Rheumatic diseases are a group of more than 100 disorders causing arthritis and pain in the joints and stiffness in the muscles and tissues. These diseases may also cause inflammation in the connective tissues of other parts of the body. Rheumatic diseases include rheumatoid arthritis, gout, lupus, vasculitis, myositis, bursitis, tendonitis, among others. Our goal is to provide you with the highest quality, compassionate healthcare from a dedicated team of rheumatologists.
• Rheumatology
  The American College of Rheumatology’s has developed patient information on a number of vital topics of interest to patients with rheumatic diseases.
• Pediatric Care
  After four years of medical school and three years of training in either internal medicine or pediatrics, rheumatologists devote an additional two to three years in specialized rheumatology training. Most rheumatologists who plan to treat patients choose to become board certified. Upon completion of their training, they must pass a rigorous exam conducted by the American Board of Internal Medicine or the American Board of Pediatrics to be certified. Rheumatologists who are certified by these boards after 1990 are required to complete an extensive recertification process every ten years.
