Weijia Yuan, M.D. 袁维佳 风湿科医师 — Local services in New York

Dr. Yuan is an experienced, very intelligent, and caring rheumatologist. She accurately diagnosed me with nr-axspa in my first year of symptoms and mentioned how important mindset is along diet and exercise. She also mentioned the possibility of remission. I've had 2 other rheumatologists since being Dr. Yuan's patient (due to insurance changes), and none have mentioned how important the mind/body connection is. How we feel about ourselves, how we're able to set boundaries with others, live a life in accordance with our own values, feel our feelings, and our social environment matter very much.

I'm glad Dr. Yuan is opening her own practice so that she can better serve patients and help more people realize that remission may be possible for them. She is an agent of change so needed in American...

Dr Yuan is different - she treats a patient holistically which includes body and mind. There, I’m not a number, I’m a human being which means a lot. She advised I change to an anti inflammatory diet, manage my stress, changed my drugs when necessary, and suggested alternative therapies like acupuncture. She’s thorough, she listens, and she returns calls. When I had covid, my local GP told me I couldn’t get the antiviral drug locally as everyone was out - Dr Yuan said that’s not true and called me back with a local pharmacy that had a prescription waiting for me. She goes above and beyond and she’s worth the 3-hour round trip from Long Island. I’ve been with her since HSS to NY Presbyterian, and now to her new practice. Highly...
