Pediatric Rheumatology

If your child has complaints of pain in the joints, muscles, bones or tendons, or other symptoms of arthritis or an autoimmune disorder, your pediatrician or family doctor may refer you to us.

We diagnose and treat patients from birth through adolescence with inflammation of joints and muscles and autoimmune diseases, including juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, enthesitis, Kawasaki syndrome, scleroderma, lupus, vasculitis and others. We also collaborate with other pediatric specialists as needed, such as physical and occupational therapists, orthopedic surgeons, pain management specialists, ophthalmologists and GI doctors. 

If your child has vasculitis that affects his kidneys, we offer a vasculitis clinic with our pediatric nephrologists. The clinic makes it convenient for patients to see all the specialists they need at once.

If your child requires intravenous infusion treatments to manage their illness, we have an outpatient infusion center staffed by physicians, residents and a dedicated registered nurse with expertise in pediatric infusion.
