Patient Comments

March 15, 2021I love my doctor. Dr. Z is THE BEST of all my doctors.
February 26, 2021I've been seeing her for 6 years. She is an excellent rheumatologist who gives me expert knowledgeable care for the autoimmune diseases I suffer from. We make decisions together about drug therapy and everything involved in the process of my ongoing treatment so that I can continue quality of life. I wouldn't change specialists for these reasons.
February 22, 2021Doctor was attentive and listened
February 18, 2021The care provider has lots of knowledge about Lupus patients and proper treatment .
February 3, 2021She is obviously knowledgeable about her specialty area but needs to recognize the person as well as the "patient," and interact with them on both levels -
January 25, 2021Dr Z has been very helpful in working with me and my health issues.
December 28, 2020My experiences with Dr. Ziolkowska have always been good.

September 15, 2020I'm truly pleased with her. I had soo many questions and she acknowledged each and everynone of them. She took her time.
September 2, 2020All good.
August 23, 2020Dr. Z is a very caring person and YES I would recommend her to everyone.
August 19, 2020Dr. Z always stays until all my questions are answered, until procedures are finished and she checks in on me and allows me to rant about the overall system, health care, psoriatic arthritis and the chronic pain vs acute pain. Then she explains to me the reasons for the pain, why not to do any injections if possible anymore and is always gentle and caring. She's my favorite provider of my care team and approached medicine like a professional and also is careful in what she says. If she says something challenging to me, will find a paper or something to back up what she has said and why to do this or that and why to continue or not continue of medications, not add more or to add more. she always explains well enough, the first time that I understand and I move forward in my thinking and communicating with her. She also gives me time to think and process before running out of the room. Always makes sure she's answered every question, asks if I have anything else she needs to know about before my next check-up and I tell her or not depending on if anything is coming up. I did tell her about the wheelchair incident and she took notes into reasoning for service, looked over the chair and could see the problems with the legs not being even, jerking when going up and not matching in the way they sit on the chair. I keep running over myself because of the footplate hitting the tire with the left foot so she wrote down all notes she so would be ready when the next bunch of paperwork comes in. I also warned her about maybe wanting to add elevation to the wheelchair because it's difficult to be so low all the time and especially at appts, talking with people, doing things at home, I can't use my chair to brush my teeth because the sink is too high, if the chair would elevate the seat a bit, I could possibly do more ADL's for myself and even be able to get into the shower or bath with more ease. Made notes again. She's awesome.
July 23, 2020The Provider is the best as far as I am concerned.
July 22, 2020Dr Z is wonderful, knowledgeable, kind and patient. A true professional doctor
