What is a Rheumatologist and How Can They Help You?

  • Conducts comprehensive examinations, orders specialized serological testing and imaging, diagnoses rheumatic pathology, creates integrated treatment approaches
  • Manages inflammatory arthritis, systemic lupus, degenerative joint disease, crystal arthropathy, spondyloarthritis, and vasculitic syndromes
