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!
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.

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. 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 take the time to listen, explaining things clearly and she actually values your opinions for your treatments.
I'd give ten stars if it were allowed!
I have recommended her to all my family and friends.
If you are looking for a doctor who listens to you and really can help you, I highly recommend Dr Girnita. The best doctor ever!
I highly recommend her!
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!!
God bless her ❤️
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.
She:
-is very competent and professional
-is very good about explaining things clearly
-will go the extra mile
-is a pleasure to deal with
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 have RA not some of the other diseases that previous Drs suggested.I am looking forward to finding the best possible solutions.

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.
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.
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 ❤️
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!”
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.
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.
-Mary
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.
Sincerely - Jenny Stadtmiller
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!
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.
I highly recomend Dr Diana Girnita and her practice, Rheumatologist OnCall.
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.

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!
