Your joints hurt. Your skin is flaring.
You're Googling "foods for psoriatic arthritis". Everyone says diet matters. But nobody tells you WHAT to actually eat.

Your rheumatologist handed you a prescription and said nothing about food.
Here's what actually works:

Foods that WORSEN psoriatic arthritis:
❌ Sugar - spikes inflammation
❌ Processed foods - trigger flares
❌ Red meat - increases joint pain
❌ Alcohol - worsens skin plaques

Foods that REDUCE inflammation:
✅ Fatty fish - omega-3s calm joints and skin
✅ Leafy greens - reduce inflammatory markers
✅ Berries - protect against flares
✅ Olive oil - natural anti-inflammatory
✅ Turmeric - reduces joint swelling

Mediterranean diet reduces PsA symptoms by 20-30%.

But here's the truth: Food enhances treatment. It doesn't replace it.

At OnCall, we teach you BOTH. Aggressive medication for disease control + personalized anti-inflammatory nutrition = faster remission.

We don't just prescribe and disappear. We educate.

You told your doctor about joint pain, crushing fatigue, brain fog. He said:
"You're just stressed."
"You're overworked."
"It's anxiety."
"It's all in your head."

but....80% of autoimmune patients are women.

Yet women wait 4.5 YEARS longer for diagnosis than men.

Because doctors don't take women's pain seriously. They gaslight you. Blame stress. Make you doubt your own body.
Meanwhile, your disease progresses and damages your joints.

At OnCall, we BELIEVE WOMEN.

When you say you're in pain, we investigate. We don't dismiss it as stress. When you describe symptoms, we order comprehensive testing.
We don't gaslight. We diagnose.
We don't minimize. We treat aggressively.
Dr. Devalla, Dr. Girnita, and Dr. Titianu take women's symptoms seriously from day one.

Your symptoms aren't "in your head." They're in your joints, organs, immune system or related to your hormones.

You deserve a doctor who recognizes that.
Stop being dismissed. Start being believed.

Your ANA test is positive.
Now you're panicking.
Here's what it means: Your immune system is making antibodies against your own cells
Could be lupus (30-40%), Sjogren's (15-20%), RA (15-20%), or nothing serious (20%).

The titer matters:
1:80 → often normal
1:320+ → needs investigation

Did your rheumatologist ever talk to you about natural remedies?

Or just hand you a prescription and say "see you in 6 months"? Most rheumatologists are symptom checkers:
Write prescription. Order labs. Leave.
They never mention acupuncture. Never discuss turmeric. Never talk about fish oil.
You're left Googling at 2am wondering what actually works and what's snake oil.

You deserve better. At OnCall, we take an INTEGRATIVE approach. Yes, we prescribe biologics aggressively when needed. But we also TEACH you natural remedies that actually work:
Acupuncture - reduces pain and inflammation in clinical studies. We guide you to specialists.
Turmeric - powerful anti-inflammatory. We explain the right dose and formulation for absorption.
Fish Oil - reduces joint stiffness and morning pain.
Plus anti-inflammatory diet, stress management, sleep optimization, joint-safe exercise.

Dr. Devalla and Dr. Girnita give you the FULL toolkit.
Not just pills. Not just "alternatives." BOTH.

Other doctors treat symptoms. We educate and empower you with everything that works.

Your joints hurt. Your skin is covered in rashes. Your gut is a disaster.

You see three doctors. Rheumatologist. Dermatologist. Gastroenterologist. Each treats their piece. Nobody connects the dots.

But it's ALL the same problem.

Your overactive immune system is attacking your joints AND skin AND gut simultaneously. Psoriatic arthritis hits joints and skin. IBD and arthritis go together 30% of the time. Celiac triggers joint pain.

Treating them separately is like putting out fires in different rooms while the whole house burns. Other doctors are symptom checkers. One body part at a time.
We see the FULL picture. At OnCall, Dr. Devalla, Dr. Girnita, and Dr. Titianu understand autoimmune disease and hormone role.

We don't treat your joints and ignore your gut. We don't dismiss your skin as "not our department." We dont close our eyes to .
We look at ALL your symptoms together and educate you about how they connect. We create treatment plans for your WHOLE body.

We teach anti-inflammatory diets that calm your gut AND joints.
We explain why fixing gut health improves arthritis.
We address the hormone imbalances.
Because we're not treating symptoms. We're treating YOU.
Stop seeing five doctors who don't talk to each other.

