugging" my possible diagnosis. She is very honest and transparent with admin/pricing and prompt with messaging and scheduling. Highly recommended.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your support!
Dr. G is really an absolute blessing! She is not only a passionate and gifted rheumatologist, but she's also one of the few specialists who have realized that there are thousands of patients who live in small, rural locations and who have a really tuff time getting access to quality specialist without having to travel long distances! She has also set up her practice so she can actually spend lots of quality time with each patient during their visits and I just really hope that as her practice grows, that she can continue with this as it really is unique in this day and age! I can't say enough about my experience with Dr. Girnita and I would absolutely recommend her to all my family and friends!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your review! It is a blessing to take care of patients in need! Thank you!
I can’t say enough about Dr. Girnita! She is kind and attentive. She wants to hear your concerns, educate you and figure out a health game plan together. She is detailed in all she does and wants you to give her as much information as possible. She also wants you to learn and give you other tools to better your health. She is compassionate but also tells you truth so to help you improve your health. She has been a blessing to me!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! I highly appreciate the recommendation!
Dr. G was incredible. She listened to my health history and concerns thoroughly before offering her expertise and opinion. Her approach to health is wholistic as it encompasses all aspects of health including nutrition, sleep, meditation, exercise…I felt extremely comfortable sharing with her and appreciated her use of experience and knowledge. She was really able to connect with my apprehension for pharmaceutical therapy and eased my anxiety with personal experience and concrete data. She followed up with an email that contained referenced articles along with a phone call. She is an excellent human doing great work as a physician.
Response from the owner:Thank you! I highly appreciate the review!
Dr. Girnita is highly specialized and very much knows her stuff. Her empathy is top-rate, and she is by far and away the most responsive person I've ever dealt with in healthcare. She doesn't accept insurance, but it is definitely no-compromise care.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! I highly appreciate the support! My way of practicing medicine is fully dedicated to the values of my patients, geared to my patients needs. Direct Specialty Care is a model of healthcare delivery that promotes the patient-physician relationship and removes third-party payors to protect the best interests of patients. Thank you!
I found Dr. Girnita to be very knowledgeable and caring. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a professional Rheumatologist, a second opinion
on their current medication or cannot obtain an appointment with a Rheumatologist for a few months. I regret not getting on medication as soon as I was diagnosed 30 years ago to stop the disease from progressing.

Dr. Girnita is not your typical doctor. She spends an entire hour with you, asking clarifying questions, going over your medical history to understand your medical issues and come up with a treatment plan that is highly customized for you. She spends time before the appointment as well as after to get to the root of your issues. Dr. Girnita’s focus is on getting your health back on track not on just addressing your symptoms. Her approach is integrative, and teaches her patients how to change their lifestyles to get healthy. Her focus is her patients. I had the privilege to meet Dr. Girnita recently, and I am so grateful to have her as my doctor. She had addressed all my concerns while looking for the root cause of my health issues. Getting an appointment is very easy and you never have to wait months to see her. I highly recommend her services to everyone who is looking to fix the cause of their issues, and not just a band-aid for their symptoms. Dr. Girnita is the doctor of the future.
Response from the owner:Thank you! happy to help!
This doctor is absolutely wonderful! The local rheumatologist wouldn’t get me in for over three months and she got me in with almost no notice. she was very patient and answered all my questions and I can’t say enough good things about her.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much!
One day, I received a call from my doctor and he told me that I had mixed connective tissue disorder and lupus. And then… He waited a month to see me. so I was left with unanswered questions and a worry unlike no other. How could I have lupus? I had no symptoms? What was MCTD exactly? Well…After getting diagnosed with Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder I did my research. I came across Dr. Girnita’s page while doing my research. After reading up on her, and everything she says, I made an appointment.
Let me tell you something, having someone so personable, helpful and knowledgeable was exactly what I needed. She helped me understand and explained my test results. My anxiety level went from a 10 to a 0 after my appointment with her. Even my husband noticed a difference.
Thank you Dr. Girnita for taking time to help me understand, review my results and talk to me as a person and not just a patient. I am forever grateful for you.

Wonderful experience with Dr Diana, she takes time the patient to help them with their health issues. Very easy to schedule an appointment and she answered all the questions that I had, you can have direct contact with her through the app and she explains in details all your lab results instead of just a quick call from the nurse as the other doctors do. Highly recommended.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! I appreciate your support !
Diana is exceptionally caring and will go out of her way to make sure you get the best care.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your support!
After getting a scary test result from a primary care doctor and was informed that it could take 6 months to a year before a local rheumatologist could see me, Dr. G was able to see me within a week and spent a lot of time examining me and addressing concerns raised by the test. Very professional and compassionate. All doctors should be this way.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much! Happy to help in anyway I can!
During a most difficult time while searching for a doctor who could help me is diagnosing my condition, Dr. Girnita came to my rescue. She immediately recognized what my condition was, and gave me the confidence in understanding my disease and the knowledge I needed in how to address my condition. Without her help I would probably still be in pain and still searching for help. I will always be grateful for her expertise, but more importantly, for her true compassion and empathy for others she displays when she interacts with her patients. Thank you Dr.Girnita for your continual support for all us in our time of need.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kindness and help!
Dr Girnita's confident and calm demeanor is very appreciated, she explains things so naturally and you can feel assured that all considerations are taken.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your support! It is greatly appreciated!
Dr. Diana Girnita continues to exceed my expectations. She was the 2nd rheumatologist I worked with after receiving my diagnosis for an extremely rare autoimmune disease. From the first appointment she made me feel as though I was her most important patient. Her care and concern over the years has been valuable to me and my wife.
When she moved from Ohio I was referred to another doctor. After a very short period of time I came to know even better how truly valuable Dr. Girnita is to all of her patients, but, especially, to me. I reached out to her to see if there was a way to continue our doctor/patient relationship from a distance. To my surprise, I found that she had been able to make arrangements so that we could continue our relationship.
It's no exaggeration to say that Dr. Girnita has had a life-saving impact on our lives for which we will be forever grateful.
You will not find a more caring, knowledgeable doctor who takes the time needed to care for you as if you're her only patient.

Response from the owner:I am so happy to help and so grateful for patients that appreciate my efforts! Thank you so much!
For many years I was misdiagnosed and even led to believe I had lupus, Dr. Girnita properly diagnosed me with my many autoimmune disorders with a thorough blood panel giving results of hypothyroidism and sjogrens. I finally have answers! Thank you! With a long term future plan I expect to have a wonderful life!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! very happy to help!
I had a virtual appointment with Dr. Girnita a few months ago for a hip bursitis. She was very professional and knowledgeable and gave me good advice on how to deal with it. Her caring follow up though was exceptional! For months she continued to periodically contact me to see how I was doing.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kindness and support!
Dr. Girnita was so willing to help and so informative. She listened and explained things so well. I would highly recommend Dr. Girnita; her telemedicine services are such a welcome addition to my care, making things so easy!

Dr. Girnita has significant teaching experience and has proven to be an excellent teacher and wonderful asset to the Rheumatology community. She is a multi-faceted woman that has inspired many to achieve meaningful careers in Rheumatology including myself. Her leadership role in developing increasing opportunities for the residents has developed new standards to Rheumatology applications and practice development. She is an excellent mentor and her development and reorganization has led to much more educationally based outpatient experience for trainees. I 100% recommend her in every level from a prior resident under her wing to the excellent rheumatologist that she is.
Response from the owner:Thank you! Such a beautiful review! You are a strong, talented and a rheumatologist that will be an amazing doctor to patients!
I met Doctor Girnita for the first time two and a half years ago, during a vulnerable time. She listened and cared for me with a kind of professionalism and dedication I have never seen before. She helped with my diagnosis and necessary treatment. She is a pillar of support for me in times of need and I love her dearly!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kindness and support!
I've interacted with Dr. Girnita on numerous occasions. Always friendly, accessible and knowledgeable. I'd give six stars if I could!
Response from the owner:Thank you very much! I appreciate your kindness!
Dr. Girnita is a wonderful, compassionate, caring, very knowledgeable rheumatologist, that I am so happy to call our doctor! Stellar credentials, Stanford and Harvard graduate, she went above and beyond, for each of my four family members (my mom and dad, both in their 70s, my husband and myself, early 50s) that needed a rheumatology consultation for different issues: osteoarthritis of the hip, back pain, shoulder pain and foot pain.
We all had telemedicine visits (we live in Los Angeles) in April and May (my husband and I, are doctors ourselves), it was a very easy process, from the video calls, to the reimbursements, scheduling the tests and follow up visits. Very transparent pricing, discounted lab visits, it was effortless from our part.
Telemedicine visits were so in depth, lasting one hour for the initial consultation and about 40 minutes the subsequent visits. I never had a doctor spend so much time with me for a consultation, taking into account the every aspect of the medical history and every detail that might be important for the diagnosis.
In addition to your rheumatology needs, I highly recommend Dr. Girnita for the nutrition and mindfulness consultation, she is an absolute goldmine of pertinent information.
I am considering the sign up for membership, since everything I need is part of the all inclusive, reasonable, monthly cost, and one enrollment fee.
Thank you Dr. Girnita, you are an amazing Doctor, so dedicated to the well-being of all your patients!

Dr. Girnita is an outstanding rheumatologist. Her superb credentials and keen clinical skills are matched by her full dedication to her patients. I recommend her wholeheartedly.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! I feel honored!
Dr. Grinita is amazing. She is very friendly, empathetic and a very good listener. I haven’t had very good experience from my previous doctors as all were only concerned about healing me peripherally without worrying about the root cause. But Dr.Grinita spent a good amount of time trying to understand the symptoms and figure out the root cause. She is a thorough professional with extensive experience. All in all, she is wonderful and I highly recommend her.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kindness and appreciation! I am grateful!
I discovered telemedicine in May 2020, when I had a video consultation with Dr Girnita. What a revelation that was! To be able to choose from top specialists from other states and have a 45 min, uninterrupted session focused on my issue (osteoarthritis) from the comfort of my home. Dr Girnita is warm and personable and is incredibly knowledgeable and up to date with the latest research in her field. What won me over was that she really listened to me and the fact that she practices INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE -that holistic approach that takes into consideration not just he body, but also the lifestyle, the mind and soul of the patient. Dr. Girnita is truly committed to promoting deep healing and well-being.
Response from the owner:Thank you so so much for your review Stefania! I am so humbled and very happy to help!
I was 31 when I was finally diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. I am currently 45 years old and on biologics. Managing this disease still feels like a full time job, especially during a pandemic.
Fortunately, I have Dr. Girnita by my side, always there to inform me about the latest studies and to advise me on the best treatment course.

