Rheumatology

Our Board Certified Rheumatologist and his team are ready to help you alleviate rheumatology symptoms.

Our Specialist has extensive experience in treating such conditions as:
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis

  • Vasculitis

  • Sarcoidosis

  • Psoriasis

  • Lupus

  • Scleroderma Sjögren's Syndrome

  • Dermatomyositis

  • Psoriatic Arthritis

  • Gout

  • Ankylosing Spondylitis

  • Other Inflammatory Conditions

We also offer Musculoskeletal Ultrasonography Diagnostics and administer Therapeutic Injections at our location.


Musculoskeletal Ultrasonography Diagnostics:
Our in-house Ultrasound imaging is a safe and noninvasive medical test that helps diagnose and correctly treat medical conditions. With the use of ultrasound imaging, the physician can see pictures of tendons, muscles, joints, and ligaments in the body and therefore can administer injections with better precision.


Therapeutic Injections:
Injections for painful conditions such as OA of knees, shoulders, rotator cuff syndrome, bursitis, and tendinitis are available. These include state-of-the-art viscosupplementation for the knees. These injections may provide a significant improvement in pain and function with fewer possible risks and complications. Excluding neck and back injections.
