Specialties
Dr. Micha Abeles has the following 2 specialties
- Rheumatology
A rheumatologist is a physician who has received extensive training in diagnosing and treating rheumatic conditions. Rheumatic conditions involve the joints, soft tissues, autoimmune system, vascular system, and connective tissues.
Some of the conditions that rheumatologists treat are rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, sarcoidosis, vasculitis, and lupus. These are all conditions that involve a lot of pain and make mobility difficult. Rheumatologists use medications, such as analgesics, NSAIDs, steroids, DMARDs, infliximab, and adalimumab, as well as occupational therapy, in order to decrease pain and improve a patient's quality of life. - Internal Medicine
An internist is a physician who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the adult population—both acute and chronic.
These doctors are often who adults see as their primary physicians because they treat a broad range of illnesses that do not require surgical or specialist interventions. They also work to help a patient maintain optimal health in order to prevent the onset of disease.
In addition to treating the common cold and flu, internists also treat chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

Dr. Abeles is a wonderful rheumatologist - love him dearly. He's friendly, courteous and caringâ¤. He shows and expresses his concerns when a certain medication fails to perform what it's prescribed for. His staff is also a nice group of caring people, but when your aching inflamed joints call for his immediate attention, the appointments given over the phone are horrendous. I mean, who wants to wait a month or so when you're flaring up and in crucial pain?!
