Adult Rheumatology

2950 Cleveland Clinic Boulevard, Weston, FL 33331

"This Rheumatologist is biased toward her patients. All cases and patients are unique and should be treated as individuals. If you, as a doctor, do not want to treat certain types of people, you should relocate from Florida or change your profession. I saw her about joint pain and a positive ANA test, and she told me it was normal. She quickly dismissed me as a patient and sent me home. It was my first experience being referred to her, which wasn't very reassuring. I left her office feeling like I wasted her time and mine. The pain that was only in my fingers and toes has now spread to my entire body, making my life difficult. My stomach always hurts, and my back and rib cage feel like I have an elephant sitting on it. My knees, neck, and shoulders are constantly cramping and making cracking sounds as I move about my day. I will never use Florida Blue ever again. Cleveland Clinic Hospital needs to do better by reviewing the physicians they hire."

What is Rheumatology?

Rheumatology is the medical specialty that is concerned with arthritis and other diseases of inflammation. Inflammation can occur anywhere in the body, but it is most common in the joints and connective tissues. Arthritis, which occurs in the joints, is also a very common condition, so rheumatology is strongly associated with joint care. But rheumatology is about more that just arthritis. Other conditions that a rheumatologist might treat include:

Lupus, a chronic inflammatory disease
Ankylosing spondylitis, inflammation at the base of the spine
Sjogren's syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that stops production of tears and saliva
Fibromyalgia, a disorder causing widespread, chronic pain and fatigue

Pediatric rheumatologists are doctors that specialize in treating inflammatory diseases in children. Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and other inflammatory diseases can begin even in childhood, and can cause a unique set of problems for active and growing children.

Rheumatologists use patient symptoms as well as lab tests and imaging tests such as MRIs to diagnose disease. Treatment varies widely depending on the diagnosis, but it may include physiotherapy (to improve motion, ability, and function) or medications. Commonly prescribed medications include anti-inflammatories such as NSAIDS (e.g. Tylenol, Ibuprofen) and steroids, or immune system suppressants such as methotrexate and TNF inhibitor medications (e.g. Enbrel, Humira). The goal is always to increase the patient's ability to move without pain and to reduce the need for future treatment.
