What is Rheumatology?

Rheumatology is a medical specialty that focuses on diagnosing and treating inflammatory and autoimmune conditions that affect the joints, muscles and tendons. Our rheumatologists specialize in conditions like arthritis, lupus, and gout, and work to help people manage pain, improve mobility, and maintain their quality of life.
