Rheumatology
Certain rheumatology diseases are more aggressive in children than they are in adults. We understand these nuances and offer hope in an often uncertain future. Our program is proud to offer the best and only pediatric-specific rheumatology care in Arizona and the Southwest. In Arizona, there are 7,000 children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. Our pediatric-trained rheumatologists are here to help.