Are you a woman whose joint pain has been blamed on anxiety, hormones, or "being too emotional"?**
The devastating reality is that women with wait an average of 4.5 years longer for diagnosis than men—and are FAR more likely to be dismissed, gaslit, and told their pain is psychological.

The gender bias that's destroying women's joints:

✓ "Have you tried yoga and meditation?" (while inflammation ravages your body)
✓ "It's probably perimenopause" (dismissing serious autoimmune disease)
✓ "Your labs are normal, so you're fine" (ignoring clinical evidence)
✓ "Women just handle pain differently" (code for "we don't believe you")
✓ "Maybe you're depressed?" (instead of ordering proper imaging)
✓ Sent home with antidepressants while psoriatic arthritis progresses untreated

Here is a question NO ONE is asking you: When was the last time a doctor actually EXAMINED your joints, asked about swelling and tenderness, and took your pain seriously as a medical symptom—not a psychological one?

This is where medicine fails women—and where WE do it differently.*

At Rheumatologist OnCall, Dr. Girnita doesn't use a "general approach" approach to treating all arthritis.

She orders MRIs WITH CONTRAST specifically designed to evaluate INFLAMMATION—not the standard MRI protocols that miss early autoimmune changes.

This intentional, targeted approach catches what other doctors dismiss as "normal aging" or "stress."

Why this matters?

• Contrast-enhanced MRI lights up active inflammation invisible on regular imaging
• It detects synovitis, enthesitis, and bone marrow edema BEFORE permanent damage
• It proves your pain is REAL when everyone else said "it's in your head"
• It guides precise treatment instead of guessing

Dr. Girnita, along with Dr. Devalla and lifestyle specialist Dr. Titianu, spend a full hour with each patient—believing you, examining you thoroughly, and using advanced diagnostic tools intentionally.

Not cookie-cutter protocols.

Not dismissive attitudes.

INTENTIONAL, PERSONALIZED RHEUMATOLOGIC CARE.

How many surgeries do you need before a TRUE diagnosis?

Here is what a patient of ours said:

"I had THREE surgeries on my wrist before anyone thought to send me to a rheumatologist."

Watch this patient's story and prepare to be shocked—and heartbroken. 💔

A patient suffering from wrist pain saw orthopedic surgeon after orthopedic surgeon. Each one said, "let's operate." So he did—multiple procedures, months of recovery, thousands of dollars spent.

But the pain kept coming back.

Because here's what NO ONE considered: This wasn't a surgical problem.

It was PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS.

This is the medical system's dirty secret:

✓ Patients are sent for invasive procedures without proper autoimmune workup
✓ Surgeons operate on joints to FIX the issue
✓ Insurance covers surgery but makes it nearly impossible to get an MRI or see a rheumatologist
✓ By the time patients finally get proper diagnosis, they've endured unnecessary trauma
✓ The inflammation continues destroying joints—surgery after surgery after surgery

Then he met Dr. Girnita.

In ONE appointment, Dr. Girnita connected the dots others missed.
Proper diagnosis.
Appropriate treatment.
NO MORE SURGERIES.
Finally—someone who understood that cutting into inflamed joints doesn't cure autoimmune disease.

This patient's life changed because someone finally LISTENED and LOOKED at the whole picture.

Watch his full story and hear how proper rheumatologic care saved him from another unnecessary procedure.

At Rheumatologist OnCall, Dr. Devalla, Dr. Girnita, and lifestyle specialist Dr. Titianu take the time others won't. We dig deeper. We ask the right questions. We prevent unnecessary interventions by getting the diagnosis RIGHT the first time.

Are your X-rays normal?

Did your doctor say there's nothing wrong with you, but you are in excruciating pain every single day?

This is the devastating reality of early psoriatic arthritis—and why so many patients suffer for YEARS before diagnosis.

Here's what many doctors won't tell you: "by the time X-rays show damage, irreversible joint destruction has already occurred."

The imaging confusion that's failing patients:

✓ X-rays only show LATE-STAGE bone changes—early inflammatory damage is invisible
✓ MRI and ultrasound detect enthesitis, synovitis, and bone edema YEARS before X-rays show anything
✓ Doctors using outdated protocols rely on X-rays alone and dismiss your very real symptoms
✓ "Normal imaging" becomes an excuse to stop investigating—leaving you suffering without answers
✓ Insurance companies deny advanced imaging, keeping you trapped in diagnostic limbo

Here's the painful truth:

You can have severe, active psoriatic arthritis with completely normal X-rays. Your pain is REAL.

Your inflammation is REAL.

