Sonia Silinsky Krupnikova, MD
I had a very positive experience at my first appointment with Dr. Krupnikova at Arthritis
and Rheumatism, Associates. I very much appreciated her professional, warm and caring manner; and she very patiently addressed all of my questions and concerns. I was very impressed with the kind and friendly staff at her office (including both receptionists, as well as Marguerite, Aster, and especially Alex [who was so helpful and supportive when taking x-rays of my hands and knees). I highly recommend this practice because of the exceptional
compassionate and professional care provided.