Dr. Girnita has treated me for gout and psoriatic arthritis for the last two years. She is always up to date with the treatment and has given me the best options for my case. She has convinced me to start antiinflammatory diet and now I feel so much better. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Girnita is a very compassionate and knowledgable doctor who puts emphasis on treating the patient with the disease, not only the disease itself.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Girnita today — I don’t know where to start. She is one in a million!!!!
She returns calls promptly, doesn’t rush you, listens with concern, interest, and compassion, is very knowledgeable, treats the total patient, provides valuable info about your diagnosis, treatment, diet, and offers an education site for her patients because she cares. I feel so blessed having found her. All the patient reviews I read prior to my appointment are spot on and truer than true.

Response from the owner:Thank you so so much! I appreciate your support
I went to see Dr. Girnita after suffering from pain for 2 months anytime I moved any part of my body. After some blood tests, she told me that, "No matter what it is, we can handle it". I went home from that visit feeling very encouraged - for the first time in 60 days. She prescribed a medicine that eliminated all my pain in just one day. After a couple of weeks, she had me start reducing the dosage of that medicine. When a small amount of the pain returned, she moved me to a less powerful medicine. Throughout the entire process and 3 visits, she kept me wonderfully informed on what was going on, what the meds she was prescribing would do as well as any side effects, and answered all my questions in an easy to understand manner. I recommend Dr. Girnita highly. She solved a pain issue worse than any I've ever had.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much! I hope that you will continue to feel great!
She is warm and caring and knows what I will ask even before I ask. She is just wonderful!
Response from the owner:So so kind of you! I appreciate your support!

Response from the owner:thank you so much!
Today I got some AMAZING and heartbreaking news.... my Rheumatologist checkup was today and going in I already knew my blood work was good... But actually having my doctor tell me that all is well gives me so much more. Her words.. her tone... Her care... Her concern.. her continued vow that she will help me no matter what... Is her true POWER! She has helped me fight my hardest battle with my crazy unexpected autoimmune disease. She has gotten me to my stage of remission and I am forever greatful. She treated me like she would her own family... I was more than a patient to her... And she let me feel and know that. Today in my appt she told me she will no longer be with tri-health. Her husband got offered a job in another state and she will be moving. I'm overwhelmed with sadness and loss. She was and still is the doctor who saved my life and got me on a treatment plan that worked for me. This is the second time I have lost a world renowned Rheumatologist. My disease when first discovered in 2007... The doc was at a loss for what was going on. Research and knowledge of Vasculitis has GREATLY improved since I was originally diagnosed.. but in the interim I lost my first doctor. I was referred to Dr. Girnita and she was highly recommend that she would be the best for my care... And she is. I was worried getting new new doctor after being in remission for almost 9 years... But WOW... I was blessed. She has been nothing but exceptional and most of all concerned about what's best for me. I told her in EVERY single visit I had with her that I am very lucky to have her as my doctor..because she saved my life. In closing... Today me and her shed a tear together (well kinda...she told me not to cry because it would make her cry)... for the fact I am again in remission but also because she is a HUGE key in my life. I am going to miss her and I am beyond greatful for her being a part of my life... Not sure how I'm going to get by without her❤️❤️❤️. #lovemydoctor #vasculitissucks
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! I am always there for my dear patients! I am deeply touched by your words!Thank you again for your trust, respect and love!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kindness! I here to help you, your family and friends! I am happy to do this!
Dr.Girnita is the absolute best! Clinically she cannot be outdone. Her kindness, personal attention and wholistic approach make her the whole package. You will not find better care anywhere and with telemedicine, now location is no longer a barrier to care. I feel absolutely blessed to be able to continue receiving her care out of state.
Response from the owner:I highly appreciate your kindness and respect! The feeling is mutual!

Dr Girnita is one of the healthcare professionals that put patients needs on first place. She's an exceptional listener and will find you the best treatment and disease management available. Not only exceptionally trained but an incredible well rounded physician.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kindness!!
Dr Girnita was the first of 3 rheumatologist to actually spend time with me, learning about my symptoms, learning about my concerns, actually listening to me. After only 3 visits she had the tests and answers to diagnose me with Psoriatic Arthritis and start a treatment plan that has ended up putting me back on a path of a normal life without constant pain. When she left her practice in my hometown, she left me in good hands with a very capable fellow Rheumatologist. But she didn’t stop at that, she contacted me over the next few months to personally make sure that I was being taken care of. She spent over an hour texting with me on several occasions providing nutritional and lifestyle advice. Over the time that I have know Dr. Girnita, I can say she takes a very personal interest in every one of her patients. She continues her education to be a better doctor and she has truly become someone I consider a friend. Dr Girnita is truly a one of a kind doctor, that truly is in the field of health for her patient wellbeing and not just for the paycheck. I wish there were more like her today! Thank you for being my friend and Doctor!

Wonderful physician, attentive, listens and empathizes all while delivering first class care.
Response from the owner:thank you!!! I am here to help with utmost pleasure!
There are not enough wonderful words to describe Dr. Girnita! She has set the bar for the physician of the twenty-first century. She is kind, caring, compassionate, and an excellent listener. Her patients' concerns are valued and questions are taken seriously. She cares about the whole person and the myriad of factors that influence a person's health and wellness. During this past year, she has worked tirelessly to uncover the mystery of my recent symptoms. She responds to my concerns the same day; she has referred me to like-minded colleagues; and she has given me helpful action -steps along the way. I can't imagine this past year without her support, experience, and friendship.
Response from the owner:Such lovely words!!!! Thank you so so much!
The quality of patient care that I have received from Dr. Girnita is incomparable. She has helped me to restore a good quality of life and renewed my faith in medical practice. She is quite literally the best doctor I have known. With a vast wealth of knowledge and high level of expertise paired with great dignity and respect for others, anyone in her care is truly blessed. She has a genuine sense of care and compassion. My patient evaluations are very thorough and fully encompassing to all aspects of my health and well being. Watching her work, for me as a patient, has been fascinating. She is extremely intelligent and confident, but (very importantly) not arrogant. She actively listens to every word I speak and lets nothing slip by without consideration. She has always been available for me and quick to respond. The quality of Dr. Girnita’s character is impeccable and her skill level is comparable to very few. She is the pinnacle of the medical profession and all doctors should aspire to replicate her standard of care. If you are fortunate enough to come under the care of Dr. Girnita, you will never want for another.
Response from the owner:I am humbled and driven to provide the best care that I can give to you and all my patients! Thank you for your kindness and review!
It is my experience that Dr Girnita is not just an excellent doctor but is also very personable and compassionate. I first saw her as a patient 4-1/2 yrs ago when I experienced an immediate onset of rheumatoid arthritis. I like to say she saved my life. She went into action right away and in a very short time my symptoms were minimized. She phoned me 3 days after my initial visit just to see how I was doing. In addition to improving the arthritis she prescribed medication which greatly improved my osteoporosis. I was so sad when Dr Girnita moved her practice to California. I miss her very much but she has been so kind to take time from her busy schedule to answer emails and even call me even though I’m no longer a patient. That shows how caring she is. I highly recommend Dr Girnita to anyone who is looking for a rheumatologist who goes above and beyond for the welfare of their patient.
Response from the owner:thank you so so much!
Recently I sent one of my client to Dr. Girnita as she was suffering from some rheumatological disease that none of the doctors she has seen were considering as a problem. A 41 year old woman cannot pinch isn't a problem? Dr. Girnita made time asap to e-see her, yes as my client lives afar from where the dr is situated. They had a video call, my client sent her all the x-rays she had and Dr. Girnita figured out what it is. Not only she recommended a few medications, but a few natural remedies as well.
My client was extremely satisfied and as a health coach I can assure you that I wouldn't recommend anyone another reumathologist than Dr. Garnita.
She is kind, friendly, accomodating and last but not least a dedicated doctor!

We have been so pleased with Dr. Girnita. She has become a trusted resource for assistance with our patients who have rheumatologist concerns. Her educational webinars for rheumatology info for physicians have also been very helpful and are much appreciated.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience!
The other day I had the pleasure of a telemedicine visit with Dr. Girnita. Normally, when referring to a doctor visit the word "pleasure" does not immediately come to mind. However, in this case that term is perfect. Dr. Girnita took a long time to carefully listen to my history and symptoms. In one interaction I felt that she understood my case much better than physicians who have known me for years. She is very polite and patient, but does not waste time getting to the heart of the matter. In one day she had summarized the visit and provided logical and easy to follow recommendations. In more than 20 years of speaking with doctors about my condition this is the first time I have information I can really use. I recommend her very highly and without any hesitation. She is what medicine used to be and could be again!

This second opinion consultation has given me ' new' hope for the future, after left feeling denied and deprived of living my fullest life, in the past.
This report will play a significant support on my behalf in helping to receive the correct medical treatment/care, but also assist in creating further education, awareness and understanding of the deeper complexities of Sjogrens disease here in the UK.

Dr. Girnita is extremely kind and thorough. I feel really grateful to have her as a resource with some complex health issues I face. Also her Assistant Darren is kind too and made the onboarding process simple for me. If you are having difficult health concerns and are afraid some autoimmune issue is happening, you will be in good hands with Dr. Girnita! Her evaluation is incredibly thoughtful and intentional.

