What is Rheumatology?
If you've been diagnosed with a rheumatic or autoimmune disease, you're likely feeling overwhelmed and full of questions. What exactly is rheumatology? How can this specialty help treat my condition? What should I expect at my first appointment?
As a rheumatologist, I understand how confusing this process can be. Rheumatology is still a relatively unknown field to many patients. That's why I'm here to guide you every step of
the way.
My specialty focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, gout, and over 100 other rheumatic and autoimmune diseases. I treat the joints, muscles, bones, and immune system.
The good news is that recent years have brought incredible advances in rheumatology treatments. Conditions that once had few options now have many effective therapies that help patients live fuller, more active lives. My clinic stays up-to-date on the latest evidence-based care so you can feel confident you're receiving the most innovative treatment.
I know there's a lot to learn when you're first diagnosed. But you don't have to go through this alone. I'm here to support you at every step of your treatment journey. I'll help you understand your condition, create an effective treatment plan, and improve your quality of life.
