10 years ago, after my labs came out negative for RA. Dr. T (as he calls himself to convey an image of a super cool and friendly guy) gave me no diagnostics, no explanation for my pain, and ended our encounter by handling me a pamphlet about Fibromialgia, without addressing my issues, and with a smile, he told me I should look for a psyachiatrist. After 10 years enduring pain and other symptoms, feeling guilty believing my mind was making up symptoms, I find myself battling untreated and neglected Sjögrens. Thank you Dr. T! ... read more

My daughter went to dr turkiewicz after she aged out of childhood pediatric. Thankfully dr Gabrielle stabilized her very well and she didn't have any flares for 9 years.

If you bring an issue to Dr. T's attention, like a swollen injection sit... read more

I had the most horrible experience with this doctor. I have had had Lupus for over 17 years so I am pretty well versed in how I should be treated by a rheumatologist. Went in for extreme pain for my Raynaud's symptoms in my fingers and his bed side manner was non existent. He was rude and extremely short with me. In all the years that I have had lupus I have never had to call to make my appointments for any of the other labs or x rays that my Rheumatologist may need. They have always set up the appointments with the help of ... read more

Met with a Dr. Turkiewicz who admitted that he is does not have experience with Still's patients and recommended that I seek tertiary care in Richmond, VA I did thorough research and weighed out all my options. I decided this was not a route that I wanted to take and that I was quite content with the treatment I was currently using (Kineret for almost 2 years) At my next appointment, I had told Dr. Turkiewicz that I did not wish to proceed with the tertiary care and that I was quite content with how well the Kineret was help... read more