Dr. Garnita is exceptional in every way! I have been a Registered Nurse for over 40 years and she was easily able to address my concerns about Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus. Her office staff is exceptional as well by setting up the telemedicine conference.
Jacqueline N
Dr. Girnita actually listens and cares for her patients. This is so rare now! She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in treating autoimmune issues. My case was particularly complex, but she took the time to take a thorough history and really reviewed all my symptoms and labs. My appointment was not rushed and I could feel the genuine compassion she has. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone who has had a difficult time getting a diagnosis or treatment plan.
L H.
Dr. G is extremely bright, and her intake is thorough. She is a clear communicator, and pleasant to interact with. I trust that she stays current on the best known rheumatological practices. Additionally, Dr. G offered me great nutrition/lifestyle advice that helped me manage my condition. Her assistant is also very good—whenever I’ve needed something, both he and Dr. G responded swiftly and effectively.
Norma M.
Dr Girnita is a Godsend! I am so happy I found her on YouTube. I’ve been experiencing intermittent pain on my lower right rear back since 11/23 that none of the doctors from UCI and multiple Urgent Care visits can figure out. The xray, CT scan were negative and while PT helped for other things, the primary reason for being referred to PT was not resolved.
I ended up finding an in-network Rheumatologist who ordered a blood panel and the results showed I had antibodies SS-A and SS-B which meant I had Sjögren’s Syndrome. The treatment were either taking Hydroxychloroquine or Medrol pak (steroids). At this point, I wanted a 2nd opinion and that’s when I decided to reach out to Dr Girnita.
Here are the reasons why I was happy with my consultation with her and why I highly recommend her:
* She is VERY thorough. She spent 60 minutes with me to really understand what was going on. She already reviewed the online form I filled out, but she asked me to describe how and what happened from the very first time I felt the pain to make sure we are not missing anything. She also reviewed each and every line item from the lab results which no doctor these days even take the time to review with patients.
* The wait time to get an appointment is a few days versus months. I could not believe I could get an appointment in 2 days rather than 3 or 4 months.
* She asks and welcomes questions at the end of the appointment.
* She doesn’t jump the gun to write a prescription. After finding out the hard way that an antibiotics that I took back in the 90s caused my tendonitis, I am really hesitant taking meds without understanding the long term side effects. I appreciate that Dr Girnita educates patients about supplements and what could be done to improve my condition.
Thank you Dr Grinita!

Dr. Girnita has helped me so much! She is very kind, patient, and caring. She has made a huge positive impact on my life with the top care she has provided. I would recommend her to friends and family always and am grateful for finding her.
Dennis R.
I am HLA B27 positive, for 50 years have periodic 'arthritis' in bilateral joints, generally relatively low level but occasionally higher level pain. After yet another physician who knew little about HLA B27, I found Dr Girnita who prescribed Yusimry, a cost effective Humira biosimilar. After a few months my hips bursa improved and I am again able to be active. A very good result, thank you Dr Girnita.
Jim L.
I cannot recommend Dr. Girnita enough! She has an incredible ability to take complex rheumatological conditions and explain them in a way that’s easy to understand. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, she personalizes treatment plans with multiple options, and encourages a doctor-patient relationship to foster continued work, treatment and improvement. Her thoroughness, compassion, and expertise make every consultation feel reassuring and productive. And the willingness to work with your other doctors and specialists helps to encourage a more complete medicla experience

I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Girnita on several cases and she has always gone above and beyond for my patients.

Thank you for being such a valuable resource for our practice!
Amy G.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Girnita. She saw one of my patients in consult for a new rheum diagnosis. Dr. Girnita is very accessible, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and affordable. The appointment was scheduled in a very timely manner. She created a treatment plan which met my patient's needs. The patient felt heard, and was impressed with Dr. Girnita, and was very grateful to be seen so quickly.

Kim Ha Wadsworth (Dr. K.
Dr. Girnita is knowledgeable, caring and thorough! I'm a family physician and had a new patient who suffered for years without an accurate diagnosis, meanwhile deteriorating without any answers ... that is, until he established care with me as his new PCP, and I consulted Dr. Girnita for her expert advice. She reviewed my note and summary as well as prior hospital and specialist records. Her assistant was able to get me scheduled within a week. At our initial virtual visit, Dr. Girnita clearly explained the differential diagnoses and recommended the necessary labs. She anticipated everything! I was able to support my patient as he waited to establish care with a local rheumatologist. My patient and I both appreciated Dr. Girnita's deep knowledge and timely access. What an incredible service for my patient when referrals to specialists are usually taking 3+ months. I highly recommend seeking out Dr. Girnita's expertise and humanistic care for complex cases that stump other rheumatologists!
Huimin C.
Dr. Girnita is knowledgable and willing to spend time listening to me and answering all the questions I have. She's well prepared before my appointment to review all my history and blood work results. She provided me a thorough explanation of my medical situation and blood work results by going through all the items in the report. She also allowed me to think through any questions I have to make full use of the time booked. In addition, she's responsive and very caring. I'm very glad that I was referred to Dr. Girnita for my health issue.
Dan C.
I cannot express how helpful, compassionate and thorough Dr Girnita's consultation has been. I've gone from fear and confusion to a solid plan for dealing with psoriatic arthritis.
Susan R.
Dr. Girnita has helped me immensely. She has the knowledge, education and experience to properly diagnose and then set a plan of action to relieve pain and promote healing.
She is very thoughtful, kind and is a great listener. She also makes superior recommendations for places I can go to gain even more knowledge on my condition.
I highly recommend Dr. Girnita for anybody looking for help around rheumatoid arthritis and related conditions.

Dr. Diana Girnita is one of the most thorough and thoughtful doctors I've seen. She was able to think of and find new ways of treating the symptoms/maladies that I've been suffering with for years. I went to Baylor, Mt. Sinai, Weil Cornell just to name a few over the last 15 years, and Dr. Girnita is better than all the MD/PhDs that I saw prior. She will continue working with you until you solve the problem together, instead of blaming you, or saying it's all in your head, or just dropping off completely. She is compassionate and kind and very good at her job. I can't recommend her enough.
Steve S.
Dr. Diana Girnita was very nice and did a wonderfully fast and thorough job. I was very pleased and would recommend to anyone.
Premal S.
I've seen 3 rheumatologists for a sudden medical issue and of them, Dr. Girnita (who was recommended by a dear friend) was the best. She's smart, methodical, listens carefully, follows up and is available. She's also current on research -- telling me about a special program at UCSF that none of the other doctors were aware of...highly recommend.
Troy B.
We were struggling to find a doctor, they were telling us 9 months to see a RA doctor. Dr Daina has been amazing at help my wife with her health issues. It's hard to find a doctor who cares you found one here.

Living with autoimmune diseases is unsettling as I never know when symptoms will occur and figuring out the cause can be tricky. Dr. Girnita, with compassion, warmth, and knowledge, helps me navigate my health journey. Knowing that she is accessible when I may need her is comforting. I recommend her services.
Petar M.
Hands down the best doctor. PERIOD!
I could end the review here with a complete mic drop. But I will elaborate further so other potential patients can get a picture of why I think that.
The whole experience, from intake to the end of my patient relationship with the doctor has been a straight 5-star experience.
She and her team were easy to deal with. Setting up an appointment was easy, the day of the appointment was easy. The patient portal was much better and easier to use than any other doctor I've seen.
But the best of all: Her listening skills and empathy.
So many doctors today make you feel more like a customer than a patient. Where your wait time in the lobby is longer than the time you get to see the doctor. Not Diana. She made me feel heard and cared for.
She takes the time to actively listen to your concerns. She then addresses them and answers questions with great care and empathy. This point deserves to be repeated: Diana listens to you. She then answers questions with empathy, and at a level where I, as a non-medical professional can understand.
I, together with many others have gotten fed up with the excessive tipping culture in the service industry lately. But if I could, and if it were ethical, I'd gladly give her the biggest tip.

Dr. Girnita, has provided exceptional care. I have been impressed by her patience and thoughtfulness to formulate a plan that I am comfortable with which is nearly unheard of in todays healthcare system. I am grateful to have found Dr. Girnita and would recommend her to friends and family if they are ever in need of a Rheumatologist as she cares for her patients and it shows. Thank you!
Marta S.
I am a patient of Dr. Girnita and I am so grateful for her because she is helping me. Rheumatoid arthritis runs in my family. I do not have it, but there is a risk of getting it if I do not take care of it with supplements that will help me So I am doing the recommended protocol of taking different supplements to help my body and also protect my body. I really do love working with Dr. Girnita, she is so knowledgeable and educated and has warm and kind Personality. I was having some other issues with my feet and she was able to recommend products that I needed so that I could work through these issues.
Stacia B.
Very thorough and responsive!
Ariane K.
I sought out Dr. Girnita for a second opinion on my rheumatic symptoms and my diagnosis, after having a series of life threatening medical catastrophes due to the poor care I received where I live. I chose her due to her specialty in the neurological complications of Sjogren's. She was nothing short of fantastic. Like night and day compared to most of the local doctors I've seen who have been so unhelpful, exceeding my expectations both in her professionalism and knowledge of this condition, and in her genuine kindness and amazingly attentive and caring manner. She did a detailed assessment of my medical history and symptoms, and provided an equally detailed report/consult note, and followed up with me on the tests she ran. She answered several questions about medical mysteries I've had for many years, and had never been able to get help with previously. My only complaint is that I can't make a clone of her, to have her as my local doctor! If you need a second opinion, or are in one of the states she can provide ongoing care for, do not hesitate. She is one of these mythical unicorn doctors we all only wish to find.

I have to take this opportunity to express all our gratitude to
Dr. Diana Girnita MD.
In our family we have a pacient with an advanced case of psoriasis.
For a long time, we ,as parents, tried to find the best , easy, most reliable way to handle this harsh reality.
We found about the possibility of reaching out to a specialty physician, via telemedicine , after several opinions.
Before this experience , we did not know how this type of consultation works. We imagined that complex, time consuming protocols will be involved.
After a brief introduction, Dr. Girnita , which made us feel comfortable, took a detailed approach , asking questions, giving us the opportunity to bring most of our concerns, calm , with sincere interest.
We received specific suggestions and we were requested to perform complex tests and blood work.
Ultimately , after a thorough evaluation of our case, we received detailed, specific diagnostic, a program for future care and prescription with absolutely easy to reach pharmacy.
We did all this from our home…
Our family ,together, is feeling like we found and added a new member , a doctor of knowledge and soul.
Five stars are not enough to show where Dr. Diana Girnita MD. and her practice stands…
Gladly and committed we are recommending Rheumatologist on Call….

