Dr. Yael Klionsky, MD

Dr. Klionsky literally changed my life. My quality of life has improved tremendously with her guidance and treatment. She goes above and beyond to provide the best treatment possible in order to see positive results.

Dr. Yael Klionsky went above and beyond to try to help me alleviate my arthritis pain. I highly recommend her care!

Clearly has an agenda through which she filters the patients she sees. I sought care here after some clear rheumatological issues and severe fatigue. Severe fatigue was my #1 complaint, in fact. Her response: 'I don't have a magic want to wave unfortunately.' LOL--WHAT DR SAYS THAT TO THEIR PATIENT? Anyway, after doing my own research on my condition, low Vit D is very common which causes fatigue. I pass this info along to my PCP who orders a Vit D test. Test comes back extremely deficient and I get Rx of weekly vit D supplement. Fatigue improves DRASTICALLY. Gee, it's almost like if you just practiced basic medicine instead of trying to push chemo pills on patients, you might have better patient outcomes. Give it a try sometime, Yael.This was a useless visit and I hope to never see this astoundingly lazy, unprofessional provider again. I would discourage anyone from seeing her if you have a say in the matter. Also, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH bc these doctors really don't know jack.

My first visit with Dr Klionsky was good. However the second visit was not. She first asked me why I was there and her office is the one who sent a me a text to schedule me for a follow up because they had a cancellation. I advised the Pilocarpine affected my kidneys and she advised it would not cause back pain. Well it did cause excessive sweating which could affect my kidneys especially since I was already dehydrated in the first place. She also advised when she has a magic wand for health problems, she would let me know. Very unprofessional. The visit she called me in for was a waste of time as she advised she could not help me.

She took time to listen to my concerns, she is very up to date on my condition. I am so blessed to have her as my doctor

She was a breath of fresh air for me. She reviewed my medical history, actually read the extensive new patient profile. She talked to me so I could understand and asked a lot of questions. She covered everything she planned to do and why, very thorough. I am very optimistic that she will help me and look forward to good results in treatment.

Dr. Klionsky is an expert rheumatologist - she is very well trained and is knowledgeable about the diverse causes of rheumatology diseases. She has a great patient repertoire and listens to you about your various symptoms. She explains the therapy and will take steps to help with side effects. I highly recommend Dr. Klionsky.

Ordered appropriate testing. Very easy to talk to.

I saw Dr. Klionsky today and she basically told me today that I do not have conditions that have been tested and noted in my records for years. She did this without a single test being performed, and then saying all she could do is refer me to a pain management clinic. She dismissed basically everything other physicians have said as well as myself. I do not recommend her at all. Will be getting referral to Duke.

Wonderful doctor, she was able to get my RA under control in less than two months after it was out of control for years.
