Rheumatology Services

​

Who is a rheumatologist?
Rheumatologists diagnose and treat diseases of the joints, muscles, and immune system. Unlike orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists do not perform surgery. Common conditions include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, lupus, tendinitis, and chronic back pain related to inflammatory disease.

 

What to expect at your visit
Your first visit is a conversation and a careful exam—not a rushed checklist. We review your history, examine joints and related systems, discuss prior tests, and order any labs or imaging still needed. Then we outline options in plain language so you know what to expect next.

 

Services include
• New patient evaluations and consultations
• Second opinions
• Ongoing management of arthritis and autoimmune disease
• Joint injections when appropriate
• Infusion therapy coordination (see Infusion Services)
• Telemedicine follow-ups when clinically appropriate