Dr. Girnita treated my son for an autoimmune disease. She was by far the most caring and totally emerged in his treatment. He is in remission due to her knowledge and experience. Thank you for your quick attention to his needs.
Diane L.
What a great experience - world apart from the assembly line too many doctors’ offices have become. Dr. Girnita is highly knowledgeable while also being an excellent communicator. She explained everything carefully then listened patiently, answered all our questions, and was extremely helpful in offering alternate solutions for additional testing. She is an excellent diagnostician and her follow-up was fast and concise. We highly recommend her practice.
Victoria H.
I highly recommend Dr. Diana Girnita. I was very happy with my experience with her from start to finish. She took the time to listen to me and was very kind and caring. I loved how she reviewed my whole case and all of my medical records, I had a lot of paperwork and she took the time to go through it all and review it with me to make sure we didn’t miss a thing. I never felt rushed whatsoever like I have before in other places. Dr. Girnita is so smart and knowledgeable in her field. She truly cares about her patients. She always kept in touch and kept me up to date on everything. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. Thank you for everything Dr. Girnita!
Sabrina C.
Dr. Girnita is an exceptional physician and human. She is the most caring physician I have had the opportunity to work with. She puts her patients before herself, making herself available outside working hours, and responds very quickly to care and prescription needs. She is highly knowledgeable both in her specialty and as a primary care physician, and looks at her patients from a holistic perspective rather than individual parts to diagnose. I will continue choosing Dr. Girnita as my physician of choice for the foreseeable future!

I have recommended her to all my family and friends.

I’m so lucky to be Dr Girnita’s patient. From the moment I met her she’s been very helpful, always answering my questions and giving me useful tips on adapting my lifestyle to diminish the symptoms of my autoimmune disease. Not only is she a great doctor with a lot of experience, she’s also a great person.
Daniela I.
Thanks God for Dr.Girnita! Finally I was able to have a diagnostic and treatment to my mornings body aches and pains. Dr. Diana listened so patiently to my complaints and stories of pain episodes, she took time to explain all the abnormal blood tests results, causes and effects and how to start managing and treat them that I was able to gain back my self confidence and trust in my body. Not even 6 months since I had the first appointment with Dr. Girnita and I am a different person, more energetic, work out more and recently started moderate hiking! I definitely recommend her!

Nicoleta V.
It was a wonderful experience, with all questions answered and many useful practical tips. Mrs. Dr. Girnita inspires confidence, and the medical professionalism she showed helped me to understand much better what the challenge and problems of an autoimmune disease involve. Life as a patient is much better with such a doctor by your side!
Nina K.
I've been seeing Dr. Girnita for about 4 months with unknown joint pains along with rashes for the last 2 years. My primary and other rheumatologist was only doing bunch of blood work for about a year. Unfortunately, all my lab work came negative and I was just getting worse to the point that I could not walk.
My life was so miserable until I saw Dr. Girnita's YouTube series of autoimmune disease. I had to reach out Dr. G about a week later and right away I scheduled for oncall meeting. The first day I met Dr. G, she was so different from the other doctors I've been seeing. She was listening to my pain and she was absolutely amazing with full of knowledge to go beyond and above the expectations with caring.
With her outrageous field of experience has come down to diagnosed me with psoriatic arthritis.
I am currently on a treatment and seeing so much improvement.
Thank you Dr. Girnita, you are my life savior!!

Dulari C.
I have been struggling for the last 15 months with extreme fatigue/dizziness/painful joints in legs and arms. I have seen a lot of doctors and specialist with no concrete diagnosis except that it may be long haul Covid related but no specific treatments available. I have been waiting to see local rheumatologist but the wait is so long. In the mean time I contacted Dr Girnita to get a second option. It was convenient to contact Dr Girnita and get an online appointment within few days. Dr Girnita reviewed all my medical records from the past year and as half before my appointment. During my online appointment, I found Dr Girnita kind, approachable, quite knowledgeable, knew my medical history well, put ease to some medical concerns I had and best of all gave me potential diagnosis and treatment option. I will be pursuing the treatment with the local rheumatologist since Dr Girnita does not practice in my state. I highly recommend Dr Girnita as a rheumatologist or even to get second opinion.

Dr. Girnita is a kind, caring doctor. She is incredibly thorough and looks at the big picture. I live in the Seattle area and had a Zoom visit. The cost was reasonable and totally worth Dr. Girnita’s expertise. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a second opinion. I was also able to get an appointment in less than a week! Thank you for your YouTube videos and medical practice “Rheumatologist on Call” Dr. Girnita. You are offering a wonderful service to people in need.
Salma K.
Dr. Diana is really a very professional talented doctor! I came out to know her through her youtube channel. She posted a-lot of up to date scientific information, which helped me alot. I booked with an appointment and they way she approach and cares for you during the visit and after is just amazing ! And she ensures also to educate you about your disease, medication and any possible side effects. In addition to pays alot of attention to screen you for any possible disease complications or effects on other organs.
God bless her ❤️
God bless her ❤️

I felt as though I was out of options but I decided to try Dr. Girnita and boy am I glad I did! She's patient and actually LISTENS to you before she puts together a treatment. I would highly recommend.
J W.
Dr Girnita was so kind and helpful! She really listened to me and spent the time reviewing all my many labs and explained things so well and simply for me! Thank you so much Dr!
Joseph V.
This is one of those reviews where you feel compelled to warn others. Dr. Girnita was not helpful at all, cold bedside manner, gaslight a variety of clinical symptoms, randomly picks and chooses which positive lab markers to ignore. I have wasted 750 dollars in just two visits. If you don’t fit a basic cookie cutter rheumatology diagnosis she won’t help you regardless of your level of suffering.
Adelina G.
The doctor lady proved to be a true professional who empathizes with the patient, she is very empathetic and is the first doctor who offered me a diagnosis combining medication with a new healthier lifestyle (exercise, diet, mindset). It started to have an effect on me in about 2 weeks and I got rid of back and bone pains. So, for me, it was miraculous!
Jamie
Dr. Girnita is a kind, compassionate doctor who focuses on the best care with the most reasonable price model. I would highly recommend her and wish doctors in all specialties operated with her same motivations and business acumen.

CANNOT SAY HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR DR. GIRNITA. IT IS SUCH A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE TO HAVE A DOCTOR THAT REALLY THOUGHTFULLY LISTENS TO YOU AND PAYS ATTENTION.
Teoka Redd’s S.
First of all, I would like to start off by saying that my review on this Rheumatologist is long over-due. I've never encountered a doctor so patient, compassionate, smart, and thorough. I flew in from a different state and it was worth the trip. She took the time to go through countless records including labs. I'd been blown off by a couple doctors and was so disappointed. I'd been battling against severe joint pain, muscle pain, dry eyes, dry mouth, teeth decay, hair loss etc. The only amswers I was getting pertaining to my symptoms is they were mainly attributed to my arthritis/fibromyalgia diagnosis, However, Dr. Girnita looked at the whole picture. What I've noticed since starting on her recommended medication regimen is less pain in my thighs so far. Oh well, I'll take whatever relief I can get! With her help, I'm hoping to see even more improvement. In addition, she took the time to address my mental health as well. Thanks Dr. Girnita, I am forever grateful 🥲
Valerie D.
About six years ago, I began experiencing numbness in my hand, which worsened over time. Some of my fingers started to deviate and show deformities. Despite this, doctors did not provide effective assistance. I even drove to Austin, where a specialist suggested wrist surgery after merely a brief examination of my hands. A similar experience occurred in Houston, where the doctor hardly examined my hands, ran no tests, and scheduled surgery. I didn't trust them and am glad I didn't proceed with the surgery. It seemed none of the doctors listened or were able to diagnose me correctly. I also saw a rheumatologist where I live; he looked at my hands once and never ran a test. Only injected my wrists with cortisone. He was putting a bandage on my disease and was doing nothing to slow it down. He also misdiagnoses me and said I had osteoporosis. After many attempts to get this doc to do more and 8 month of terrible care I stopped going. Then I found a reputable rheumatologist in San Antonio but had to wait three months to see him. That's an eternity when you suffer.
I had researched extensively about my symptoms and was convinced I knew what was wrong; I just needed a doctor who could confirm it. I believed I had psoriatic arthritis and was getting progressively worse, desperate to find the right doctor. That's when I considered looking online instead of waiting three month and found Dr. Girnita. She listened attentively and immediately suggested that I have psoriatic arthritis. She recognized the severity of my condition and didn't waste time prescribing medications that had failed in the past. She ordered a comprehensive set of blood work and X-rays to confirm inflammation, etc. Following this, she processed everything through my insurance, and three days later, it was approved for Humira.
Dr. Girnita is the best doctor I've ever had; she is likely saving my life and livelihood. I believe I will get better thanks to her now. I am very grateful.

Finally a doctor that listens and provides a space to discuss symptoms and is not dismissive. If you want a great Rheumatologist, that is knowledgeable, caring and ensures you have a solid understanding of your condition, Dr. Girnita is the one to choose. She identified a condition that other doctors have missed for decades...Could not look for a better M.D.
Dan
Absolutely amazing! Promptness, thoroughness, care, and expertise. I received, and continue to receive, excellent healthcare service from Dr. Girnita.
Linda F.
Having been diagnosed with an illness that required immediate treatment from a rheumatologist --to prevent debilitating consequences--I was beyond grateful that my daughter found Dr. Girnita online. I have now recovered but for most of the past year, I was under her care. The treatment and follow-ups were monitored carefully. I could contact her with any questions, any anxiety or any concerns and her responses were immediate. This kind of care was priceless...and something that should be emulated by more physicians.
Carlos G.
Very pleasant and professional Rheumatologist. Great listener. Very pleased with initial consultation.
Stacey J.
Finding Dr. Girnita was an absolute gift! She is caring, kind, compassionate and so accessible. I was able to make my initial appt for a consultation, have my blood test done and get results + follow up and recommendations all within a two week time frame. She went above and beyond- I just cannot say enough about Dr. Girnita and her amazing team! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Wendy S.
My naturopath referred me to Dr. Girnita, and I am floored by the level of attention and care I've received so far. I feel seen and heard! It's early in the process, but the entire team has been extremely responsive and thorough with testing and helping facilitate multiple tests in an efficient and timely manner. While I have yet to arrive at a diagnosis, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Girnita and her team if you are hoping to get to the bottom of a hard-to-diagnose autoimmune condition.
Victoria P.
Sophisticated medical care delivered so quickly and with great attention to detail. Dr. Girnita and her staff have figured out how to take care of patients for a reasonable cost and with such ease on Zoom. She takes plenty of time to make sure you understand (and rheumatology isn't easy to understand), her followup is prompt, if only every doctor visit could be like this. Many times you might need hands on from a doctor, but so often you don't. She ordered all the imaging and lab tests I needed, made sure I didn't overpay for them, and gave me a lot of confidence in how to manage going forward. I'm still waiting on a call back from a local rheumatologist to even get an appointment, and have already been seen twice by the caring Dr. G. Worth every penny!
Adam S
Dr. Girnita has been wonderful to work with. She's available, responsive, and thoughtful and most importantly she helped improve my knee pain.

