Our board certified rheumatologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of arthritis and other diseases affecting the joints and muscles. We offer today's newest advances in care to help those suffering from chronic and often disabling joint and autoimmune disorders. While some conditions are easily diagnosed, others require a unique level of expertise to pinpoint the problem. At St. Jude Heritage Medical Group, you'll find a team with experience and clinical insight that is second to none, allowing us to reach the right diagnosis. For many, our skill at accurately diagnosing their condition ends years of frustration and is the first step toward welcome relief and a better quality of life. Our commitment to providing the finest evidence-based medicine means we are continually applying the latest research and improvements in care, from new infusion therapies to cutting-edge biologics (which "turn off" the inflammatory response and prevent further damage of the joint and surrounding tissues). But our fellowship trained rheumatologists not only apply the newest advances—they help develop them. By participating in some of the most exciting research in the field of rheumatology today, our physicians are involved in developing new therapies to minimize disability and pain. And because St. Jude Heritage Medical Group includes virtually every specialty, our rheumatologists can involve a wide range of respected experts in your care: from orthopaedic surgeons and pain medicine specialists to endocrinologists and physical therapists. This allows comprehensive care that is not only more convenient but more effective. We successfully manage a wide range of conditions, including: • Rheumatoid arthritis At St. Jude Heritage Medical Group, the treatment of rheumatologic disorders is highly individualized: our physicians tailor medications and therapies to fit your needs and lifestyle.

New advances are allowing our physicians to successfully reduce or eliminate pain that would have been considered untreatable just a few years ago. Unlike many programs which focus exclusively on medications, our pain medicine physicians provide the entire spectrum of care, from non-invasive options—such as customized physical therapy and nerve blocks—to new minimally invasive interventions that block the transmission of pain signals.