The failure is in the system—not in your body.

What you actually need?

A rheumatologist who doesn't hide behind imaging reports. Someone who examines YOUR joints, correlates clinical findings with appropriate imaging, and knows when to use advanced techniques like musculoskeletal ultrasound or MRI to catch disease EARLY.

At Rheumatologist OnCall, Dr. Devalla, Dr. Girnita, and lifestyle specialist Dr. Titianu don't dismiss you because of a "normal" X-ray.

We use comprehensive clinical assessment combined with the RIGHT imaging at the RIGHT time—and we take a full hour to explain what we're seeing (or NOT seeing) and what it means for YOUR treatment.

Your symptoms are valid—even when imaging is "normal."

01/24/2026

"It's just stress."
"You're too emotional."
"Have you tried yoga?"
"It's probably fibromyalgia—nothing we can do."

If you're a woman with joint pain, you've heard it all.

Too much pain? You're "dramatic."

Not expressive enough? "Can't be that serious."

The system has trained you to downplay your suffering—and then punishes you for not advocating hard enough.

✓ Women wait 4-7 YEARS longer for autoimmune diagnosis than men
✓ Your symptoms are dismissed as anxiety, hormones, or "being difficult"
✓ Doctors label it fibromyalgia without a proper rheumatologic workup
✓ "Normal" labs become an excuse to stop investigating
✓ Meanwhile, psoriatic arthritis destroys your joints while everyone says "it's in your head"

At Rheumatologist OnCall, Dr. Devalla and Dr. Girnita, don't dismiss or minimize.

We take a full hour to examine you thoroughly, order targeted testing (including MRIs with contrast to evaluate inflammation), and get you the CORRECT diagnosis—not a convenient label.

We don't treat you like you're "complaining too much." We treat you like someone whose body is sending urgent signals that deserve serious medical attention.

Your pain is real. You deserve answers.

"My ANA is positive, and my rheumatoid factor is elevated—so do I have lupus, Rheumatoid arthritis, or psoriatic arthritis?"

This is where patients get lost in the medical system.

Here's the confusing truth: there is NO single blood test that definitively diagnoses psoriatic arthritis.

And those positive markers?

They can show up in Psoriatic arthritis too—but most doctors panic and misdiagnose based on labs alone. Traditional offices see a positive ANA or Rheumatoid Factor (RF), slap on a diagnosis, start treatment—without taking time to understand YOUR complete clinical picture.

Wrong diagnosis = wrong treatment = continued suffering.

The reality! Psoriatic arthritis is a CLINICAL diagnosis—meaning your symptoms, physical exam findings, pattern of joint involvement, and disease progression tell the story.

Labs support diagnosis; they don't make it.

At Rheumatologist OnCall, Dr. Devalla, Dr. Girnita, and lifestyle specialist Dr. Titianu take a full hour to interpret your labs in the context of YOUR body, YOUR symptoms, YOUR story.

We don't let confusing test results lead to misdiagnosis—we use clinical expertise honed over years to get it RIGHT.

Did you know you can have psoriatic arthritis for YEARS without obvious SKIN psoriasis?

15 -20% of patients with psoriatic arthritis develop joint symptoms FIRST—before any skin involvement.
Or you might have had one tiny patch of psoriasis on your scalp or behind your ear a decade ago that you barely noticed.

And now?

Mysterious joint pain that doctor after doctor calls "normal wear and tear."

This is why patients are being failed!

Traditional 10-15 minute appointments can't uncover:

✓ That small scaly patch you had years ago that "went away."
✓ The family member with psoriasis you forgot to mention
✓ The pattern of your nail changes that started subtly
✓ The exact location of your pain (entheses vs joint spaces—this MATTERS)
✓ The connection between your gut issues and joint inflammation
✓ The timeline that reveals progressive autoimmune disease

The devastating reality.... By the time rushed doctors finally diagnose Psoriatic arthritis, irreversible joint damage has often occurred.

Not because the signs weren't there—but because no one took the TIME to look.

We do things differently.

At Rheumatologist OnCall, Dr. Devalla, Dr. Girnita, and lifestyle specialist Dr. Titianu are medical detectives who spend a full hour diving deep into YOUR story.

We ask the questions others don't.

We examine what others miss.

We connect dots that rushed appointments leave scattered.

Because finding the diagnosis others missed isn't just our job—it's our mission.

Online consultations are now available for residents in AL, AZ, CA, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, KY, MD, MI, MN, MT, OH, OK, OR, PA, TX, and WI.