I highly recommend Dr. Girnita for Rheumatology care. She is a brilliant doctor and offers a wealth of knowledge and a systemic evaluation of patients with complicated clinical presentations. Scheduling was an extremely smooth process and I especially appreciated the ability to have my patient join for the peer to peer consult. Dr. Girnita offered a comprehensive clinical impression and treatment options for patient care. A full consult note was provided following the visit. I will definitely use Dr. Girnita in the future.

Terri M.
Let me preface this by saying that I am a private person and never leave reviews. I can assure you- Dr. Girnita has been nothing short of a God send. I am truly grateful and consider myself blessed to have found her. I have been very discouraged in trying to find competent and knowledgeable providers. After years of enduring dismissed concerns (and I am a provider myself!), Dr. Girnita and Darren were so helpful to me in becoming established and receiving a prompt appointment. This practice is responsive, professional, and pays great attention to detail. I live in a completely different time zone, and there has never been a time that Dr. G has not responded to my questions, health updates, or even a comment. I feel very heard and cared for under Dr. G’s care. I would rate 10 stars if I could.
Kari R.
Dr. Girnita is very thorough and takes the time needed to appropriately address needs and concerns.

I really like Dr. Girnita!! She has amazing knowledge and a wonderful bedside manner! I love how she looks at your health holistically. And she moves quickly to get you feeling better as soon as possible. Thank you for your wonderful care, Dr. Girnita!!
Michael H.
Dr Girnita is amazing. One of the best doctors I’ve ever gone to see. She cares about you and takes the time to explain things so you understand. And besides all of that, she looks at the big picture with your health instead of just her specialties, and recommends the correct other specialists to see if necessary. And she also deep dives on your medical history. I haven’t seen another doctor be that thorough. She also responds to messages quickly and reliably, and knows a ton about different areas besides just rheumatology. I can’t thank her enough for all of her help on my journey to figure out what was going wrong with my body.
Veronica F.
A great alternative to in -network specialists. The waiting time in my area for an appointment with a rheumatologist was 6 months. I got my appointment and started treatment in 6 days. Responsive, caring and professional.

Dr. G is the best of the best. High empathy, creative, and tenacious. She cares about the person. She goes way above and beyond to get the right treatment, meds, and help in place. She's by far the best doctor I've ever worked with. So grateful to have found her!

After leaving multiple messages for my regular Rheumatologist (of about 8 years) to schedule an appointment, but not hearing back (to date I have still not gotten a return call), I decided to browse online for a Rheumatologist near me. I also entered prompts for diet and nutrition to maybe find a Rheumatologist that might consider my thoughts on food's link to health. This is how I found Dr. Girnita. I figured I could schedule an appointment with her and wait to see either her or my regular Rheumatologist, whoever became available first. I was surprised I was able to schedule an appointment with Dr. Girnita as early as the next morning! My initial consultation with her was a full hour, with much of the appointment me detailing my situation and expressing my concerns and what I was looking for in a doctor. She has a sweet, soothing voice and a very reassuring demeanor. I really felt heard. She didn't dismiss my thoughts on food and health. She is well-versed not only in traditional medicine but in nutrition as well. She is very knowledgeable, but never condescending. She never interrupted me and often asked if I had any questions before proceeding with her advice. Even at the 1 hour mark, she made sure all my questions were answered before ending the meeting. Outside of that, she is available by email or phone for any questions. I was a bit jaded and skeptical that maybe at my follow-up appointment Dr. Girnita might not be as available as the initial consultation. I was wrong. I was able to schedule a follow-up appointment as soon as I wanted. While my appointment was 10am, I got a call/text from her almost 20 minutes earlier, letting me know she was available to start earlier if I was available!! That was so unbelievable, I even texted my husband at work to let him know. His response? "Wow!!" He was used to getting texts from me as I sat in my former Rheumatologist's lobby for 45 minutes to an hour saying, "still waiting!" Dr. Girnita is extremely knowledgeable (and has all the education, degrees, and credentials to back it up) yet she never makes me feel like any of my questions are "dumb questions." She freely shares her knowledge and information. She's even compiled a list of supplements and other helpful items for patients who ask her for recommendations. For example, my fingers have been pretty tight lately and she recommended a paraffin soak. I had never heard of that! To summarize this lengthy review for someone who doesn't have the time to read the whole thing: Dr. Girnita is an honest, kind, caring, professional, knowledgeable, skilled, and trustworthy physician who puts patients over profit. I highly recommend her for you and your health!!

Dr Girnita is very knowledgeable and works hard to see the entire picture for her patients. She listens to her patients and sympathizes with how they feel. She is currently helping me with a diagnosis that is complex but she isn’t quitting to figuring out what’s going on with me. So grateful to have found her.
Madalina T.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Mrs. Dr. Girnita Diana for all the recommendations. In addition to the fact that she treats the patients' bodies with professionalism and empathy, she also treats their souls and psyches at the same time. Millions of thanks from Romania
Yupeng K.
Considering the current US health care system, Rheumatologist oncall and Dr Diana is an unbelivable miracle!!! If you do not believe, please read my mom's experiences below. My mon, in her 70s, came to US to visit my family. Due to the covid pandemic, she could not return home. Unfortunately, she started building pains in multiple joints, such as ankle, knee, elbow, shoulder, etc, such symptoms progressed very quickly and severly. My mom could not walk without the help of walker in a very short time. Her symptoms cannot be relieved with acupuncture, plaster, heating pad. So, I know this is something severly, based on my limited medical knowledges, I suspected that my mom probably has rheumatoid arthritis based on her symptoms, and it was demonstrated with some blood lab works, which showed high level of CCP factor, high level of sedimentation rate, and high level of C reactive protein, which was ordered online and no health insurances needed with self pay.
The tougher situation stared from there, where my mom could be treated??? My mom visited me without health insurance. Even with it, as you know, to get RA treated, you need to find a general doctor, he/she can refer you to a RA specialist, and you need to wait at least several months to see the RA doctor. Have to say, this makes no sense, but unfortunately it is a typical process. For RA patients, it is a terribly wrong process. RA can progress very fast, it attacks not only joint, but also lung, heart ,and other organs, with couple of months of wait, patient can be severely damaged and this process may be irreversible. Even though, such further damage may not happen, how can a patient stand with such pains daily?
It is lucky for me to find rheumatologist oncall and Dr. Diana through internet. Diana is very professional and works very fast and effectively. She cares about my mom's overall health conditions, not only RA. After more lab tests, she prescribed medicine for my mom with thorough assessment of her past medical history. There are several kinds of generic medicines which can deal with RA, Diana made a careful choice to select from them in order to prevent from triggering severe side effect. Even though the medicine she prescribed is not expensive and not very strong regarding to suppressing the overwhelming immune reaction for RA, it is very effective for my mom's condition, her pain, swelling, numbness in her joints have significantly alleviated, she can walk for a distance without walker now. All this happened just in 4 months since she started with the treatment with Diana. If there were no Rheumatologist oncall and Dr.Diana, my mom even could not have seen a RA specialist in 4 months even with health insurance.
I highly recommend Dr. Diana and her business -- Rheumatologist oncall, for the treatment of immune disorder diseases, such as RA, such diseases can progress very fast, at least, you need some fast action to deal with them, Thanks, Dr.Diana!

I was under the care of Dr. Girnita for several months and was very grateful for her advice and guidance as I worked through some health issues. Dr. G was responsive to my questions, spent plenty of time listening to my concerns and providing suggestions to improve my health. It was so refreshing to be able to access a top tier rheumatologist within a matter of days. Additionally, her staff were very friendly and responsive. Overall my experience was unlike any other I have had with medical professionals in a very positive way.
Shary V.
Helped a physician from MN clarify a diagnosis for my patient with a good history and review of her records. Highly recommend to other DPC practices!!
Zane B.
Dr. Girnita was very kind and professional. She listened to me and is helping get answers for diagnosis and plan.

Very helpful and considerate. I felt like my health is in good hands
Casey B.
Dr. Girnita is amazing! She really took the time to listen and diagnose my mother-in-law after many years been under treated by her primary care physician. I saw her and my wife struggles trying to manage the arthritis pain and symptoms progressing over the last 2 years. Thank to Dr. Girnita we found out she has RA and finally can have a proper treatment and manage her pain correctly. I highly recommend!
Marla A.
I cannot adequately convey in words how happy and grateful I am with Dr. Girnita! She took her time with me…listening, asking questions, explaining, and so forth. It was evident that she sincerely cares and wants to help. Her knowledge and expertise was clear. I feel Blessed to have found her, and look forward to getting my quality of life back. Highly recommend!!!

Amazing Rheumatologist - really was easily reached and always responded quickly. Gave me extensive information on my condition and investigated my case and all the proper bloodwork.

Dr Girnata identified my problem today.
I have RA not some of the other diseases that previous Drs suggested.I am looking forward to finding the best possible solutions.

Direct Primary Care has always appealed to me because standard Medical Insurance has so much confusion, waiting, and bureaucracy. Dr. Girnita has been so kind and is always available to me, she listens and tries to work with what I am willing to do. She has made the process of getting Labs done and prescriptions ordered very smooth and easy.

