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.

For years I was suffering fatigue. I went to see Dr. Mirta 4 Years ago and continued to see her once a year, I trusted she was right. She even joked about me not knowing the difference between fatigue from being tired and fatigue from being sick. I'm pretty certain I was sick, my t3 and t4 and THS were always at the low end of the chart, My Hives are out of control, I told her my hair was falling out and my joints hurt periods was like I was losing them, and now they are gone(I'm only in my 40's). Well today I went to a new Dr. Holistic one, I am way below normal in T3, and T4 and THS is on the cusp of below normal. I should have went with my gut on this years ago and changed Dr's. I lost 4 years of my life because Dr. Mirta Kelijman said I was fine and it was in my head and it had to be something else!! Do you have any idea of how much money I spent looking to find out what was wrong with me for all those years. I truly thought I am going to die young and no one will know why!

I was not impressed with the doctor. My questions/concerns were not addressed and the doctor always seemed to be rushed or in a hurry.

Once Dr Kelijman gets in the exam room she gives her patient the undivided attention . Reviews lab work , any changes whatsoever are scrutinized to the extent where my other specialists are consulted right there on the phone . No short cuts . She is the right Endocronologist if you must see one . Extremely professional , kind and has a special heart for people with disabilities . She is also human like the rest of us and has No Time for nonsense and rude people.

The most rude and difficult doctor I have ever met. I cannot attest to her abilities to help people because she certainly did not help me. All she did was order tests and keep having me come to the office to discuss, No resolutions, lots of discussions

Dr. Kelijman, is an amazing, she listen to her patience concerns, she dedicates as much time to a patient as needed, she makes sure that you understand her directions before leaving her office. Dr. Kelijman and her staff will provide step by step instructions, along with answering any questions you might have.
