cialty of Rheumatology, and the diagnosis and treatment of arthritis, certain auto-
immune diseases, musculoskeletal and joint pain/disorders, and osteoporosis.
Our mission is to build relationships and interact with our patients and their

of life in relation to their rheumatological problems. We are additionally com-
mitted to communicate and integrate care with our patient’s other healthcare
providers to achieve a comprehensive, manageable and successful plan of care.
Our practice is small enough to offer traditional, personal, professional care yet
large enough to assure progressive, diverse, state of the art treatment options.
We welcome you as patients and appreciate your feedback on how we can
continue to service your rheumatology needs in the best way possible. Please
visit our website for more information on our practice, its services and locations