RIGHT DOCTOR, RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT PRICE
After unsuccessfully locating a rheumatologist to take my referral, no assurance the service would be paid for, plus a several months wait, I thought there HAD to be a better way. I needed someone to help explain my lab tests and guide me on the next steps. Thanks to Google search for bringing up Dr. Diana Girnita from Rheumatologist on-call. She is a compassionate and experienced physician who immediately put me at ease. She is unrushed and generous with her time. I joined as a member which costs less than my current insurance plan for MD visits plus labs. I also utilized her abundant and elegant educational resources and classes. Following her nutrition and exercise advice my labs returned to normal. Wow, now this IS health care.

Diana Girnita is my primary care doctor. I have decided to start this journey with her after experiencing the work of many primary care doctors in the US. Once I started working with Diana, I knew this would be a long term relationship. She was the first doctor who asked me about my sleep, nutrition, supplements, activity levels and lifestyle and compared that to my blood tests and results, explaining the connections coherently. Moreover, she spends the time to explain and ask questions, much more than other doctors I have worked with and this is something that I truly value in a primary care physician.
Anca Oana D.
The best rheumatologist. I was diagnose with a disease that at the beginning scared me a lot thinking that I will become invalid in time and Dr Girnita make me see all the story from another perspective. She presented me the situation from a holistic point of view, giving me advices on how I can decrease the body inflammation by modifying my diet and lifestyle. She don’t treat the disease, she treats the patient and by making a correct evaluation of the whole situation she succeed to improve the quality of patient’s life. Chronic inflammatory diseases needs correct evaluation and monitoring in order to succeed patient satisfaction and this is what Dr Girnita is doing.
Serena T.
She is amazing! Helped me so much and would recommend everyone to make an appointment. Not only is she listening to your problems, her knowledge is very impressive! Dr.G will help you not only with medication, she will give you advice on so many levels. A real life saver!
Tatiana B.
In my journey with Long Covid ,I have met many types of doctors.
Sadly not even a handful of truly amazing and very caring doctors.
Dr.Girnita is one of those doctors who will do extra for her patients.
When I was told she is not licensed in my state and if I want to keep my appointment it will be only a consultation. I was nervous, because I wondered if I will get the answers I am looking for. Dr. Girnita called me in the next 5 min- reassured me she will respond all my questions, look at my blood results and will advise me what to do next. She even called my doctor made a treatment plan.
It really stood up to me how she wanted she hear my story. To know me better. She calmed me, supported me . Told me I can reach her with any advice or questions.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the help.

Dr. Girnita is an excellent clinician. She has that hard to find mix of being both knowledgeable and personable, competent and empathetic. She has a somewhat unique practice model that is likely to become increasingly common in the future. I very much feel her expertise is worth the expense and likely saves money for patients in the long run. I highly recommend!
Carmen A.
Easy to obtain appointments. The office staff is so nice and willing to help. And the doctor is amazing.
Kelley L.
100% amazing experience working with Dr. Girnita, and will continue to consult with her during my healing journey. Her empathy, support and knowledge of her speciality helped me tremendously during a very challenging time in managing my health and I would be lost without her. Recommended!!!
Victoria P.
I finally met a doctor that took a comprehensive look at my health history and was willing to try until we saw improvements. A doctor that is not only a specialist but one that has extensive knowledge of clinical research in many areas and doesn't just follow checklists. I strongly recommend her!
Pinaki G.
Dr Girnita is very prompt, compassionate, and forthcoming doctor. She took my case when other Rheumatologists had long wait time, helped me through multiple (maybe) unrelated physical problems. The quick on call response you can get with Dr Girnita is unparalleled.
Kerry W.
Dr. Girnita has been amazing. I stumbled across Rheumatologist OnCall after enduring lots of problems from a mis diagnosed issue. Dr Girnita listened very carefully, reviewed my records, made a diagnosis and prescribed treatment that has literally given me mobility back. She is a great partner to have when you are dealing with autoimmune disease and am so thankful to be working with her.
Caitlyn H.
I have 24/7 access to Dr. Girnita for any healthcare questions. I've had a better experience with her than my previous doctors because my concerns are taken seriously as well.
Aleksei Z.
Helped my mom with the severe pain in her hand. My mom is very happy with the treatment.
Rishika S.
I am a physician and dealing with joint pain for close to 2 years with development of recent changes. The providers in primary care that I have seen have discounted all these symptoms as mechanical/stress related. I had to demand a referral to a rheumatologist and was referred to one with a wait time of 3 months. This is when I looked online and found Dr Girnita. She listens to you, validates your concerns and helps you find answers you have been looking for. The appointment is not rushed and you have the attention of your doctor for a whole hour. I have been in healthcare for 10 years now and this is a rare thing to get. She even contracts with lab companies to offer you discounted prices.If you have been struggling with pain and are having a hard time finding a rheumatologist, I would pick Dr Girnita!
Deepthi M.
Dr. Diana is very approachable and thorough. I was unable to find a rheumatologist who could see me urgently to go over some reports. Dr Diana went through all my reports with me and gave me a detailed plan on how to navigate my health concerns. It boosted my confidence and gave me a lot of mental relief. She is amazing and highly recommend to anybody needed rheumatological help.
Travis
Dr. Girnita has been an absolute lifesaver! She was able to see me within days of contacting her office. She offers amazing clinical advice, affordable services, and extremely responsive communication. She has not only brought me peace of mind, but superb health care.
Steve R.
Diana Girnita is an excellent rheumatologist who has put together a brilliantly innovative way of offering her services. Her system is especially applicable to treatment of chronic disease. It gives patients much greater access to her while also providing cost predictability and lower prices. All of these things are difficult to achieve with the standard insurance/ fee-for-service model, yet are highly important for health conditions where the severity fluctuates and which may cause periods of crisis. Plus, Dr. Girnita is a warmly compassionate person who is honestly concerned with your welfare and inspires trust. I actually looked forward to our appointments. My polymyalgia was frightening to me but successfully resolved under her treatment, with no lasting side effects. I am a very satisfied ex-patient.
Ramona D.
Shauntae P.
Dr. Girnita is great! She was able to see me way sooner than any local rheumatologist, and from the comfort of my own home, and she seems very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend.
Lin C.
I highly recommend Dr. Girnita. After four months spent visiting 26 different physicians, multiple labs, CAT scans and MRIs, I found Dr. Girnita who immediately recognized my auto-immune condition and started me on treatment. In addition to her medical competence, I appreciate that Dr. Girnita responds quickly to my needs, and formulated a treatment plan respecting my wishes. I am sorry that I didn't find her sooner.
Thi V.
Dr. Girnita is very knowledgeable, informative and so easy to talk to. She has such a great bedside manner. I am a primary care physician (PCP) who have referred to her, and my experience has been great thus far. My patient also speaks highly of Dr. Girnita. She truly listens to her patients and is very compassionate. As a PCP, I love that she consistently keeps you in the loop and keeps open communication with both you and the patient. I highly recommend Dr. Girnita at Rheumatologist OnCall; you will not regret it. I would go to her myself! I'd also give more starts if it were allowed!
Alexis H.
Dr. Girnita is kind and thorough. She listens when you speak, and makes clear the plan for care going forward. She makes every interaction useful and makes it a priority to help her patients in as timely a manner as possible. She has made a difficult situation as pleasant as possible and it is wonderful to work with her.
Lucy H.
Dr. Girnita is amazing! I have been working with her for the past few months and I’m amazed that my health has improved tremendously. I had severe health problems, after seeing several practitioners who didn’t listen to me or understand my concerns, I found Dr. Girnita. She was very patient, provided detailed explanations, ran thorough labs and her treatments were helpful. I felt heard, cared and am so glad that she treated my problems. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a doctor who listens to you and believes in holistic medicines.
Glen and Tania H.
5 stars all the way! Dr. Girnita is a complete game changer when it comes to Rheumatology care. I don't have the time or patience to deal with driving to the Houston Med Center. Especially during covid, I didn't want to spend long hours in a doctors office.
So I found Dr. Girnita and she is awesome. She is caring and patient with me. Everything is done thru video calls and she has helped me greatly with RA treatment that we both like. She has even helped me with sinus infections and other health care. My favorite part is she is very supportive and helpful with vitamins, supplements and alternative options to go along with RA meds. You won't regret trying Dr. Girnita ❤️

For some of you reading this review, this might be your 4th, 8th, or even 20th rheumatologist or specialist you’ve been considering. Every other doctor has dismissed you and your symptoms- whether it’s all “in your head”, you look “healthy” on the outside, or perhaps they labeled you with a generic syndrome because they don’t know what’s wrong with you. All of those descriptions were given to me by various doctors over the course of the last three years. Quite frankly, I had given up on getting any help from the medical community- the constant letdown of not getting heard or helped was too much for me (not to mention the cost, inconvenience, time, effort, etc). I had to stop working for nearly two years because of the pain and symptoms I was encountering. If any of the above sounds like your story, or you KNOW something is not right with your health even though the doctor tells you he can’t find anything wrong, you’ve come to the right place.
Dr Girnita is that special kind of doctor that you hear of - the unicorn that others say exists, but you can never find. From the ease of accessing her, to her kindness and compassion, to her medical expertise, Dr Girnita is the best blessing to enter my life in many years. Dr G does not have a three month wait list, nor does she only spend 7 minutes with you each appointment- I was able to see her for an initial consultation within two business days. Dr G spent AN HOUR with me- asking me questions, educating me, and trying to understand my situation. After my first appointment with her, I knew my life was finally going improve because I had found that rare doctor that actually cares about YOU as a person- she has a true passion for medicine and moreso, for helping others. She is a genuine person and I completely trust her with my health. She is very intelligent, well educated, and makes rational decisions in regards to what mediations and treatments are best- and she treats the WHOLE PERSON. My blood work doesn’t always meet the basic criteria for specific diagnosis’s but that doesn’t mean I’m not sick. Dr G will work methodically to figure out the culprit of your issues, and I appreciate that she is not quick to throw out a diagnosis without due process.
Dr Girnita has a wonderful medical business model that makes her affordable, accessible and free of many of the cumbersome restrictions and of the long waits that you typically encounter in most medical practices. Being under her care means having a doctor that will advocate for you. I suggest that you make an initial consultation as soon as you can, to get the relief you desperately need (and deserve). Now is the time to start taking back your life. As Dr G says, “you are NOT your disease!”

