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.

Our family-focused team consists of board-certified rheumatologists (the only pediatric rheumatologists in the state of Arizona), pediatric nurses and medical assistants. When left untreated or under-treated, rheumatic diseases can cause disability in childhood and negatively affect a child's growth and development. We stand on the front lines with our patients to give them the best chance at a full, active life.
