An Experienced Team
Our rheumatologists diagnose, treat, and manage conditions that affect the joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Rheumatologic disorders may also affect the blood vessels, skin, nerves, eyes, ears, and internal organs.
Rheumatologists provide specialized care for arthritis, especially autoimmune-mediated types and conditions such as lupus, scleroderma, all types of vasculitis and Sjogren's syndrome. Many of these rheumatic conditions are autoimmune diseases. The conditions are the results of your immune system mistakenly attacking healthy tissues. Symptoms can include joint pain and swelling but also other manifestations that indicate major organ involvement.