Dr. Girnita is a very knowledgeable physician who took her time and offered an integrative approach to my concerns. I feel very lucky in finding her and I will definitely recommend her services to anyone interested. Her approach is far superior than your regular physician visit. During the one hour visit I never felt rushed and she took the time to address all my concerns and to answer all my questions.
Claudia B.
Dr G is deeply knowledgeable and a very kind doctor. I would have had to wait months for a rheumatologist to see me in Boston. Nobody feels comfortable waiting months for medical issues. I found her online, read her credentials (Harvard is one of them) and reached out for an online consult. The online consult proved to be more comprehensive than my first appointment (in person) in Boston. The best part is that I was able to get an hour long video consult appointment the next day. She ran some bloodwork that she thought was overlooked. I did it at my local Quest with her lab orders. Since then she has provided me with empowering feedback and medical management. She is one of the best doctors I have worked with and that says a lot given that I mostly see top doctors in Boston. Thank you Dr. G!
Stephanie C.
I saw Dr Girnita at a different location. She is both incredibly competent and compassionate. She listened to my story, gave a diagnosis and then confirmed it with tests. She helped me navigate options to get to a better place. When I first saw her, I had been experiencing pain for months. She had both medication solutions and recommendations for lifestyle changes. She had great compassion for me as well while still covering a lot of the information I needed and answer questions. I highly recommend Dr. G!
Steve H.
I was very impressed with Dr. Girnita. She was interested, motivated, knowledgeable, and most of all helpful. I have an informed plan to address my concerns. She is simply excellent!
crisa s
Dr. Girnita was patient and thorough in evaluating my test results and "debugging" my possible diagnosis. She is very honest and transparent with admin/pricing and prompt with messaging and scheduling. Highly recommended.
Mel J.
Dr. G is really an absolute blessing! She is not only a passionate and gifted rheumatologist, but she's also one of the few specialists who have realized that there are thousands of patients who live in small, rural locations and who have a really tuff time getting access to quality specialist without having to travel long distances! She has also set up her practice so she can actually spend lots of quality time with each patient during their visits and I just really hope that as her practice grows, that she can continue with this as it really is unique in this day and age! I can't say enough about my experience with Dr. Girnita and I would absolutely recommend her to all my family and friends!
Diana
I can’t say enough about Dr. Girnita! She is kind and attentive. She wants to hear your concerns, educate you and figure out a health game plan together. She is detailed in all she does and wants you to give her as much information as possible. She also wants you to learn and give you other tools to better your health. She is compassionate but also tells you truth so to help you improve your health. She has been a blessing to me!
Charmaine M.
Dr. G was incredible. She listened to my health history and concerns thoroughly before offering her expertise and opinion. Her approach to health is wholistic as it encompasses all aspects of health including nutrition, sleep, meditation, exercise…I felt extremely comfortable sharing with her and appreciated her use of experience and knowledge. She was really able to connect with my apprehension for pharmaceutical therapy and eased my anxiety with personal experience and concrete data. She followed up with an email that contained referenced articles along with a phone call. She is an excellent human doing great work as a physician.
Brendon
Dr. Girnita is highly specialized and very much knows her stuff. Her empathy is top-rate, and she is by far and away the most responsive person I've ever dealt with in healthcare. She doesn't accept insurance, but it is definitely no-compromise care.
Lola M.
I found Dr. Girnita to be very knowledgeable and caring. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a professional Rheumatologist, a second opinion
on their current medication or cannot obtain an appointment with a Rheumatologist for a few months. I regret not getting on medication as soon as I was diagnosed 30 years ago to stop the disease from progressing.

Dr. Girnita is not your typical doctor. She spends an entire hour with you, asking clarifying questions, going over your medical history to understand your medical issues and come up with a treatment plan that is highly customized for you. She spends time before the appointment as well as after to get to the root of your issues. Dr. Girnita’s focus is on getting your health back on track not on just addressing your symptoms. Her approach is integrative, and teaches her patients how to change their lifestyles to get healthy. Her focus is her patients. I had the privilege to meet Dr. Girnita recently, and I am so grateful to have her as my doctor. She had addressed all my concerns while looking for the root cause of my health issues. Getting an appointment is very easy and you never have to wait months to see her. I highly recommend her services to everyone who is looking to fix the cause of their issues, and not just a band-aid for their symptoms. Dr. Girnita is the doctor of the future.
Chris H.
This doctor is absolutely wonderful! The local rheumatologist wouldn’t get me in for over three months and she got me in with almost no notice. she was very patient and answered all my questions and I can’t say enough good things about her.
Mary G.
One day, I received a call from my doctor and he told me that I had mixed connective tissue disorder and lupus. And then… He waited a month to see me. so I was left with unanswered questions and a worry unlike no other. How could I have lupus? I had no symptoms? What was MCTD exactly? Well…After getting diagnosed with Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder I did my research. I came across Dr. Girnita’s page while doing my research. After reading up on her, and everything she says, I made an appointment.
Let me tell you something, having someone so personable, helpful and knowledgeable was exactly what I needed. She helped me understand and explained my test results. My anxiety level went from a 10 to a 0 after my appointment with her. Even my husband noticed a difference.
Thank you Dr. Girnita for taking time to help me understand, review my results and talk to me as a person and not just a patient. I am forever grateful for you.

Wonderful experience with Dr Diana, she takes time the patient to help them with their health issues. Very easy to schedule an appointment and she answered all the questions that I had, you can have direct contact with her through the app and she explains in details all your lab results instead of just a quick call from the nurse as the other doctors do. Highly recommended.
Nanette P.
Diana is exceptionally caring and will go out of her way to make sure you get the best care.
M A
After getting a scary test result from a primary care doctor and was informed that it could take 6 months to a year before a local rheumatologist could see me, Dr. G was able to see me within a week and spent a lot of time examining me and addressing concerns raised by the test. Very professional and compassionate. All doctors should be this way.
Jan W.
During a most difficult time while searching for a doctor who could help me is diagnosing my condition, Dr. Girnita came to my rescue. She immediately recognized what my condition was, and gave me the confidence in understanding my disease and the knowledge I needed in how to address my condition. Without her help I would probably still be in pain and still searching for help. I will always be grateful for her expertise, but more importantly, for her true compassion and empathy for others she displays when she interacts with her patients. Thank you Dr.Girnita for your continual support for all us in our time of need.
Jessica M.
Dr Girnita's confident and calm demeanor is very appreciated, she explains things so naturally and you can feel assured that all considerations are taken.

Dr. Diana Girnita continues to exceed my expectations. She was the 2nd rheumatologist I worked with after receiving my diagnosis for an extremely rare autoimmune disease. From the first appointment she made me feel as though I was her most important patient. Her care and concern over the years has been valuable to me and my wife.
When she moved from Ohio I was referred to another doctor. After a very short period of time I came to know even better how truly valuable Dr. Girnita is to all of her patients, but, especially, to me. I reached out to her to see if there was a way to continue our doctor/patient relationship from a distance. To my surprise, I found that she had been able to make arrangements so that we could continue our relationship.
It's no exaggeration to say that Dr. Girnita has had a life-saving impact on our lives for which we will be forever grateful.
You will not find a more caring, knowledgeable doctor who takes the time needed to care for you as if you're her only patient.

For many years I was misdiagnosed and even led to believe I had lupus, Dr. Girnita properly diagnosed me with my many autoimmune disorders with a thorough blood panel giving results of hypothyroidism and sjogrens. I finally have answers! Thank you! With a long term future plan I expect to have a wonderful life!
Felicity D.
I had a virtual appointment with Dr. Girnita a few months ago for a hip bursitis. She was very professional and knowledgeable and gave me good advice on how to deal with it. Her caring follow up though was exceptional! For months she continued to periodically contact me to see how I was doing.
Matthew S.
Dr. Girnita was so willing to help and so informative. She listened and explained things so well. I would highly recommend Dr. Girnita; her telemedicine services are such a welcome addition to my care, making things so easy!

Dr. Girnita has significant teaching experience and has proven to be an excellent teacher and wonderful asset to the Rheumatology community. She is a multi-faceted woman that has inspired many to achieve meaningful careers in Rheumatology including myself. Her leadership role in developing increasing opportunities for the residents has developed new standards to Rheumatology applications and practice development. She is an excellent mentor and her development and reorganization has led to much more educationally based outpatient experience for trainees. I 100% recommend her in every level from a prior resident under her wing to the excellent rheumatologist that she is.

I met Doctor Girnita for the first time two and a half years ago, during a vulnerable time. She listened and cared for me with a kind of professionalism and dedication I have never seen before. She helped with my diagnosis and necessary treatment. She is a pillar of support for me in times of need and I love her dearly!

I've interacted with Dr. Girnita on numerous occasions. Always friendly, accessible and knowledgeable. I'd give six stars if I could!

Dr. Girnita is a wonderful, compassionate, caring, very knowledgeable rheumatologist, that I am so happy to call our doctor! Stellar credentials, Stanford and Harvard graduate, she went above and beyond, for each of my four family members (my mom and dad, both in their 70s, my husband and myself, early 50s) that needed a rheumatology consultation for different issues: osteoarthritis of the hip, back pain, shoulder pain and foot pain.
We all had telemedicine visits (we live in Los Angeles) in April and May (my husband and I, are doctors ourselves), it was a very easy process, from the video calls, to the reimbursements, scheduling the tests and follow up visits. Very transparent pricing, discounted lab visits, it was effortless from our part.
Telemedicine visits were so in depth, lasting one hour for the initial consultation and about 40 minutes the subsequent visits. I never had a doctor spend so much time with me for a consultation, taking into account the every aspect of the medical history and every detail that might be important for the diagnosis.
In addition to your rheumatology needs, I highly recommend Dr. Girnita for the nutrition and mindfulness consultation, she is an absolute goldmine of pertinent information.
I am considering the sign up for membership, since everything I need is part of the all inclusive, reasonable, monthly cost, and one enrollment fee.
Thank you Dr. Girnita, you are an amazing Doctor, so dedicated to the well-being of all your patients!

Dr. Girnita is an outstanding rheumatologist. Her superb credentials and keen clinical skills are matched by her full dedication to her patients. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Dr. Grinita is amazing. She is very friendly, empathetic and a very good listener. I haven’t had very good experience from my previous doctors as all were only concerned about healing me peripherally without worrying about the root cause. But Dr.Grinita spent a good amount of time trying to understand the symptoms and figure out the root cause. She is a thorough professional with extensive experience. All in all, she is wonderful and I highly recommend her.

