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.

Very fortunate
My initial visit with Dr. Bejko left a very positive impression. She was very thorough, professional, and personable. There was a lot of ground to cover as she is the 4th Rheumatologist I have been with since being diagnosed with PMR in late 2019. She provided a specific guideline for me to wean off my steroid regimen with her supervision and expertise. I have full confidence that I am in good hands.

Dr. Bejko has been treating me for long covid for 2 years now. I have had many issues and other autoimmune issues come up. When I have flares she is right there with answers when I contact her. Very kind and caring doctor. Listens to what YOU have to say.

Dr. Bejko made a good first impression, and at first, I felt I was in good hands. Her direction changed quickly and not in a positive way. Instead of helping get to the bottom of things, she opted to "prescribe and forget," which wouldn't help me in the condition I was in. I tried to make sense of this change in direction by asking questions, which she took quite personally. Her entire demeanor changed, and I sat there in disbelief while an arrogant, angry, condescending, physician emerged. I must by lying about my symptoms, because Dr. Bejko is an expert. Imagine lecturing your patient about that and being wrong about it too. The silver lining is that I learned some lessons early on. Dr. Bejko feels that she wasted her time reviewing my case and thinks that I'm dishonest about my condition and the impact it has on my life. Fortunately, my current Rheumatologist doesn't - and the contrast between their approaches and results is stark.

At First, I was a patient of Dr. Nolan’s He’s thorough, polite and truly cares & listens to you concern. Then into the picture came Dr. Bejko. I was so impressed by her class and bedside manner. She really listens . She Willing to try different options to see what works for you best . If she says she gonna do something she follows through immediately. ( ordering prescriptions or tests) AAAAA

Wonderful! One visit, one script. She hit the nail on the head. I'm 77 and I haven't felt this good in 6 years.
