Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Doctor
Dr. Bloniarz treated me with kindness and explained things to me very thoroughly. Had I not lost my health insurance I would definitely stick with her. If she accepted Medicaid I’d love to continue seeing her.

My physician referred me to this doctor, whom I visited yesterday. In my opinion, her professional manner was disappointing. Although she had my profile up on her laptop screen along with said referral, she didn't seem to know why I was there, i.e., I had to explain in detail my various issues and the doctors I was scheduled to see. I mentioned having to cancel a podiatrist appointment last week out of an abundance of caution, since I was unwell that day. I asked if there were any questions she wanted to ask me and she said, you seem slightly congested; we're in a pandemic, I'm suprised they let you in. (?!) I was taken aback at this and replied that I answered all the questions at the front desk and I'm not sick now. We're both masked, so how would she know I'm congested? FWIW, I had trouble making out her broken English. She never attempted to examine me and said she'd schedule a hip x-ray 3 months from now. At that the visit ended. I found her to be aloof and indifferent.

I can only say that: worse doctor I have ever seen. I don't think she knows about rhematology. There are plenty of reviews that are positive. Don't believe them. To get positive review someone can ask friend to write how nice and good doctor she is. . My advise is to read only negative. Because they are more trustworthy and you can find more.
