"I have my doubts that this place is even a licensed medical facility! The "Doctor" is all about making money, treatment is to do as little as possible and bill your insurance company. The "Urgent Care" office refuses walk-ins, you must have an appointment and the office looks as if it has been closed for years. The Father/Daughter "team" here, that claims to both be Doctors, but everything is processed through her name although I have never seen/met her- I am not even sure the person who saw me was even a Doctor! All of my paperwork and prescriptions say they I was treated by "Dipti Bhoiwala" but it was her father who saw me and wrote the script in her name! He will NOT provide referrals to anyone other than his daughter, probably because he doesn't have a current medical license and they will NOT use your requested pharmacy to fill scripts. You will get the generic response of "Take these pills and come back next week (so that we can charge your insurance company again)". "

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.
