If your child has complaints of pain in the joints, muscles, bones or tendons, or other symptoms of arthritis or a rheumatic 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 rheumatic diseases, including:
- Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
- Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
- Enthesitis
- Scleroderma
- Lupus
- Vasculitis
- Juvenile Dermatomyositis
- Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO)
- Hypermobility
We also collaborate with other pediatric specialists to provide comprehensive care to our patients.
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.