I discovered telemedicine in May 2020, when I had a video consultation with Dr Girnita. What a revelation that was! To be able to choose from top specialists from other states and have a 45 min, uninterrupted session focused on my issue (osteoarthritis) from the comfort of my home. Dr Girnita is warm and personable and is incredibly knowledgeable and up to date with the latest research in her field. What won me over was that she really listened to me and the fact that she practices INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE -that holistic approach that takes into consideration not just he body, but also the lifestyle, the mind and soul of the patient. Dr. Girnita is truly committed to promoting deep healing and well-being.

I was 31 when I was finally diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. I am currently 45 years old and on biologics. Managing this disease still feels like a full time job, especially during a pandemic.
Fortunately, I have Dr. Girnita by my side, always there to inform me about the latest studies and to advise me on the best treatment course.

Dr. Girnita has treated me for gout and psoriatic arthritis for the last two years. She is always up to date with the treatment and has given me the best options for my case. She has convinced me to start antiinflammatory diet and now I feel so much better. I highly recommend her.

I am grateful to Dr. Diana Garnita for curing me from rheumatoid arthitis, and now i can finally walk without being in pain every time I stand up.Thank you!
Ana R.
Dr. Girnita is a very compassionate and knowledgable doctor who puts emphasis on treating the patient with the disease, not only the disease itself. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthiritis and i was reliefed to have her as my doctor and also almost as a companion throughout my journey. I was very glad to see the integrative approach towards disease, from suggestions regarding lifestyle changes to up to date and personalized medical treatment, according to my own needs. I would highly recommend her!

I met Dr. Girnita a few years ago looking for a rheumatologist for my autoimmune disease. She was so personable and professional and helped me tremendously. She was kind and always there when I needed her. I highly recommend her to all my friends and family!

I had my first appointment with Dr. Girnita today — I don’t know where to start. She is one in a million!!!!
She returns calls promptly, doesn’t rush you, listens with concern, interest, and compassion, is very knowledgeable, treats the total patient, provides valuable info about your diagnosis, treatment, diet, and offers an education site for her patients because she cares. I feel so blessed having found her. All the patient reviews I read prior to my appointment are spot on and truer than true.

Dr. Girnita has been kind, professional, caring and efficient from day one. She goes above and beyond the standard level of care. She is very responsive to any questions I may have. Dr. Girnita is very thorough, yet does so in a timely fashion. She is upfront and honest, which is very much appreciated. She is intelligent, level-headed and an all around good person.

Dr. Girnita was very thorough. Her knowledge of rheumatology is very strong. I would recommend Dr Girnita to anyone suffering with arthritis.

Dr. Girnita is personable and really took the time to make sure I understood everything she was explaining. From our first virtual meeting, she has been thorough with follow up, and quick to respond with any questions that I had. 10/10 would recommend!
Bob R.
I went to see Dr. Girnita after suffering from pain for 2 months anytime I moved any part of my body. After some blood tests, she told me that, "No matter what it is, we can handle it". I went home from that visit feeling very encouraged - for the first time in 60 days. She prescribed a medicine that eliminated all my pain in just one day. After a couple of weeks, she had me start reducing the dosage of that medicine. When a small amount of the pain returned, she moved me to a less powerful medicine. Throughout the entire process and 3 visits, she kept me wonderfully informed on what was going on, what the meds she was prescribing would do as well as any side effects, and answered all my questions in an easy to understand manner. I recommend Dr. Girnita highly. She solved a pain issue worse than any I've ever had.
Nancy A.
She is warm and caring and knows what I will ask even before I ask. She is just wonderful!

Today I got some AMAZING and heartbreaking news.... my Rheumatologist checkup was today and going in I already knew my blood work was good... But actually having my doctor tell me that all is well gives me so much more. Her words.. her tone... Her care... Her concern.. her continued vow that she will help me no matter what... Is her true POWER! She has helped me fight my hardest battle with my crazy unexpected autoimmune disease. She has gotten me to my stage of remission and I am forever greatful. She treated me like she would her own family... I was more than a patient to her... And she let me feel and know that. Today in my appt she told me she will no longer be with tri-health. Her husband got offered a job in another state and she will be moving. I'm overwhelmed with sadness and loss. She was and still is the doctor who saved my life and got me on a treatment plan that worked for me. This is the second time I have lost a world renowned Rheumatologist. My disease when first discovered in 2007... The doc was at a loss for what was going on. Research and knowledge of Vasculitis has GREATLY improved since I was originally diagnosed.. but in the interim I lost my first doctor. I was referred to Dr. Girnita and she was highly recommend that she would be the best for my care... And she is. I was worried getting new new doctor after being in remission for almost 9 years... But WOW... I was blessed. She has been nothing but exceptional and most of all concerned about what's best for me. I told her in EVERY single visit I had with her that I am very lucky to have her as my doctor..because she saved my life. In closing... Today me and her shed a tear together (well kinda...she told me not to cry because it would make her cry)... for the fact I am again in remission but also because she is a HUGE key in my life. I am going to miss her and I am beyond greatful for her being a part of my life... Not sure how I'm going to get by without her❤️❤️❤️. #lovemydoctor #vasculitissucks

Dr.Girnita is the absolute best! Clinically she cannot be outdone. Her kindness, personal attention and wholistic approach make her the whole package. You will not find better care anywhere and with telemedicine, now location is no longer a barrier to care. I feel absolutely blessed to be able to continue receiving her care out of state.

Dr Girnita is one of the healthcare professionals that put patients needs on first place. She's an exceptional listener and will find you the best treatment and disease management available. Not only exceptionally trained but an incredible well rounded physician.
Kathy P.
Dr Girnita was the first of 3 rheumatologist to actually spend time with me, learning about my symptoms, learning about my concerns, actually listening to me. After only 3 visits she had the tests and answers to diagnose me with Psoriatic Arthritis and start a treatment plan that has ended up putting me back on a path of a normal life without constant pain. When she left her practice in my hometown, she left me in good hands with a very capable fellow Rheumatologist. But she didn’t stop at that, she contacted me over the next few months to personally make sure that I was being taken care of. She spent over an hour texting with me on several occasions providing nutritional and lifestyle advice. Over the time that I have know Dr. Girnita, I can say she takes a very personal interest in every one of her patients. She continues her education to be a better doctor and she has truly become someone I consider a friend. Dr Girnita is truly a one of a kind doctor, that truly is in the field of health for her patient wellbeing and not just for the paycheck. I wish there were more like her today! Thank you for being my friend and Doctor!

There are not enough wonderful words to describe Dr. Girnita! She has set the bar for the physician of the twenty-first century. She is kind, caring, compassionate, and an excellent listener. Her patients' concerns are valued and questions are taken seriously. She cares about the whole person and the myriad of factors that influence a person's health and wellness. During this past year, she has worked tirelessly to uncover the mystery of my recent symptoms. She responds to my concerns the same day; she has referred me to like-minded colleagues; and she has given me helpful action -steps along the way. I can't imagine this past year without her support, experience, and friendship.
Katy V.
The quality of patient care that I have received from Dr. Girnita is incomparable. She has helped me to restore a good quality of life and renewed my faith in medical practice. She is quite literally the best doctor I have known. With a vast wealth of knowledge and high level of expertise paired with great dignity and respect for others, anyone in her care is truly blessed. She has a genuine sense of care and compassion. My patient evaluations are very thorough and fully encompassing to all aspects of my health and well being. Watching her work, for me as a patient, has been fascinating. She is extremely intelligent and confident, but (very importantly) not arrogant. She actively listens to every word I speak and lets nothing slip by without consideration. She has always been available for me and quick to respond. The quality of Dr. Girnita’s character is impeccable and her skill level is comparable to very few. She is the pinnacle of the medical profession and all doctors should aspire to replicate her standard of care. If you are fortunate enough to come under the care of Dr. Girnita, you will never want for another.

It is my experience that Dr Girnita is not just an excellent doctor but is also very personable and compassionate. I first saw her as a patient 4-1/2 yrs ago when I experienced an immediate onset of rheumatoid arthritis. I like to say she saved my life. She went into action right away and in a very short time my symptoms were minimized. She phoned me 3 days after my initial visit just to see how I was doing. In addition to improving the arthritis she prescribed medication which greatly improved my osteoporosis. I was so sad when Dr Girnita moved her practice to California. I miss her very much but she has been so kind to take time from her busy schedule to answer emails and even call me even though I’m no longer a patient. That shows how caring she is. I highly recommend Dr Girnita to anyone who is looking for a rheumatologist who goes above and beyond for the welfare of their patient.

Recently I sent one of my client to Dr. Girnita as she was suffering from some rheumatological disease that none of the doctors she has seen were considering as a problem. A 41 year old woman cannot pinch isn't a problem? Dr. Girnita made time asap to e-see her, yes as my client lives afar from where the dr is situated. They had a video call, my client sent her all the x-rays she had and Dr. Girnita figured out what it is. Not only she recommended a few medications, but a few natural remedies as well.
My client was extremely satisfied and as a health coach I can assure you that I wouldn't recommend anyone another reumathologist than Dr. Garnita.
She is kind, friendly, accomodating and last but not least a dedicated doctor!
Thank you Dr. Girnita!

We have been so pleased with Dr. Girnita. She has become a trusted resource for assistance with our patients who have rheumatologist concerns. Her educational webinars for rheumatology info for physicians have also been very helpful and are much appreciated.

The other day I had the pleasure of a telemedicine visit with Dr. Girnita. Normally, when referring to a doctor visit the word "pleasure" does not immediately come to mind. However, in this case that term is perfect. Dr. Girnita took a long time to carefully listen to my history and symptoms. In one interaction I felt that she understood my case much better than physicians who have known me for years. She is very polite and patient, but does not waste time getting to the heart of the matter. In one day she had summarized the visit and provided logical and easy to follow recommendations. In more than 20 years of speaking with doctors about my condition this is the first time I have information I can really use. I recommend her very highly and without any hesitation. She is what medicine used to be and could be again!
